*I’m taking a quick break from posting old miscarriage blogs in honor of Autism Awareness Month. Spread the love! 🥰 “My son has autism.” It was quite the (internal) journey for me to get to the place where I could say those words out loud and not just accept them, but embrace them. I kind...

Throwback ❤️ I watched you laughing at yourself in the mirror and I wanted to cry tears of joy. You were so amazed that this person staring back at you could clap and wave and reach his arms way up high. Mommy was amazed too. Amazed and grateful God has given me this opportunity to...

The wisdom-rich book of Proverbs concludes with a picture of a Godly woman. If we as women desire a role model to strive after, we can find one in verses 10-31.
