90 Day Challenge
Remember a few months ago I posted about how my church does a 90 day challenge. Well we are starting another one. My friend Sarah and I are going to do this one together. We both are busy individuals but we are going to email each other so that we can keep each other accountable. (FYI - I love Sarah. Her and I have been friends since 6th grade. She has a strong faith and has always been there for me.)
If you are interested in participating in the 90 day challenge click

Last but not least ... Momma at
Momma Needs a Time Out is hosting a giveaway. I really really want it. The rules of her giveaway are to post something about your Mom in honor of Mother's Day.
Boy oh Boy could I post a ton about my mom. I love my Mom. She is amazing, strong, loving, and a really great friend. As a teenager I didn't ever think I would say those things about my Mother. We were not exactly close. I was closer to my dad. But when my dad left we clung to each other. Matthew was a baby and Michael and Mark were still so young. I leaned on my Mom for strength. She was my shoulder to cry on. Now that I am a older I am finding out more about the time following my dad leaving. My Mom told me that she had $8 a week to buy groceries for the family. Our house was in foreclosure since my father cleared out all our bank accounts and my Mom was on maternity leave. She never let us know. I didn't know how bad things were. My Mom is the strongest woman I know. I hope that I am as good of a mother as my Mom is.
I love you Mom!!
Well that is it for tonight.
Walk in His Strength
