Whole Mama<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The irony behind the name of this blog is that I am rarely, if ever, a whole mama.\u00a0 Depending on the time of day or the particular phase of the moon, I can be anywhere from a one-half, one-fourth, to even a one-twentieth, but hardly ever what one could call \u2018whole.\u2019\u00a0 But I long for it all the same\u2026<\/p>\n
As the daughter of a neo-Puritan Presbyterian and a Baptist southern belle, I often find the idea of wholeness as elusive as a pair of flattering jeans.\u00a0 What, exactly, does it mean to be whole?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n
What I do know is that I\u2019ve spent a \u2018whole\u2019 lot of years (ha), like the (roughly paraphrased) song says, looking for \u2018wholeness\u2019 in all the wrong places. After doing so, I\u2019m convinced more than ever that the answer to that question lies smack in the middle of a relationship with the living God.\u00a0 My quest for wholeness, for joy, for God Himself, and for passing on to my precious children a real, vibrant, authentic faith that is more than empty rhetoric is what this blog is all about.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
