Linked: The New Church Lady

Yes.

http://pearlsandgrace.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-new-church-lady.html?spref=fb&m=1

May we ever be mindful of who we are when we stand in God's house ...especially when His children who may not look, think or act like us, children who are looking for any reason to continue to run from God, and have experienced nothing but heartache when it comes to "religion" come in.

Linked: How to Pray for Strong Willed Children

I found a lot of my same thoughts here, I particularly love the prayer at the end.

I want my girls to grow to be confident, compassionate leaders - not easily manipulated and willing to stand up for what's right. I see their determination to be themselves daily - I pray that I have the right words and actions to shape them into the women of God they were designed to be - while not breaking their spirit.

All that I didn't do... for Valentine's

Here's some of the cute things I saw online this year for Valentine's Day.....






















Obviously, I didn't accomplish any of them and sent boxed cards from the dollar store with tiny tattoos and gift bags stuffed with "smalls" from Oriental Trading and the candy aisle. I did however do my part in the class party at school...so there!

Linked: Workin' Mamas!

(if you are a regular reader, all 20 of you, this is going to be a random interruption of what I'm calling "Failure to Blog 2012" )
(this is me (the blonde in the white shirt/black sweater) and my family...
sister/BIL, mom & dad, my husband & our girls and my nephew)
and yes, this is the most recent photo I have of myself in any function...I spend most of my time behind the camera instead!


Hi. I'm Meghan... a working mom, whose work has made her a whole FOUR days late on joining in the Linky with Kelly! I spent the better part of last week out of town with work (a new development this year) so I'm a few days late and bit more scrambled to get this out and linked up! But, let's carry on...

Greetings from Southwest Georgia for any of you who find your way over!

I'm the mom of 2 girls (going on 2 & 4) and full-time working mama. (Meet my family here)  I've worked through both my pregnancies and through the first years of my girls' lives. I'm also the wife of a bi-vocational minister (which is fancy smancy talk for being the pastor's wife at a small church with a husband who also works outside of the church full-time as well). I'm an internet junkie by default (I blame it on facebook coming out while I was in college)... I love taking pictures, looking at other's photography, and mocking my hugely large mostly-functional, but ever-entertaining family dynamics, reading and sleeping whenever I get the opportunity to. I am not the best commentor on blogs that I read, but if I follow you, I'm reading every one of your posts, I just always feel weird commenting often when I don't have something specific to throw out toward the conversation)

Being a stay-at-home has crossed our discussions many times, both as a "dad role" and a "mom role" but for us in this season, bringing home 2 incomes is helping stabilize our family today and in the times to come (because who knows what God has planned for us next!). It can certainly be exhausting and stressful and require a lot of energy be spent away from our family, but we've both been blessed with pretty flexible bosses who let us off for all things related to our girls. We are also super blessed with a super large and super closeby family network that is able to help us with the running around and schedule arranging. Our daughters have never stayed anywhere except with family and an local in-home daycare, so they don't even know what a babysitter is!

When I'm doing better at blogging (which is obviously not the case for 2012), you'll find stories of my life, my girls, my family...southern culture, some Pinterest loves, and just general hooplah from my general direction. Check out the labels on the side of this page for my frequent content categories!

Thanks for coming, and let me know you stopped by!

quote it

“Grace is not about giving people what we want them to want.”

Read Full Story Here

love. that. line.

It is not our role to choose what we give and when we give and what the outcome is... it is our role to give to those who are needing...even if we don't agree with what they need for.

Speak It!

Love this: Read It Here

Sidenote: Saw Pricilla in person at .Mom...she is one of the most graceful ladies I've ever seen in my life...but she moves and speaks with power!

Maybe I should speak these as much over myself as I consider speaking them over my children.

I won, I won, I won!

Y'all...winning stuff is not my norm...except that one time, that my name was drawn in college for the Shoot for Tuition contest...which trust me, sounds as bad as it was... especially when you aren't a basketball player!

But, Mama M and her random generator super tool picked me to win a copy of Soul Surfer! (Y'all should know that Mama is the sponsor of 5 questions (see my participation here and here most recently)

And now I'm getting a DVD...in the mail... in however many days it takes to get from here to deep South Georgia!

Hoorah!
