What Motherhood Means to Me

Motherhood is the most precious gift the Lord has blessed me with. Even when I'm feeling tired and weary, I know in my heart my precious children were hand picked by God to be a part of my world.

He orchestrated our family to be together, blessing each others lives with smiles, laughter, kindness, and compassion. And more! We aren't a perfect family though. We each have our faults and quirks that grate on one another's nerves.

My oldest daughter can screech so loud it actually hurts my ears. As with the sound of nails on a ...

When Cancer Shakes Our Family…

by Rosann Cunningham

I was pulling our homemade pizza out of the oven when it happened.

The white and hot pink trim of my phone buzzed around on the kitchen island behind me. Careful not to burn myself on the round stone, I quickly glanced over my shoulder to see my mom's face on the display.

Hmmm...that's weird, I thought to myself. I just talked to her about an hour ago. She doesn't usually call me twice in one day. This can't be good...

"Hi Mom!"

"Hi, I just received some sad news and wanted to make sure you were aware..."

50 Ways to Help Put a Smile on Your Child’s Face

by Rosann Cunningham

When I look at my children I'm instantly reminded of what a gift they are. I know my job is to parent them, not be friends with them, but honestly I don't see anything wrong with having fun with my kids.

I love to see them smile and if I can help put that smile on their face, all the better!

Life is short. We should make the time we have special for and with the people we love. Sometimes life gets busy though and it's hard to find creative ways to create giggles or memories.

A Little Bit of Sleep Goes a Long Way

by Rosann Cunningham

Sleep.

Glorious sleep. A little bit of sleep goes a long way, doesn't it?

This morning I slept in. Well, if you can consider 8am sleeping in. For me, it was three extra hours of glorious, awesome, peaceful sleep.

I really needed it and truth be told, I could use a nap while I'm typing these very words. I've been in such deprivation of lengthy, uninterrupted sleep for months. It's really taken a toll on this mama who thrives best on 8 hours of sleep each night.

Sleep can make such a difference in our emotional and ...

Loud Time With the Lord

by Rosann Cunningham

Please welcome my guest today, Katie Phillips. Blogging over at Operation: Leap of Faith, Katie has a beautiful gift for storytelling. I was captivated by her words when I first read this. And I could totally relate with her experience. Take a look!

...

My quiet time lately has been ridiculous. And by ridiculous, I mean, it's been loud. It should be called "loud time" with the Lord. Loud, rambunctious, non-quiet quiet time.

Part of it is my own fault, really. I could get up earlier. I tend to be a snooze button ...

I Really Need You to Know…I’m Not Perfect

by Rosann Cunningham

Today I had an emotional meltdown. In front of my friends.

Lately I feel off and I can't put my finger on what the problem is. Perhaps I'm under some sort of spiritual attack. Maybe it's just burnout. Or even just a healthy dose of self-condemnation; way too much guilt being piled onto my heart.

Wiping tears from my eyes I blurted out the words:
