Why didn't Mom tell me how bad this thing called menopause could get?! Hmm...probably because she went through the process of it relevantly smooth. Mom just had a few bad headaches, (to my recollection). And she had her last cycle at the age of 44. Well of course, I thought I would follow suit and inherit her good fortune. Wrong!! I did however put an end to my heavy cycles since my OB/GYN performed the oblation. And thank God for small favors!! Since the beginning of March, I am cycle free. Yeah! But wait, it's not all coming up roses for me now, far from it! I'm experiencing the effects of menopause in the worst way. The hot flashes I can handle. Don't get me wrong; they are NOT fun. LOL. However, it's the depression and anxiety that I'm having major issues with. Some days it's hard to just get out of bed, and there are those days that I get up early, do my workout, and feel awesome afterwards, and usually my days go (for the most part) well. Today is a bad day. As I woke up, I did … [Read more...]

How Can a Busy Mom “Pray Without Ceasing?”
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. - Ephesians 5: 16-18 God wants us to never stop praying - that part is easy to understand. But many women aren't exactly sure what that looks like. I remember hearing the term 'keep an attitude of prayer" and wondering what in the world that meant. It was during a study I did on prayer that I finally understood. God wants us to be mindful of Him, conscience that He's there. He wants us to talk with Him all day long. Not just about our problems, although He is there to help. He wants us to share our joys and gratitude, and to intercede for others. He is with us at all times; we just have to acknowledge Him there. For example, my husband and I recently purchased a new vehicle. For that first month after we drove it home, each time I climbed into that truck, I told God how awesome it was to drive a new vehicle, how much I loved seeing my husband's happiness, how … [Read more...]
