Because everyone loves a good story
Snapshots of Thankfulness
As I looked back through the pictures I’d taken in 2021, I realized what a year it had been.–difficult, joyful, tiring, rewarding, and everything in between. But God’s hand was even more evident in hindsight, especially in the hard times.
Care to join me in a pictorial year-in-review?
Mom Guilt
Ah, parenthood–the hardest, most rewarding, hardest, most entertaining, hardest job I’ve ever done. Let’s face it, folks–raising little sinners is hard work for big sinners.
At times I find myself frustrated about how the day is going, and at those same times I wonder if I’ll regret my frustration when the kids are grown. Is there a solution to this conundrum? Read on for a scary (relatable) peek into my musings.
PWD Goes Tri-Weekly(ish)
Have you noticed that Past Watchful Dragons has been conspicuously missing from your inbox recently? Oops, sorry about that. Read on to discover why I’m officially (even if it’s temporarily) switching to tri-weekly blog posts.
Grace Like Manna
There are two types of people in the world: those who procrastinate and those who work ahead. Most of the time I am solidly in the second category. But you know what? Life doesn’t always work that way. And I’m learning that grace isn’t doled out in advance either.
An End and a Beginning
Praise the Lord: Eva is home!
It’s the end of one set of prayers and worries and the beginning of another. See what God is doing in the life of our tiny Sparrow!
When Spring Is Underground
Did you know we just passed the Vernal Equinox on March 20? Now the days will be getting longer and warmer. Praise the Lord! But where I’m at in Michigan, we still have some 20-degree nights in the forecast. That doesn’t seem too festive. It’s hard to celebrate spring when you’re shivering.
The same holds true when you pray for a miracle. See what God’s been up to in the life of my littlest love in the NICU.
My Double Life
Past Watchful Dragons has been MIA for a few weeks. Maybe life was busy enough that you didn’t notice, or maybe you sat sullenly staring at your screen, wondering when I’d return.
Well, I’ve returned, but things aren’t back to normal. If you’d like to know about the double life I’ve been leading, then read on, my friend. Read on.
