The book Radical by David Platt

I am reading this book Radical. It is a very challenging, eye-opening read. Please take a few minutes to watch this video.

Mother's Day

I've been thinking about my Mother's Day, and my thoughts are turning towards my mom and the sacrifices she has always made for me and our family. And this past weekend was no different. She travelled up to watch the girls so that I could spend the day working with Mike on our renovation. There's alot of things she could've been doing that day, but she put that all aside and came here.
She's always doing things like that, putting others before herself. She's been such an example to me of the type of mom I desire to be to my girls.
I love my mom, I'm so thankful for her everyday.


I read this during my morning devotion and wanted to pass it on to all of you.
"There is One who gave and who gives more than any mother. And how mothers need that which He has to give - for those times of weariness there is the gentleness of the Lord and the knowledge of His loving-kindness. For the sense of inadequacy there is His sufficiency, and for the joy of being a mother there is the delight of sharing it all with Him." Doris Aldrich
