Because Mamas Need Hope


I’ve got exciting news! Much like my opening post for this blog it is with nervous anticipation that I announce to you… My first book is in the works!  This has been a dream for me since I can remember and now the time is right. 

I want this book to be an encouragement to young moms. Because being a mama is work! Hard work.! And it is easy to get frustrated with our husbands… our kids…our homes… and our lives. We often feel drained, discontent, distracted and as if we are drowning in a  never ending list of to-do’s. We need hope! Hope found in a vision to see the importance of our role.  

The value of our mama footprint on the hearts of our children is often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of daily life. We have approximately an 18 year window to influence and shape our children. And our Enemy knows he has those same 18 years as well. 

As Christian moms, these years are a call to action. A call to do more. More than just get through the day. A call to see our children through God’s eyes and to embrace mamahood with passion in the day-in day-out, milk-spilled-on-the-floor, dirty-diapers moments of life and leave a godly impression on our young ones that will last an eternity.

This book will explore the difference between being just a mom and being a godly mom who uses her influence in daily life to point her children’s hearts towards Christ.  Mamahood is more than just proper care and feeding of their little ones. It is about shaping young hearts and leading young souls.  

I know you are limited on both time and sleep and therefore attention span. So to give you the accomplished feeling of finishing a book before its time to plan a graduation open house, this book will purposely be shorter in length. Yay!

But this will be more than just a book. You will be able to engage other mamas through the book’s Facebook page (I’ll let you know when it’s up and running) and watch fun videos to inspire and encourage you as you pursue the mamavision - all right here at PursuingMore.com.

Precious One

I enjoyed tucking my daughter in tonight, we talked and even giggled when I broke out spontaneously in a ridiculous rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. “Mom, rub my face like you used to” she requested. She shut her eyes as my fingers danced lightly around her face, something she used to like when she was a little girl. She drifted off to sleep and my thoughts drifted to praying for her. “Father, keep her from evil and keep evil from her… "She is Yours, help her to know that and live it and find satisfaction in nothing and no one else…." I was struck by the truth that her life and soul mean infinitely more to me than anything this life can offer. As I prayed, God re-ordered some things in my life and refocused my heart. I have been anxious to repaint my living room a fresh new color. Yet compared to the vital task of raising this young woman, building a God-world view in her life, my living room and so many other desires took a back seat and seemed so unimportan...

Announcing Another Litle Girl

What a new newborn does to a person! I’m in love. *sigh* Papa and I were able to spend almost a week with this new sweet-one when she was newborn.   Introducing Little Miss Alaya Jane . Isn’t. she. just. adorable? She’s my little Peanut. We’ve had 3 new granddaughters in the past 10 months – which makes a total of 5 little girls in 2 ½ years, and we are loving it! You can catch up on the first 4, Sweet Pea, Chickadee, Honey Bee, and Squirt, in the archives. (I'm having difficulty with linking to certain posts at the moment.) Oh, how the grace of God is so faithful! We have been reflecting on how proud we are of how our kids have grown to be adults who love God and married spouses who follow Him too. To see them start families and train their little ones to live to “make Jesus happy” – to put it in toddler terms. This leaves this Papa and Mama so happy… and humble. We weren’t perfect parents. We tried to be good parents, but often fell short. We are so thankf...
