When we become a Christ follower, we begin learning how to walk with God in the Spirit. When we take the time to grow in our relationship with him and be obedient he will lead us in the right direction. Sometimes we may ask why he is taking us on a certain path? Why is…

Worth the Wait
A year ago I started this blog to share my story about our struggle to get and stay pregnant. One year ago. And today I’m writing this with a 7 week old healthy baby girl in my lap. This year has been the most rewarding ever. I honestly wasn’t sure if I would ever be…
The Ugly Truth
On my last blog, I shared the fact that I haven’t been writing much about this pregnancy because, well, it basically sucks. But, many of you reached out to me and told me to share away and not feel the guilt I was feeling for complaining about something I am eternally grateful for. So here…
The Bigger Your Storm, the Brighter Your Rainbow.
As I sit here getting closer and closer to week 14, 15, 16 etc. I am beyond joyful and thankful for so many things. Obviously, number one being this pregnancy and that I’ve made it past my last 3 miscarriage weeks. Eight, Ten, and Twelve. But, I am also thankful for the journey I took…
Ready for Battle
Week 10. Test week. Since in the “baby making world” I’m considered old (cringe) for having a baby, there are a multitude of test and procedures that have to be done that didn’t when I had N almost four years ago. I’m only 36. But, having a baby after 35 is considered high risk. And…
A Week at a Time
Yesterday, I hit the 9 week mark. Each day, and especially week, that goes by I get more and more excited. When you’ve had three miscarriages, each one tends to reply in your mind on a daily basis and it’s hard to stop and be joyful and excited about a pregnancy that may not last. …
Trust
I’ve been seeing a lot of people on my Instagram (@iamlivinginfreedom) talk about their “word” for 2019. I had never done this before so I thought I’d give it a go. But, what word would I choose? And how do I go about choosing it? Is everyone choosing their word as something they want to…
Let God be the Judge
We live in a world that judges people on a constant basis. People are judged by their appearance, their political party, their sexual orientation, the color of their skin. Whether or not they vaccinate their children or support a brand because of their representative choice. One of the main reasons I no longer get on…
Jesus Came into this World in a Messy Place for the Messiest of People.
When I think of the night that Christ was born, I seriously get chills. The savior of this world, the Prince of Peace, was born in a stable. He was laid in a manger. A place where animals stay. A place that was messy and dirty. God could have planned for him to be born…
Harboring Unforgiveness is Like Drinking Poison and Expecting the Other Person to Die.
Forgiveness is something I struggle with on a daily basis. The old me wants to hold on to that grudge. To not forgive. To let them know how bad they hurt me. But my pastor said it best when he said harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. When…
