My Heart's True Valentine!

On this special Valentine's Day... I humbly offer my heart to God in return, for all the gifts and blessings of His Love and Grace, Joy and Peace He's given me! I come into His holy presence of Love and kneel down before Him as He sits on His Heavenly throne... I lift up my eyes and hands and heart to Him... and I sing Him a sweet Love song, from my heart of gratitude, for always being my God, for never letting me down and always staying true to all His promises and for giving me the precious gift of His true Love, His endless Grace and eternal Salvation! God is truly amazing and I Love Him with everything that I am and always will! Thank you, God for Loving and blessing me! Amen! You are my heart's True Valentine!!! :)

Our Valentine's Day Tea

It's Valentine's Day again... and the gift of God's Love is truly in the air! I had the chance to share some special, Mommy N Me Valentine's Day time with my precious daughter, Audrey, (and of course, my other precious daughter, growing in my womb), at a special Valentine's Day tea! This was actually not Audrey's first real tea... we celebrated my birthday with she and my mom a couple of years ago at a real tea house when she was only about 5 1/2 months old! Audrey was so excited to go to tea today, a few minutes before we left for tea, I asked her if she wanted a little snack before we went and she kindly declined my offer, reminding me that "we are going to tea!" :) It was the cutest thing!

The Valentine's Day tea today was held at my mom's friend's house, and it was very elegant and lovely. Audrey was a true, Little Lady and of course, social butterfly! She warmly greeted everyone there with big smiles, hand shakes, high fives and as she sat at our table sipping her tea, (with ice cubes in it), she gave her most precious princess wave she could! She truly touched and blessed everyone's heart with the warmth and Joy and Grace of God's true Love... (especially her proud Mama's!).

It was really special to share this special day with Audrey, my sweet Baby Girl in my womb, my mom and her friends... and most of all to share the beautiful gift of God's Love! I feel especially blessed by God's Love because of it!

Praying that the rest of your Valentine's Day is a very special one! May you remember how much God Loves you!!! :)

A Mother's Heart Shines With God's Love

With tomorrow being Valentine's Day, I feel especially inspired to write a new blog for mothers in particular. Mothers are absolutely amazing and I think that we should truly honor, respect and solute mothers, not just once a year, (on Mother's Day), but every day of the year... because that's just how precious, special, beloved and needed they are.

Yet, how often do they go about their daily lives, working so hard to raise their children with Love, not realizing just how amazing they are? I imagine more times than not, mothers are so busy with their everyday lives and all the amazing responsibilities of raising their children and taking care of their families that they may not always remember or realize just how special and important they are... and most of all beloved and cherished by God!

And so, if nothing else, in my own small and humble way, this evening, I hope to reach out to all mothers across the world in prayer and remind them how truly amazing they are... how wonderful they are and how much they are cherished and blessed by God.

Mothers are more beautiful than they might ever know. Their hearts shine and radiate with the true Love, Faith, Compassion, Light, Hope, Peace, Joy, Mercy, Forgiveness, Patience, Kindness, Tenderness and Beauty of God! Though most of all they especially shine and radiate God's unconditional Love! God lives inside all of His children, though, especially mothers. And mothers are especially blessed in that God has chosen to allow them to share in His divine nature, allowing them to conceive, carry and protect in their very wombs, the most precious gift of human life. Like God, mothers give the gift of Life in the most profound way humanly possible! What a truly amazing miracle to partake in. What an extraordinary blessing for all mothers.

The ever-deepening bond that is created between a woman whom God blesses with the gift of a child within her very womb and God is one that no words can even describe. And the ongoing bond that continues to develop between a mother, God and her precious child growing in her womb is just as amazing. It's something that is not talked about very much, though, I believe on the deepest levels of a mother's heart... this divine Truth is known to her and to all mothers through the world.

The work of a mother is truly a vocation of Love! It's a vocation of God's Love extended in every way to her children, her family, her community and world and also to herself as well. It really is.... a beautiful and blessed vocation of Love! It's that simple and that extraordinary!

As I pray for my own vocation of Love this evening... I truly open up my heart big and wide to reach all the mothers of this world and ask God continue to bless them and their families this evening and also, tomorrow on Valentine's Day... with His divine Love in the most special way of all! May they be strengthened and inspired by God's Love for them and may they truly know how beloved they are by God and appreciated they are for all the amazing work they do, taking care of and raising their families. May they feel as beautiful, (both inside and out), as they truly are... and know that their hearts shine and radiate God's Love to the world! Amen.

Happy and Blessed Valentine's Day to all... especially mothers across the world! :)

The Gift of God's Grace To Guide Us And Strengthen Us

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8).


Grace is a true and blessed Gift from God that saves us from the eternal fires of hell and grants us the most precious Gift of eternal Life through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus dying for us all on the cross, taking upon Himself all of our sins, although He as pure and sinless... and paying the heavy price for our eternal Salvation.

The Gift of God's Grace is an unmerited favor, there is nothing we could ever do on our own to deserve it or obtain it... it's purely God's Loving Gift to us... and He gives it so freely, and so we should receive it with great Joy, humility and Love and allow it to transform us and bless us in endless ways, preparing us for the most beautiful and blessed life, not just here on Earth, but in Heaven one day where we will live with God forever and ever!

As I continue to make my way through the remaining Journey of my pregnancy, (about 11 weeks or so), and having to be on bed rest, I am not only praying and reflecting upon the unconditional Gift of God's Love, but the Gift of His beautiful Grace!

I feel that God has really blessed me with His Grace in very special ways, and it has carried me through many storms in my life... to the safety of God's Loving arms and I trust His Grace will lead me and guide me forever more!

