A woman makes a home. And home becomes her. From home, a legacy begins. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. Proverbs 31:16 A woman plants a home and pours her entire being into it. We are her vineyard, vines, watered with her prayers, faith and living…

From Where I Sit
Walking down the road, having an elevator chat with myself about Window Seat Faith. It’s a Christian blog, yes, but it far more than that. I’m sharing my life journey, which has universal pathways connecting people with family, motherhood, marriage, hope, nature, art, positive energy, inner light and a connection to the love of Jesus…
What Mothers Do
Sometimes all I can do is silently cheer for my kids on the sideline. Sometimes no words come out when I pray and I simply have to trust that God know my heart. There are many times when it’s by faith and faith alone that I see that everything will be alright. “It’s a good…
You Better Know the Girl
A bit of self reflection — Donna Haynes the faith walker; the faith-leaper. When she’s not walking, leaping or running a victory lap, you might find her crawling. After all, no one said walking the walk was easy. Donna took her first leap of faith in her mid 20s. She was a 20 Something Chick…
Life Pulse via Text
I send my kids texts all the time. We argue via text. I encourage via text. I lecture via text. We have on-going jokes via texts. I send them articles from eBlasts, LinkedIn, FB… I have an urgency to stoke the lifeline. I’m thankful for the connection. I sent my son a screen shot from…

I’m not an overachiever with a productivity tracking chart or goals checklist. I sort of take life as it comes and my day to…
My Daughter’s Power Lunch
The Prelude to Lunch: Getting dressed for work is low drama for for me. I always feel like I should probably put more thought or prep into it. But, that thought passes and I sort of do a fireman thing — grabbing favorites from the closet and jumping into the day. In fact, my shower…
What’s for Dinner…
Opening up a writing page on my blog spot, is like looking in the fridge and asking, “what should I make for dinner.” My blinking curser, like looking in my fridge at 8 PM. Sometimes I have the ingredients and gumption to create the most amazing dinner. So amazing and such a favorite with my…
I’m the First Responder
Motherhood is my hardest job. Most days, my 9 to 5 is a walk in the park — literally and figuratively. Motherhood, on the other hand, demands something of me that makes me sit up straight; walk tall. Rarely do I or can I slouch. Sure I kick back, I enjoy my kids and have…
Writing is My Shout
“When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.” Joshua 6:5 I’m believing God for so much right now. I know it’s not just me; you’re probably trusting…
