It’s true, I have many roles or a full plate as one might say. I am a wife, mother of 10 (three of which still live at home), homeschool mom, entrepreneur and a Mawmaw. Though I would not give up any of these roles, I must admit being me is not easy. By nature, IContinue reading “Consistency Is Key”

I Have A Friend In Him
My husband is my best friend. Even now, as I go through my day, it is him I think of. When we meet opposition we will often say to one another “May no weapon formed against us prosper”.
Your Brother’s Keeper
One of my husband’s greatest desires when we started our family was that our children be close. What did that mean exactly? Though I was not sure exactly what “he” meant, I knew what it meant to me. I am one of four children. My mother had two boys and two girls. One of myContinue reading “Your Brother’s Keeper”
I See, Hear and Love YOU, Too!
Children of large families can sometimes feel lost in conversations of past events, vacations or just of times gone by with older siblings. They can feel lonely at times even in the midst of many others living in the home. I have heard from people who had many siblings that the older children were responsibleContinue reading “I See, Hear and Love YOU, Too!”
Pulling Weeds Is A Must
This month I launched a bible study series, “Proverbs 31 Woman-She Lives In YOU!” It’s a three part, online series. We meet once a month in June, July and August via ZOOM. In between those meetings, I send inspiration and encouragement to the participants to promote spiritual growth individually and collectively. In our first sessionContinue reading “Pulling Weeds Is A Must”
Summer Is For Serving Others
Volunteering has always been something our children do in the Summer. They have helped at our local library, assisted with sports camps and even cleaned our neighborhood. This year our sons participated in a very special camp, SOAL (Serving One Another in Love). SOAL is a camp that the student minister at our church startedContinue reading “Summer Is For Serving Others”
Made to Flourish
My journey with the Lord has revealed that I was made to flourish! One of my favorite past times is gardening, indoor and outdoor gardening. I liken myself unto a perennial. I’ve been planted on purpose, with purpose. One might say my life began in unplanned and to some,unpardonable circumstances. I was born in NYContinue reading “Made to Flourish”
It’s My Pleasure!
Every Sunday is “family dinner” at the Bowie home. To make it possible, we avoid commitments that would take us away from home on Sunday evening. This is a tradition that I was fond of as a child and I greatly desired to have it be a part our family legacy. Though we would goContinue reading “It’s My Pleasure!”
My First Love
Though I had lived, been loved and even demonstrated love to others, I really did not know love until I came to know Jesus for myself. As I engaged in a relationship with the Lord, I realized God to be “my first love”. He created me with purpose, on purpose. He knew me in myContinue reading “My First Love”
Winter Wonders-Homeschooling through the Winter Months
I’ve been homeschooling for over 24 years and it is still difficult to press through the winter months, especially with boys. The days are shorter, so there’s not much time left in your day after schooling. No matter where you live in the United States the winter months bring on lower temperatures, especially in theContinue reading “Winter Wonders-Homeschooling through the Winter Months”
