June At The Parsonage

Friday, August 21st, 2020

The end of May and the month of June. When we couldn’t imagine that the world would get any crazier, it did. I retreat and find solace within the walls of my crazy home. As wild as it is in here, it’s just too much for me “out there.” I quit Facebook finally. After years of knowing I should but never pulling that trigger. It feels good.

I’m now the mother of 10 and I strongly sense the pull to once again make I Thessalonians 4:11 my theme for the year, as I did several years back:

Mother’s Day

Thursday, May 21st, 2020

May 10: Several times lately I’ve looked at Phil and said, “We have TEN kids.” I really still can’t wrap my head around that. And at the same time, it’s just normal to me. I don’t really think about that….until I do. Our kids are just our kids, our family is our family, sure there are tons of adjustments and ways we have to live differently than the average American family, but it’s just our life. Then it hits me, we have 10 kids!! I’m a mother of ten. Yes, it’s overwhelming at times but I am blessed beyond what I deserve. I will speak that truth even when I don’t feel it. God is good. I love you babies!
