Can You Trust God to be Your Pilot?

Latte with The Queen Mommy

I’ve seen the keychain that says “God is my Co-pilot” which is supposed to be another way of saying God is with us in all things.  Sometimes we try to KEEP Him in the co-pilot seat.  But the truth is – no matter how much we WANT to control our destiny – in fact –… read more »

Change is Good

Latte with The Queen Mommy

I am NOT always happy when Change comes rolling around.  I like to MAKE plans and KEEP plans…  But one thing I’ve learned this past year – in a new way – is that CHANGE IS GOOD.  We’ve had a  LOT of changes to deal with – and we did not always respond well, but… read more »

Even the sparrows

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Last night Curly and I picked up some Chinese for supper.  Our local Chinese restaurant makes the BEST fried dumplings – and we all enjoyed a fun supper at home.  But while we were getting back into the car, I noticed a dead sparrow on the ground.  I pointed it out to Curly and said… read more »

Motherhood’s Journey

Latte with The Queen Mommy

We often talk about how quickly children grow and change.  We measure their height with pencil marks on a doorframe.  We chart their first years of life in a baby book or on calendars.  We note accomplishments and scrapbook their successes. But how often do we journal our own growth, effort, accomplishments, and successes as… read more »

To Tell The Truth

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Have you ever played the game Scattergories?  The idea is to answer category blanks with the letter rolled on the hugemongous die that comes with the game.  I always liked the category “Game” when the letter “T” was rolled – “To Tell the Truth” was a game show from an earlier decade and it was… read more »

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Today is “Compliment Your Mirror Day.”  Huh.   Have you ever complimented your mirror?  You know – for how beautifully it reflects light, deflects dust, and does NOT add 10 lbs to your body… No, I don’t think that’s what today is all about.  I think today is about looking in the mirror and thanking God… read more »

Adjustments are Required

Latte with The Queen Mommy

So this has been an interesting week!  A couple of doctor’s appointments, Tball practice & game (4th week, actually), and my laptop died!  ACK!  I’ve been working toward a daily schedule and adjustments ARE required! In fact, I woke up to a sink full of dirty dishes today because we spent the evening at 4H… read more »

The Firstborn Son

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Currently, I’m a stay at home wife & mom.  I often say that I’m the mom of three – 2 girls, 1 son.  And that is correct.  I am raising 3 children with my husband. But my firstborn son, much like Little Moses in the Bible, was only mine for a moment, and was given… read more »

Effecting Change

Latte with The Queen Mommy

This week has seen a lot of changes for us.  Curly’s first full week home from school.  I decided not to plan too much knowing we all needed to take time to adjust and get into a new routine.  I’m great with WANTING routines, but pretty bad at implementing them…  So, I’ve been thinking about… read more »
