ABUNDANCE for the single, dating, engaged, & married
When I was four months pregnant with Rory, our 21 month old son was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. He underwent brain surgery to remove the tumor and then we were told that he would need to go through six rounds of high dose chemo. At the time, I had no idea where we would be when it was […]
I would like to share a journal entry from earlier this year. This was written a little less than a month after our 21 month old son was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. This was written after his brain surgery and during his first round of chemo. At the time he was not talking, walking, sitting up, eating orally, […]
January 16, 2016 I had just turned 22. I was experiencing a newfound sweetness in my relationship with God. I was living life with my best friends – my mom and sisters. I was nannying for a great family. I was living in my favorite state, California. I was single with no option in sight. I was grieving the loss […]
The other day someone came up and told me “I love seeing all your posts about your baby. You make motherhood look easy!” I responded, “I don’t know about easy, but I am convinced that it doesn’t have to be hard.” I am not entirely sure why, but even writing that is hard for me. Perhaps it is because I […]
Eliam arrived last month on July 15, 2018. My heart hurts with so much love for him. Unlike anything I have ever experienced before. People keep telling me to nap when he naps… but all I want to do is stare at him! How am I supposed to sleep when my perfect angel baby is the sweetest thing I’ve ever […]
Hi all! I’ve been MIA since I found out I was pregnant… almost 9 months ago… lol. So just want to hop back on here & give you all an update and summary of what my life pregnant has been like. 1st trimester – I felt great for an entire week after I found out I was pregnant. ha. I […]
First dates can be a hodgepodge of excitement, nerves, fears, hope, possibilities, & uncertainties – they are pretty much like an interview. I first want to say that there needn’t be ANY pressure on a first date. By the end of the date you don’t need to choose whether or not you’re going to marry the other person lol. It’s […]
Starting at age 14, there were a couple things that I just wouldn’t miss–new hallmark movies, a quiet moment to read a novel, and opportunities to hear someone’s love story. I was interested in it all. I loved hearing how two people met, what they did on their first date, and how long before they got married. More than these, […]
I believe that at the core of us girls is a longing to be loved by a man who would do anything for us. We long to be romanced… flowers on our doorstep, love notes waiting for us on the dash of our car, a gentleman who asks for your dad’s permission to take you out on your first date… […]
For as long as I can remember, I have always had the strong desire to be a wife & mamma– more than desires, those roles are callings of mine. For years and years I had prayed for my “future husband” and so longed for the day that I would marry my best friend and begin our life together. Here I […]
