Hi Ivy, Thanks for sharing this post.  I definitely agree, faith not only means waiting for God to hand us something, we need to do what we can do and let God handle the things that we cannot control. Joanna

Get Your Shovel and Start Digging

"He said, “This is what the Lord says: Make this valley full of ditches. You will not see wind or rain, but this valley will be filled with water. You, your cattle, and your other animals will drink." ~ 2 Kings 3:16-17I really want to thank Elevation Church for the inspiration for this post. Steven Furtick, author of Sun…See More

A Shoulder To Lean On

As women, we are often the foundation of our support system. That makes it hard to ask for support when you need it most. That's the heart of this group. Let's lift each other up through the hard times and support each other when we need it most.See More

WTF Friday: It's All in the Strategy

The big day is almost upon us. It's a day shadowed in urgency and darkness. For those of us who stay in the comfort of our homes on this day, it's a day that brings great joy, lots of sleep and moments of laughter and awe.I'm talking about Black Friday, you know the biggest shopping day of the year! The day when stores get out of the red and into the black (hence the name). It's also the day lots of people get trampled, doors knocked down and more fights break out than at a hockey game.Well, I…See More

Hi Ivy, Thanks for sharing. This is definitely a hard decision to make. If you don't feel right about it, maybe you can talk to the parents who had their kids in this or other preschools. See what they think about the overall impact of…

Thanks Dawn. I have been homeschooling him some already. That was my thought too. He does get some social interaction at Sunday School and his music class. He is still signed up, so he hasn't lost his spot. Luckily we don't have to truly…

So don't do it. Listen to your gut instinct. If you don't feel right about the school, don't put your kid in it. Before giving up completely, though, you may look at other preschools nearby. Otherwise, teach the kid what you think…

To Preschool or Not to Preschool

Preschool sign-ups... Well, they weren't quite what I expected. I thought they would give an overview of their program, what the children will do all day, what they will learn... you know a generalwhat to expect.Instead, we got a here are all the teachers at our four locations and some photos on tri-folds.Maybe I'm being a little picky, but this is my son. Shouldn't I want the best for him?We didn't get a tour of the rooms or any kind of preview of what each location does. Just a sign-up sheet…See More

WTF Friday: Lessons from Mom

Welcome to the Mother's Day edition of WTF Friday!

As a mom, I can say this holiday, which just happened to start in my home state of West Virginia, has been fun so far. I'm looking forward to the day when I get homemade presents and genuine effort from my son, who is finally growing to appreciate holidays and special days in general.

This year, my husband, who I have to…

Part 4: False Alarm Foreshadowing

Last month I began a series about Speedy's birth that really took on a life of it's own. I thought I would save these last few posts for Mother's Day weekend. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me on this series, the comments and emails have been wonderful to read. It make me so glad I decided to stick with blogging. I just love you all so much!

"I can't be in labor," I told me husband. "My water hasn't broken."…

Hi Ivy,

How are you doing?  Life is well with me and my baby Sophia:)  I spent my first Mother's Day with my hubby and we took some family photos.  Life is definitely very different nowadays with baby but it is a wonderful experience.  I don't think I would want it any other way:)

I haven't been blogging too much because there are usually many things to take care of during the day but I will try to get back on track!

 

Wish you a wonderful weekend:)  Keep me posted!

Joanna

Ivy,
That's so funny! I was just thinking about you too. My college soccer season is over (I have officially submitted my resignation) and I am trying to make the full transition to writing full time. I wish it could go faster, but the reasons for the delay is probably okay (trip to Hawaii and now family and house guests until after Thanksgiving) I do look so forward to getting reconnected with people. How are you doing?

Hi Ivy,
I have not yet made it to the Pittsburgh show because that one runs at the same time I am coaching my team. This may very well be my last year coaching, though, and if that is the case then I think a trip to Pittsburgh may be in order!

Hi Ivy - I was sent a link to your latest blog about going to church, but it won't let me open it. It just says it can't go there. Could you check on this, and see what the problem is, and maybe repost it?
