Bumps Are Okay!

Life is not always easy. In fact, sometimes life is just plain bumpy and overwhelming. Life's 'bumps' (trials) are okay, though! In this blog, let's be encouraged to view life through the lens of the Bible and God's grace, while maneuvering the twists and turns of this extraordinarily bumpy life.

The blogs are written by a daughter and mother team:

ChOiCeS🤪

By: Debbie Christopher… At a recent graduation ceremony, the speaker made an interesting statement regarding choices—indeed, an appropriate topic for a graduation! Our grandson’s principal, Dr. Powers, stated, “The right choice is the best choice, a wrong choice is a bad choice, and…no choice is the worst choice.” The implications of this statement play right into two previous “Bumps are Okay” blog posts (Sharon’s recent ‘Pivot!!’ and my ‘Shoot the Ball’), so, I would like to

A Momma's Story of Faith and Foster Care

~By Sharon Czerwien I had something completely different that I was planning to post today. Just days ago, I changed my mind!

Generational Stages

~By Sharon Czerwien As I was beginning to reflect on this Mother's Day weekend, the idea of 'generations' came to mind. (Heads-up, this post is not nearly as 'light-hearted' as last year's post!) This weekend we celebrate the generational women in our lives. Yet for many, the celebration may come with pain or sadness. Before I really dive in, I wanted to mention the following. Whether you are a mother or not, you are absolutely an integral part of your family tree. Life would

Four Biblical Reminders from Two Children’s Shared Health Problems

~By Sharon Czerwien I wrote this article three months ago. I have finally decided to post it... While sitting in the same doctor’s office for consecutive appointments for both of my children, I have been in awe of the intricacies and internal workings in every person. I have learned much about “presenting problems” in patients. Presenting problems have nothing to do with bringing up/causing problems for another person. Medically-speaking, these presenting problems have everyt
