One of the areas that I really decided I needed to take some time to develop and focus for 2019 is my Spiritual Disciplines. This includes things like Bible reading, prayer, and Scripture memory. I did really well with this in January and then in February it kinda fell by the wayside. So at the… Continue reading Introduction to 1 Kings
Last week as I walked out of work on Thursday afternoon I breathed in a deep sigh of relief knowing that I would be getting a full 4 days or not being at work. Don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy my job, but knowing that I had a few days to get some things… Continue reading Mom Guilt 101
Be real. I have heard that a lot lately from various places. So that's what I'm going to try and do. Get a little bit more real. I'm going to share as close to daily as I can about the down and dirty parts of life here in the Marshall household. The names and… Continue reading The DMV
The best laid plans... Seriously though, why is it that when it seems like I have taken every necessary step to get all my little ducks in a row I turn around 10 minutes later to see that my ducks aren't in a row at all. In fact, they aren't even in the same vicinity… Continue reading It’s Time To Get Real…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! To be honest I am really shocked at how quickly and yet how slowly 2018 went by. The year as a whole was hard. For my family it started in a valley and it really took until about the middle of the year before we even started to climb back up to… Continue reading Setting Goals for 2019
Faith I have said, read, and thought that word enough over the past week that it's starting to not sound like a word at all. Even so, it's a word that I will be thinking and focusing on for the foreseeable future because faith is my chosen word of 2019. This past year I chose… Continue reading And My Word for 2019 Is…
Its 11:00 on Christmas night. All the holiday meals have been eaten and cleaned up from, the gifts have been opened, played with, examined, and appreciated, and now everyone is sleeping soundly. All in all I have to say it's been a great day. There were no bad attitudes, no melt downs, and no fights… Continue reading When Christmas Doesn’t Feel Christmassy
