Developing a pattern of prayer with 365 Pocket Morning Prayers
Morning devotionals are a great way to get before God on a daily basis. I personally have not developed a pattern of prayer to Father God in the morning because I do not know about you, but I have let the cares of this world stir my focus on the problems instead of in the Problem Solver. Developing a pattern of prayer with 365 Pocket Morning Prayers 365 Pocket Morning Prayers, by Dave Veerman, focuses on a different topic each day, a prayer and scripture. I have learned that praying the Word and in faith is what produces results. These prayers are based upon the Word and are short and…

Live on Forever The Afters CD Review #Flyby
Things are more and more challenging living in this world and you have to hold on to someone and for me that is Father God. He actually holds on to me, because quite frankly with some of my actions and decisions, I clearly wasn’t holding on to Him. He manages to speak to people many ways and for me sometimes it is through music. In particular, one group I have recently been following is The Afters. First exposure to this group was the song, Light up the Sky and I have been in like since that album and they are back now with a new release called Live On Forever. My favorite…

Movie Review: The Reconciler
Eerie music in the background. Two men trapped in a room with no way out. One is awake and one is dead or is he? From the start of the movie to the end you do want to miss what happens.

Hale Fertility Journey Month 2
Waiting is the hardest part for me. Waiting to see what is on the other side of that door. Waiting to see if it is all going to be worth it sooner than later. I do not doubt so much if but it is when, but it has got to happen soon Father God. I do not know how much more we can take. Is this the month?

The Life We Never Expected Book Review and Giveaway
Being in the field that I am (assisting those with disabilities/challenges to work), I am able to see all types of productive and loving individuals caring for their friends and loved ones when they come in the office. At this point, however I do not see a lot of the behind the scenes interaction of the guardians/parents with their special needs child or children. I get to see them once they are grown or almost grown and depending on the disability I can imagine what the caretakers had to go through, but only a glimpse of it. Andrew and Rachel Wilson share with us in The Life We Never Expected,…

Unashamed Book Review and Giveaway
Watching from the side, I saw her mouth move to form, “Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for saying that Mommy”. My friend had said something very nasty to her mom and her mom forgave her, but had she forgiven herself? Years later she still manages to tell me the story and began to ask her about how she is feeling about it, because it seemed to me that she was holding on to guilt and shame. This incident lingering on for years like that is truly a sign of it, but sometimes we just overlook it as being normal. Heather Davis Nelson, the wonderful author of Un-ASHAMED:…

Walk it off Now Challenge and Giveaway
Join Me and Many Others In The Walk It Off Now Challenge! A lot of us had as a new year’s resolution to lose weight and eat better. To be quite honest, I have not done all that great with either one, how about you? I had unrealistic goals instead of little goals and work my way up to the more challenging ones. For example, anyone who knows me knows I love sweets so instead of cutting them out all together, I should have reduced the amount first and then worked my way down to next to nothing. So what happened? I failed and almost gave up and started beating…
