Just another Christian Mommy

I picked this verse because it's one that I like to think of when I am stressed about the future. This past week especially when  I discovered my  financial  aide seems to not have gone through on time so I may be stuck paying all my tuition plus books and be issued a refund at the end of next month....For me right now that's stressful because college, isn't cheap and of course I have to buy all sorts of back to school supplies for both of my boys at the same time. However the Lord knows what he wants for me and when, everything is, is in his time not mine.  It's funny as i just typed those words I thought of my church's VBS theme "In God's Time" I spent over half my day crafting all sorts of things for it, including cutting fabric letters to spell this phrase out. How fitting that I would have these words in front of me when I am stressed out and in need of the comfort in knowing that God has it covered... it may be be when and what I want but he

My children have been on a minion spree lately and love love love when I play this video from Youtube which has the minions being minions to "Happy". Having 2 boys, its hard to find shows they want to watch and characters they want to be like that don't have violence in them. Super Heros are great and all but I've found by limiting those toys and shows they behave better.

To start I used the following ingredients: Cup cake wrappers funfetti cupcake mix ( or any mix and what ever the mix calls for) Funfetti frosting ( or any frosting, also my boys alway like to help me color the frosting and or batter with food color

I am not your traditional Lutheran Mom, I am an everyday person who isn't perfect, trying to provide the best I can for my 2 boys. I used to be in what seemed like a great relationship with my children's father. We owned a home, I worked part time as the children's choir director at my church, we went to family and community events......however things were not black and white, they were not always what they seemed. It was a hard decision to make but I know God didn't want me in an unhealthy relationship that left me feeling like I was worth nothing. The day I left all sorts of doors opened up for me, things happen that only would if God was making it happen. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways. I now have returned to college to finish a music AA and I hope to get a BA in worship arts next. I also run a successful blog, Crochet Chiq  which helps me to provide for my family. In this blog I plan to share everyday type life events,  mom tips, crafts and reviews of prod
