The "Funny Farm" of the Cowles family.
I've been in this box of grief for so long that I began to feel myself detach from others, and I've been just trying to survive the days. I've struggled to see the Lord working in my life or anything around me, even though I could speak words of comfort to others around me. It… Continue reading Share the Burden
In June, I found out my youngest threw away her art pieces... in the school dumpster!!!... on the last day of school. I was not happy! She said they "weren't good". I told her that "I deem what is good". She just smirked at me and I said her full name and shook my head. … Continue reading See Yourself Through My Eyes

T and S, Did you know mom had a life before you? No seriously! I can hardly imagine my life without you girls now, but I went to school, had parents and a sister who loved me to the moon and back, had a curfew, had a few (sorry Daddy) car crashes, had boyfriends, and… Continue reading Invisible
