Malachi (17) is involved in a homeschool melodrama this winter. Tonight I get to leave all the littles behind with Daddy and big bros and be a full-on teenage mom for a few hours. I'll drive our York bunch to rehearsal, provide a hearty snack (for 25ish kids/adults), and "supervise" the cast because I hear they get rowdy, ha. (I've heard nothing of the sort.)

 

I'm hoping I'll get to see and hang out with a few other drama mamas, and I will be wearing my sweater that has baby snot smeared across the shoulder. (See also: jeans with mud at the bottom because of this morning's eight-year-old boot situation.)

 

Here's the "snack" I'm taking (I've been advised that they really need more of a meal because of the hunger level. Got it.).

• Coconut Flour Banana Muffins (gluten free/dairy free)
• Chocolate Chip Muffins
• Beanie Weanies
• Apples, pears, clementines, and applesauce cups
• 2 pounds of cut up cheese
• Crackers
• Pickles
• Juice

But goodness I do find it to be therapeutic. Praise God that I got to bake muffins today. It always helps me feel better - making food to feed people I love.

 

I've needed a lot of prayer and submission lately. Last week was hard. The enemy attacks were big. I'm fighting with prayer and seeking to put my trust fully in our Father who ALREADY WON THESE BATTLES. Every one of them. He already won. I believe, Lord. Help me to overcome my unbelief. 

 

God wins, His love is so, so big,
