shopping shopping

Ahhh! Here we go. Ok, let's start out by saying that I haven't gone to the mall in a while. In college, there was a point where I would avoid going to the mall on purpose (old school way of not shopping and being content). I figured that if I wasn't seeing all the pretty displays, I wouldn't know what I was missing or what was in style at the time. I used to be the girl who would go maybe 2-3 times a year and get a bundle of "good deals" each time spending $100-200.

Two days ago I was driving up our mountain and listening to a song. I was worshipping and singing along with it when I just felt the Spirit gently fall and I just responded with, “yea.” I knew that I had been praying and listening to Bible studies and being in a mindful spirit daily, but I hadn’t sat at the feet of my Father in all of the busyness of life. I don’t think I ever realized how much time flies until our community group started a book study and we had to read a certain amount every week. I would be shocked at how fast I fell behind and how much we were supposed to have read. Has it really been 4 weeks since I’ve ready anything? (About to get real)...

healthy living: water filtration

Do you really know what's in your water? Growing up, I never drank filtered water and rarely drank bottled water. What came out of our tap was fine for us. You may be one of the select few that remember that time as well, but for our children, they will most likely not have that memory. However, the few options commonly known to most people are not really helping anyone. They provide the illusion of good water, or if in a bottle, at what cost to the consumer or the environment?

life can be ugly: the story of my miscarriage

life can be ugly: the story of my miscarriage

Today is the day I’m going to talk about something that not many people are talking about, my miscarriage. Typically I hear things about people who have miscarried after they have had their miracle baby. They open up about how the journey to that baby was so long and difficult and freely discuss their challenges with how they got there. However, not many people are talking about it in the midst of the difficulty.

I had what’s considered a missed miscarriage. I was 11 weeks pregnant and there was never any bleeding or signs of miscarriage...
