I'm a Southern California Mother of three and Wife to a Software Engineer. I've got my hands full like a typical MOM, but the BLESSINGS are worth the CHAOS! I love to LAUGH, I'm committed to being HONEST, I'm trying to IMPROVE, and I hate doing LAUNDRY!!!!!!!!!!
You too?! Well then... Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home!

Rain and a new job! What a blessing of God’s provision. Praise Him!
Awesome picture!
My hubby just landed a new job after a very long, drawn out process too. God is so good and gives gifts like these at the perfect time (maybe not ours, but perfect none-the-less)!
I love the picture of the rain. Reminds me of the monsoon storms that we SHOULD be having a lot more of right now here in the AZ desert…
I’m a desert dweller also. Was curious to see if you lived in the same desert, but we are next to each other. I’m in Arizona but originally from Southern California.
There is nothing like rain in the desert after a long drought. There is nothing like blessings after a long spiritual drought.
Praising God with you for His blessings.
