God is like an Aldi
I’m an Aldi shopper. I love its simplicity, and cheapness! Plus, they are stinking efficient– especially when I have babies with minuscule amounts of patience. That speaks my language.

“I don’t feel the bond.”
“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you” Isaiah 66:13 “I don’t feel the bond.” I cringed as I spoke those words to my friend. I loved my baby, I really did. I just didn’t feel like we had reached a point of deep connection between mother and daughter. That was a…

You Don’t Have to Breastfeed–Pt. 1 “Stop The Shame”
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4 “Is your baby breast-fed or formula-fed?” “Formula-fed.” When the nurse heard my response, she turned to me with a shocked expression on her face. I didn’t appreciate that. She didn’t know my story. She didn’t…

Drops of Water on Your Face
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning…

Rebuilding Your Temple
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV “Your body has had a significant amount of trauma so take…
