How Far Along are You Now?
I am currently 21 weeks along, which is just one week past the halfway point! I was ecstatic when I hit the 20 week mark, knowing that we are just 5 months away from meeting our little girl! She is currently 10 1/2 inches long (which is roughly the length of a large carrot) and weighs about 12 ounces!
How Are You Feeling?
Overall I am feeling great! I have heard that the second trimester is called the honeymoon phase and I now I know why! The second trimester is...
Just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. - Romans 5:19
Throughout scripture, we read accounts of how people’s obedience effected not only their own lives but often an entire nation. The greatest example of this is Jesus himself. Christ’s obedience to death on the cross made a way for us to be called children of God. Likewise, our choices can have a lasting impact on both our own...
Being that it is currently January, I know that the nature of this topic may not be the most popular. After all, isn’t January supposed to be the month of New Year New You, which all begins with the latest fad diet!?

God taught my husband and I so many things in the season of waiting, and I want to share it with all of you...Because so often throughout life we are...
Step 1: Do a Clean Sweep of Your Kitchen!
The goal of cleaning out and organizing your pantry is to get rid of tempting foods that aren't good for your health, and replace them with nutritious foods that are well organized, which will make cooking and baking a breeze!
Focus on getting rid of processed foods, starting with foods that are made with white flour and sugar. Replace these items with “Clean, Whole, Unprocessed” Foods.
Here are some great swap outs to get you on your way to a clean...
“She’s fat.”
Writing those words even now feels like a fresh wound. They were words I overheard spoken by a girl with whom I attended high school and with whom I had previously been best friends. She uttered them to a mutual friend of ours not knowing I was just a few steps away and could overhear. Only, that evening, I didn’t just overhear them. The moment those words crossed her lips I took ownership of them, put them on and wore them as my identity. The truth is, they were just one more...
When someone has decided to start living a healthy lifestyle, I always suggest making small changes over time in order to develop new healthy habits that will stick. One of the first places I suggest when it comes to cleaning out the pantry and fridge is to get rid of everything that has white sugar and white flour in it. There are so many reasons that white flour and sugar are bad for your health, and I highly suggest you do some research for yourself if you don't already know why that is....
Diets. Don't. Work. We have all heard the phrase, yet so many people find themselves going back to the quick fix solutions that didn't work in the past! I always say, if you can't stick with it long term, you already know it is doomed for failure. So...If diets don't work, what will!?!
