Don’t Wait ‘Til You’re Perfect

Until today, I’d always seen Sarah (Abraham’s wife) in such a perfect light.  When I thought of her, a perfect woman came to mind….and of course the words “Mother of Nations”.  Rightly so, because this is the woman that God chose amongst them all to bear the nation of God, Abraham and Sarah were the first Israelites, the entire nation…

Thought #5 (30 Thoughts Before 30) Our 5 year old daughter, Kumi is such an independent child.  I know parents wish for their kids to be independent but I really find myself struggling a lot of times with her because I feel like she is too independent (is there even such a thing?).
