It’s been a tough week in our house.  It’s been a week of pinkeye, double ear infections, more pinkeye, tantrums, more pinkeye, mom’s monstrous cold, and still more pinkeye.  Yep, to say this mama has been frazzled, well that’s putting it mildly! We’ve been caged in the house, me and my littles, for an entire […]

I am THRILLED to have guest blogger, Sarah from Strain Me, join us here at Faith Along the Way today!  I love her writing and she challenges me to dig deeper in my faith and to fix my eyes on Jesus. I know you will leave here inspired and your soul refreshed as you take […]

  I hail from the land of the cheese and home of the Packers, none other than the sometimes frozen tundra of Wisconsin, where cows graze and hope to find a speck of hay not frozen solid. With those frigid temperatures, I developed a deep respect for our furnace at a young age as we […]

Beep, beep, beep. I roll over, in shock that it is 6:30 ALREADY; in disbelief it is time to begin another day.  As my feet hit the floor, I unplug my phone. I stumble to the kitchen, bed head and old-lady robe in tow, to start my day the best way I know how; with […]

Happy Saturday!  I hope this weekend finds you able to sit back and relax awhile! This week I shared my heart about judgmental attitudes among women in The Women Wars:Why Must We Judge?  I am so proud of the many women that came forward and expressed a desire to change their behavior and stop judging others. […]

  Claws out, lots of hair pulling, mixed in with some high pitched squealing. When I think about “chick fights”, that picture comes to mind. Suddenly I am transported back to my high school days, where an occasional girl fight would break out in the courtyard.  I would stand back, shake my head a little; […]

THANK YOU for the kind comments and prayers as our family sought wisdom for our daughter, Joy’s, education. Last week I shared my heart about my concern for the dramatic regression we noticed once she began Special Needs Preschool. Thus began our journey in bathing this situation in prayer for wisdom and exploring our options […]

  You’ve been wronged and are more than hurt.  Your spirit is crushed, you are seeing red and even feel like your blood is boiling. You want to scream, maybe you even do. You want to lash out, want to make the offender suffer in a way that is torturous so that they will feel […]

This weekend took me by surprise at how fast it came and went and I completely neglected the weekend printable I usually post.  Oops!  So I am starting this week off right with a free Scripture printable to guide you through this week and help you focus on the Lord in all moments of your […]

Dear Joy, Happy Birthday, my baby girl! I can’t believe you are four years old today!  So much has changed in our lives since this time last year, yet by choosing joy in God’s plan for your life, I am forever changed for the better. You see it’s been almost 9 months since you were […]

It’s 4:30 a.m. and I was in a dead sleep when I hear pounding, shouting and an occasional scream.  What’s that noise?  Has someone broken into our home?  Once I reorient myself and catch my breath, I realize that’s just my daughter, Joy, gearing up for her nightly play/screaming session.  That’s right, it’s just Autism […]
