Have you heard the buzz? There are 5 Bees that can help you bee the mom you want to be! BEE STILL (are you kidding?) Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Psalm 4:4 Bee still! That’s a B that we often miss. We’re so busy we’re never still. And if we are, it’s when we fall into bed at night and drop off to sleep.

Simple Mentoring – You Can Do It!
Do you have that “older woman” who touches your life deeply, without much fan fare or notice to the rest of the world? I remember her well; her name was Connie. She was the “older women” in our women’s group at the small church I attended in West Virginia over a dozen years ago. Older meant she was in her late 40’s, while the rest of us were in our 20’s and 30’s. Older meant that she had teen children, while we had babies and toddlers. Older meant that because she wasn’t in constant “mom motion” she was able to …
3 Smart Moves to Start Your Day
Smart Move 1: Get on Your Knees with Your Bible Open Before You. Not only will this smart move keep you limber, it will also open your mind to an outside help and source: God. Bow before Him. Acknowledge to your Heavenly Father, “I love You and want to live for You today.” Pray, “Fill me with Your Spirit and mind.” Place your little one on the floor beside you. It will teach them the smart move of starting their day in prayer before God. Smart Move 2: Turn on Christian Music. You’re making a wise choice when you …
Are you an Angela? Can you mentor?
Written by Heather Riggleman, Author of Mama Needs A Time Out Several years ago, a girl wandered into an old downtown theater. She had been beaten down in life by poor choices and circumstances. Her young daughter and husband were threads holding her together and even then, it wasn’t enough to keep her from trying it end all again. But something had happened a few weeks before; in an emergency room as she was strapped to a hospital bed where she heard the voice of God. Since then she had been searching to encounter him again. The front had been converted …
She is Hurting How to Help
You know her. She is the one who wants more children, but can’t. Her child was diagnosed with something that may change his life forever. She is the mom agonizing over how to train-up her child when her home feels like a war-zone. She’s the woman whose mom abandoned her and she wants to do better, but is struggling to figure out how. And you want to help her. You want to help carry her burdens and encourage her. But it is hard. You don’t want to say the wrong thing – add fire to the pain inside. How do …
How To Find A Mentor
Over the years I have received letters, and have heard young women express, that they have a hard time finding older women who will take the time to spend time/mentor them. I understand where these women are coming from. For years I was in that very situation. I longed for someone to take on that role and found that many older women were too busy or didn’t understand their role biblically. As I look back, I can see how God provided mentors for me in different ways. It wasn’t always in the way I would have liked, but I …
