Faith and Family: Overcoming my late-in-life pregnancy fears
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2015/08/overcoming-my-late-in-life-pregnancy.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Overcoming my late-in-life pregnancy fears. So, I'm probably about to have blog-rrhea. There was so much I wanted to write while pregnant, and the truth is.I was terrified to put my thoughts into writing during those months. It was one of the most fearful seasons of my life. I would lose the baby. Something serious was wrong with the baby. Of our home sale falling apart. That putting my kids back in public school was the wrong decision. We wouldn't be able to afford another child.

Faith and Family: August 2014
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2014. Three ways to show LOVE. Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. If God is LOVE, I learn from Him how to display love. If I meditate on how He first loved me, I realize so much more about love. So, if we strive to show LOVE to others, we share with them the LOVE that God gave us personally. Here are three ways based on my personal knowledge of God to shower LOVE on each other:. We need to set down our expectat...

Faith and Family: June 2014
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. God's ways don't always mirror ours. This morning I woke up before 5 am If you know me, this is highly suspect! I am NOT a morning person. I'm more likely to stay up until well after midnight writing, editing or reading than I am to get up before 6 am. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5, NKJV. On Saturday, we held our first official fundraiser for Mighty Strong Girls. Some might say it was a flop. We raised $388. It's no coinc...

Faith and Family: February 2014
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 3, 2014. My take on Coca-Cola. Sometimes I like to stick my neck out there and offer an opinion when there's a controversy. Other times, I open my mouth when I should have kept it shut. And still others, I keep quiet when I should say something. I am trying harder to lean on God when it comes to these matters, but I cannot help but notice and speak up about the Coca-Cola advertising controversy. He further called this ad "truly disturbing.". So ingrained are the messages of our society t...

Faith and Family: New Year, New YOU!
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-year-new-you.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. New Year, New YOU! Well, that's a deceiving title. I don't know if there will be a NEW YOU in 2015, but I do know there will be a NEW ME! Yet, I was afraid to write down a thing. Because, you see, 2013 started on a very positive note. And it just got worse and worse until it ended in what seemed like an abyss of darkness. I could hardly bear the thought of writing out goals and starting out a positive note when so much "could" go wrong. It also helps me remember that the accomp...

Thursday, September 25, 2014. Three ways to lessen fear. You know what's really beautiful about fear? Perfect love casts it out. The theme of my blog post this week is about fear.

Faith and Family: July 2014
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2014. Why I gave up coffee. I started a new journey to better health about six months ago after another emotional meeting with my physician, but I hesitated to write about it as I began because I wasn't exactly sure about what I was doing and whether it was "right.". As such, many women I know are struggling for answers to complicated and painful health issues. I hope by writing about what has worked for me, it might be of use to someone! According to researchers at the Harvard School ...

Faith and Family: January 2014
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. All men are big, fierce, unafraid, cocky, athletic and think about sexy, half-naked women whose bodies are the only thing they are interested in. This is the predominant message your children might receive if they tune in with the other 108 million people watching the Superbowl on Sunday. It's the biggest sporting event of the year and close to the most televised event of the year. THE MESSAGES ARE CLEAR, LOUD AND STRONG. The truth is I'm usually too tired or busy to watch more ...

Faith and Family: The long awaited sonogram didn't provide the answers we were hoping for!
http://faithandfamilyinspirations.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-long-awaited-sonogram-didnt-provide.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The long awaited sonogram didn't provide the answers we were hoping for! I wasn't prepared for this. Well, maybe a little. And then the unthinkable happened. Six weeks shy of my 41st birthday I discovered that the two missed periods weren't symptomatic of pre-menapause. Or some fluke. Immediately, my doctor sprung into action. Blood test in the next three hours. Immediate appointment. She even came in at 8 am on the first morning of her week off to see me. Speaking of the baby's ...
