hymningandhaing

by Anna Ortiz Spencer

A funny thing happened on the way to MY life…God stepped in. Today I am a stay-at-home mother of two… and did I mention that I’m also a pastor’s wife!

  7. Graduation Speeches Are So Long (But Maybe It’s a Good Thing)

    Twenty plus years later, I can still see the faces of those who spoke at my high school graduation ceremony, but what they said is a complete blur. Classmates, community leaders, administrators…their mouths were moving, but I have no idea what they spoke of that day.

  8. Shout Out to Other Mothers (THANK YOU!)

    Happy, happy Mother’s Day ❤️

  9. hymningandhaing (The Title Explained)

    Not that anyone has ever asked, but I thought that maybe I should explain (just in case the thought ever crossed your mind)…why hymningandhaing? If it sounds familiar and looks horribly misspelled, then you’re right on both accounts.

  10. February is the Longest Month