God's Grace helps us in ways that are unimaginable... and it makes proves true the powerful Sacred Scripture verse.... "I can do all thing through Christ Who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13). Yes, God's Grace helps us to do amazing this for God that we could never do on our own, and when we accomplish great things, through Christ, with the help of God's unending Grace... it always brings God Glory and inevitably draws others closer to Him because of it! :)

The Gift of God's precious Grace is more than enough for us to give us the strength to live our lives as His beloved children and accomplish the many wonderful and exciting plans He has for us... including making real, the most beautiful dreams He has given us and placed in our hearts!
And when we feel we are weak, that is when we are most strong in God's Grace and Love!

"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may .
dwell in me. (2 Corinthians 12:9).

I am praying for all of God's children, though, most especially mothers that they will truly feel the most magnificent blessing and Gift of God's amazing Grace upon them, and may they be helped and strengthened by it in all ways!

God's Grace is upon us! Praising God for His everlasting Love! :)

God's Using The Gift Of My Pregnancy To Draw Me Closer To Him

As I have mentioned in previous blogs, having to be on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy, I view this as a true blessing. It's really a very special chance for me to grow closer to God in my relationship with Him, and also with my beautiful daughter growing in my womb, and my beautiful daughter Audrey. It's also a unique opportunity for me to really pray and dream about the amazing future full of Hope that I know God has prepared for us!

Yesterday, God blessed me with a beautiful insight of Light and inspiration as I was reminded of the lovely Psalm 63 and how much I love that Psalm and how much I truly love God and long for Him. I long to see my beautiful daughter face to face, in the same way, when she is born and I realize how God blesses women during pregnancy in the most abundant ways to draw us closer to Him and our children and to really come to understand His divine Love for us, as our Love for our children grow, and grow and grow!

As I realized with my last pregnancy with Audrey, I realize all the more with this pregnancy with my second daughter what a true gift from God pregnancy is and how much God blesses a woman during her journey of pregnancy with the most Grace-filled Gifts!

God's Love Is In The Air!

God's Love is all around us and with the gift of every new, blessed day from God is another wonderful chance to celebrate the amazing gift of His unconditional Love! His Love is always available to us, for it dwells within our very hearts... and we should always strive to seek it in all we do, share it and celebrate it as much as possible!

This year will be my daughter, Audrey's second Valentine's Day, and it's really special for me also, because I am 29 weeks pregnant today with my second daughter! Children always make any holiday so much more fun and awesome. Audrey had a little Valentine's Day party with her friends at one of our Mommy and Me classes at the Y and she really enjoyed it. All the children exchanged Valentine's Day cards and she had me read them to her twice, and sometimes even carries them around with her. I could see that they really meant a lot to her... and it makes me realize all the more how important it is to share the blessed gift of God's Love with others!

With having to be back on bed rest for the next 11 weeks or so, to ensure a healthy and full term delivery for my precious daughter growing in my womb, I have more time to devote to my prayer life and one of the things I really want to focus on is the gifts of God's Love and Grace, continuing to realize it in the gift of each new day God gives me, and in the beautiful gift and blessing of my daughters.

God's Love is truly amazing... and I just want to continue to focus on it more and more each day and allow it again to be my true guide as it has so many times in the past throughout my life!

God's Love is truly in the air! May we continue to share it and celebrate it with Joy! :)

He Will Lift Us Up On Eagle's Wing

I just returned from my visit to my obstetrician. I am now 28 weeks 5 days pregnant and although after three weeks of having to be on bed rest after having my cervical surgery in December and doing so well that my specialist took me off of bed rest, unfortunately, my cervix is continuing to dilate, due the the fact that my Baby Girl is growing and getting bigger and is resting right on top of my cervix. So, for the next 12 weeks, I will need to stay on bed rest again.

I am not at all upset by this news... as I said before, I will do anything to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy for my daughter and a full term delivery. I really didn't mind so much being on bed rest the first time, (although, I was disappointed that I would have to miss all the fun classes and play dates with my daughter, Audrey), though, still, I was looking forward to the rest and bonding time with my growing, precious Baby Girl in my womb and even Audrey as well. Though, still, when my doctor took me off bed rest, I thought, OK, I will just continue to go with the flow and follow his directions, after all, he's the specialist and he knows best! :)

Though, now, I really have to take it easy... and make it through the next 12 weeks and continue praying that God will bless my Baby daughter with a healthy, happy, peaceful and Grace-filled full term delivery! This is my heart's greatest prayer right now, and if you could please pray for this too for us, we'd greatly appreciate it! :)

I do accept these new directions from my doctor as a Grace-filled blessing... and I plan to make the best of being on bed rest, again... continuing to grow closer to God and deeper and my faithful in prayer my not just myself, my family and friends but for everyone... and of course continuing to bond more closely with my precious Baby Girl, growing in my womb and with Audrey!

It's been a stressful pregnancy, (even though, there have been many blessings and Graces from God), and going through a divorce during it, has only made it more stressful and difficult, though, God's unfailing Grace continues to lift me and strengthen me. Praise God!!! :)

I will continue to wait upon the Lord, our God and I know He will continue to lift me high, upon eagle's wings, above all the difficulties that I have had to face... and soon, I will receive the amazing blessing and miraculous gift from above of being able to give birth to my beautiful daughter, and truly welcome her into my family and this world. I'm so looking forward to that day, though, until then... I will continue to wait patiently, relying on God's Grace and Love and Hope to see us through!:)

Thank you, very much, for your prayers for me and my Baby Girl and family. They are very much appreciated... and please be sure of mine for you and your family!

God's Grace is amazing!!! :)
