The True Story Behind The Marvelous Mud House Q&A

March 23, 2022 //  by April Graney//  Leave a Comment

When you want to quit motherhood

August 8, 2018 //  by April Graney//  Leave a Comment

This is the hardest section of the blog for me to write. I don’t want to think about the difficult times. I don’t want to dig deep and be vulnerable. I don’t want to remember, I want to forget. But I know I need to talk about the struggle, and the growth and the healing that took place. I need to …

Drove up for the K State game against Texas Tech y Drove up for the K State game against Texas Tech yesterday! Definitely a LOT of fun and nOiSe! Loved having dinner with Micah and 3 of his friends afterward. (No pic, sadly). Totally worth the 10 hour round trip drive. Thanks to Austin Carpenter for the incredible seats. I'm spoiled now so I'll need those seats behind the team again next time.

Do you know him? Not just know about him. Do you t Do you know him? Not just know about him. Do you talk to Him? Do you seek him? Do you ask him how he wants you to live? I was reading Zephaniah with my 6th grade Bible class today. One of the verses describing those who were being judged says, "those who have turned back from following the Lord, who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him." Lots of people simply go through life without ever seeking to know and understand who God is, why he made them, or how he wants them to live. I feel so blessed to know my maker intimately. I'm not always perfect in following Him, but my heart is to try. He's given me complete love and acceptance, spiritual gifts to use to help others, forgiveness when I fail, strength when I am weak. He is my reason for hope and the source of my joy.

I hope you will seek him too. Just ask. He will begin revealing himself to you.
