This week I had an extremely frustrating moment with one of my children while helping with the math lesson. It didn’t make sense why they couldn’t understand the concept of the question.

Can You Be Sad and Still Trust God

Imperfectly Pollyanna - February 02, 2022 16:00 - 19 minutes ★★★★★ - 42 ratings
I don’t really know where to begin today. I would say it’s kinda funny but it’s not really. Crazy, maybe? Scary? I don’t know.

Imperfectly Pollyanna - December 15, 2021 17:51 - 20 minutes ★★★★★ - 42 ratings
One of my biggest pet peeves is laziness. Don’t get me wrong, I have my fair share of lazy moments.

I want to ask you something. Something that I want to truly challenge you to think about before answering… When you think about your kids, what is the line that you won’t allow anyone to cross in order to protect them? Do you have an obvious blanket answer like “I won’t allow anyone to physical...
