A Season of Unrest...what do I do, Lord?
You can feel the uncertainty in everyone's eyes, and the sense of insecurity can be felt in what used to be deemed the most stable any level of society, from jobs to churches, even in our schools. The reality of COVID continues to wrap its arms around like an amoeba's pseudopod engulfs its food...

Peace! On Earth?
The new year has barely started. The decorations have been put away, and we have closed the door on a year most of us are glad to see end. Exactly one year ago, we had no idea what 2020 had in store for us, any more than we currently know what this year will bring....
Being Thankful
There are so many things to be thankful for. Turn to God and His word during those times when you want to be a whiner, crier, and complainer. Jesus died for our sins and NEVER complained. What are you thankful for?...
A Culture of Character
By highlighting character traits such as kindness, patience, and honesty, we can also emphasize the work of The Holy Spirit in the hearts of our children. We can rejoice in the evidence of God’s redemption and sanctification in their lives! ...
“I Can’t Get No Satisfaction”… or Can I?
Do I seek satisfaction in who people think that I am? Some may think who we are is synonymous with our occupation. There is a desire to be successful in what one finds themselves doing. But even more than that, there is that innate drive to be better than someone else. The drive to be the best secretary, teacher, mom, interior decorator, doctor, lawyer, electrician, mechanic, welder, nurse… only to gain nods of approval....
A Million Dollars or a Penny?
What are you putting off? If you are like me, multiple topics come to mind. So, seek the Spirit’s guidance on what to start today; get into the Word for help in defeating temptations; remember “little is much when God is in it.”...
Busyness of Life
I was often asked, “How are you guys doing with virtual learning?” or “How have you handled all being stuck inside and being forced to slow down?” I’ll be honest, at first, it was extremely hard. ...
It's Time to Peek!
Things are changing all around us, the darkness is visible. When I was a kid, and I felt scared or alone, I would shut my eyes to hide from the dark. I would close them tightly as if my closed eyes made the entire world disappear. The problem was, the darkness only enhanced my fears, in fact, it made me feel more anxious and alone. I quickly learned to rely on my imagination...
Bring it On!
As we sit in the middle of this tumultuous year, we wonder if it’s ever going to end. Even more, we wonder what God has in store with all He has allowed us to endure this year. Rest assured...
Why Kids Need to See their Parents Serve
As it relates to the home, I think perhaps one of the adages that most proves itself prophetic over time is the following ... “Children become like their parents”. As a matter of fact, as the years pass by and I see old faces from the past who I haven’t seen for a long time, that is often a point of emphasis for them ... “You are looking more and more like your dad!” or “Wow, you remind me so much of your father!” Although this truth is not likely going to excite our children while they are young enough to still live at home, it is unlikely a truth that they will be able to avoid. ...
Finding Time For Your Child When You Have No Time
This statement 'Finding Time For Your Child When You Have No Time " just can not be true. We all have 24 hours in a day. It's our choice what we do with our time, and who among us, does not make time for what is important to us! Before I really get into this, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a mother of two children and a wife of a wonderful man. God blessed us ...
Keep ReadingWars Faced as a Working Mom
Wars Faced as a Working Mom We are at war. I'm not talking about our spirit warring against the flesh. Yes, there is a necessity to see this world for what it truly is and the daily battle we face as Christians. Unfortunately, I am referring to another kind of 'war'. You may have heard of it: "Mom Wars". You may have seen it in action; the commercials depicting the diffe...
Keep ReadingWHY CHANGE IS...GOOD?
Why Change isGOOD? "Changes are coming!" This phrase often strikes fear into the hearts of many, and perhaps, rightly so. Hearing this phrase from a CEO could indicate job cuts or reduction in salaries for employees. Hearing this phrase from a church pastor could cause tension in the congregation, and may even move members to utter the counter phrase, "But we've never don...
Keep ReadingWHY I BECAME A PRESCHOOL TEACHER
"For I know the plans I have for you declares The Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 If someone had told me 5 years ago that I would be sitting here writing a blog on why I became a preschool teacher I would have laughed in their face. Becoming a teacher was not in the plans that I had made for my future....
Keep ReadingAfter School Care is SO MUCH MORE than Babysitting
After School Care is SO MUCH MORE Than Babysitting When I was growing up, children didn't go to After School Care- just about everyone's mother was a stay-at-home Mom. We simply walked home when school was over, where Mom had our snack waiting for us. A lot has changed since then. Schools aren't built in neighborhoods anymore and traffic has increased so much that walkin...

By the time most commuters begin their morning routines, Triad's Kids Kafe staff has already served preschoolers breakfast - and that's just the warm-up. The opening of the church's Worship Center/Gym last June and its large commercial kitchen, walk-in refrigerators, freezers and other equipment made Kids Kafe possible and brought food service entirely in house.Whether it...

Controversy is one of the hardships that come with being a Christian. Unfortunately, it also encompasses the majority of the field of science. We are told in James that "the trying of our faith brings forth patience," and this does not exclude controversial topics of science. One of the most familiar controversies in science is the theory of evolution. As Christians, we k...
