I could really use some prayers from my fellow Moms of Faith! As you may know, I was on a business trip the last week of January to help promote Moms of Faith and grow our social media contacts. The trip was a success. However, when I arrived home, I discovered my main computer was broke. It was fine when I left...not fine when I returned. :( This is a very big deal since EVERYTHING is on that computer... I had to download free trials of the software I use just to get by because all of the files and programs I use for Moms of Faith are on said computer. :( I researched what the possible issues could be, and then took it to Geek Squad with some knowledge already in my arsenal. It was the worst of the two main problems it could be...the motherboard is fried. In order to fix it I will need $300. Almost $200 + tax + shipping for part, and $50 to have Geek Squad install it. ACK! :( So, I could use some prayers. PLEASE pray that God not only … [Read more...]
Fear Much?
It is amazing how when you are on a journey with the Lord, you discover things about yourself that you really never thought could be an issue. I am not a very "fearful" person. Other than the normal "girly fears" of spiders and creepy crawler type things. I do not (or so I thought) have a lot that I fear. Recently, I realized just how wrong I was... Many of you, who have been long time readers, know my testimony and the sexual abuse that I endured most of my early childhood and then pre/teen years. Well, about 7 or 8 years ago, I laid all of it down, forgave in my heart and began the painful process of healing. Fast forward to this past July... I was contacted by someone from my past who sexually abused me several times. The contact was shocking. I had not spoken to this person in many years. Then, out of the blue, they send me around 25 emails. All of them saying almost the same thing. As if we were "close" in another life from long ago ... yet with a dark under current I … [Read more...]
My Birthday Post
My first edition of a new column I will be writing here; Lara's Point of View...what better way to start than with a birthday post?? This Friday (03/05/10) will be my birthday...which one? Well, let's not worry about details...LOL! Anyway, I have done a lot of reflecting and at the end of 2009 was mostly depressed at the place I am in life. Ungrateful? No. Unsatisfied? Maybe. Ready for Change? YES! I have spent far too much time wishing, hoping and wanting in my life. I feel like it is now a season of doing and accepting. That is a very hard place to come to for someone like me. I have really struggled with this. I am by no means even completely in agreement with what must be. LOL! However, I DO know without any doubt that I MUST accept the life I have been given and where I am at in this journey. If I do not do this then not only will I lose my mind, I will also leave my children with a poor legacy, and I will be unable to reach the women and Mothers of this world in … [Read more...]
