I was reveling in the blessing of several things yesterday, so I thought I’d share of them today. These are a few of my favorite things right now… My new ovens. If you’d seen my last oven, you’d be rejoicing with me. It was about 40 years old and a fraction of the the size…
We sat talking about the challenges of motherhood and even our shared experience of visiting the depths of despair that debilitates. It was one of those conversations in which the Lord held a mirror up for me to see when I doubt who He really is, of the power He offers to work through my…
Welcome! We are finally in our new home and are getting settled. The “settling” is truly my favorite part. I love being at home and making a home. The most exciting aspect of this move is that it is actually mine. We have moved eight times in eight years and this is the first house…
I don’t think I’ve ever had a year with as much transition as this year holds. I’ve been MIA from the blog world lately, so I thought I’d share a little of why…life is both exciting and exhausting right now! Here are just a few of the transitions happening in the Tarr family this year:…
I’ve always stiffened when I hear talk of having a “quiet time,” with the Lord and how it’s the most important part of our day. Most often when I’ve heard it mentioned, it’s emphasized that we can’t function without that hour in the morning before our day begins. It’s not because I don’t think it’s…
“Jesus I can’t be a mom today unless you show up. I have no reserves and feel totally inadequate to meet the demands placed on me already today. Please come!!” Part of a text sent to a confidant yesterday, I began my day feeling my total depravity and need for the Lord to move…
I am guest posting over at WOG Magazine today…what a sweet, humbling opportunity! By the way…here’s the song I reference in the article. Go to 37:27 minutes into it (sorry, this is the best version and it’s the only way I could find it). Although, the entire album will minister to you, as you minister…
Normally, I love telling Blane funny stories of things the kids say or during the day while he’s gone, but for the past several months, Tara has probably reported to him the equal amount of mommyisms to him. I don’t know what’s happening to me, but I just can’t speak correctly anymore. And my driving…
Fact: water tastes a little “off” to me during the first trimester of pregnancy. Can anyone relate? The hard part is that I need to be consuming even more liquids than normal, and am perpetually behind. I’m sure this is part of the reason I am susceptible to migraines during this time. Because I have…
Not much is getting down around my house these days. I am in full-swing of first trimester yuck (almost 10 weeks! Praying for a heartbeat this Saturday at my first appointment). So, I am reading, listening to messages, and playing with my kids a lot. I’ve lots of time to think and pray. I wanted…
Come as close as You want, Consume this heart that longs to burn I know Your fire can hurt, But I would be worse here without You For I was made to dwell with You, And how I ache until I do Holy God, Take my heart, Purge with flame and truth! Holy heart is…
“I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction and out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. And he put a new song in my mouth, a song of…
