It took me a while to get this post written. Not because I was afraid to share what the Lord taught me through the nine months of carrying our second son. But because I didn’t know how to put all that He taught me and how He grew me during that time into just one post. So I decided to put it into one topic or phrase. He is faithful. God is faithful through it all. He was faithful at the beginning of my pregnancy. He was faithful through the trials and difficulties of carrying my baby. And He was…

God is the creator of all things. He made so much for our benefit and to help support us when we need it most. One of those things are essential oils. No, God did not bottle the essential oils that you buy. But He did create the plant, bark, seed, fruit, or flower that it is derived from. And He created those things to hold special properties to help us support our emotions, boost our immune systems, heal our pains, and so much more. We can use essential oils for so many wonderful things. And we can know that they…

I know how hard a busy season of life can be. Your life may be full but it’s so easy to let so many things slide. It’s a time when you start to decide what is important and necessary to you. One of the things that tends to be put to the backburner during times like these is studying the Bible. And I have been guilty of this. I keep pushing my quiet time back to the end of the day and then either forget to do it or something else comes up. So how can you prioritize studying your…

You can read all the books, take all the classes, and watch all the videos. But you’ll never be prepared to give birth if this is your first time. Right now I am pregnant with our second. And during my first pregnancy I did all those things. I knew everything that had to do with the physical aspect of giving birth. All of that is so good to know and I’m definitely not telling you to not do your research in those areas! But what I believe is more important than knowing about the physical side to birth is knowing…

For me it has been important to keep my pregnancy as natural as possible and do things that will support my body through this time. I did a lot of research during my first pregnancy and incorporated many things through both that have helped me tremendously. And, from many requests, I have finally put together a list of pregnancy must haves for the natural mamas. So whether this…
