This week has brought me a lot of trials and tribulations. I had to write one of the hardest posts on my website to date. I put my pride aside and reached out for help from my readers, visitors, friends, and family. The amount of support, encouraging words, and prayers that have been coming in has been amazing. I get emotional just thinking about all of the love that has been shown to me this week. Just went I thought that I had hit rock bottom, I said a prayer and released all of my problems and stresses to God. I asked Him "may Your will be...

"When you're down to nothing, God is up to something." This awesome quote was left to me in a comment by my beautiful friend K.O. on one of my recent posts in which I let go of my pride. I have been struggling a lot lately on many different levels, but the only thing that hasn't waivered is my faith and my belief that God has a better plan in store for me.

PREFACE: It pains me to have to write this post, but I have to put my pride aside because my children come first.

My job doesn't offer pay during maternity leave as a benefit to most of its employees, so I am faced with August's bills and no way of paying them. This includes my...

When I do these "Standing on my Soapbox" posts I don't mean to ruffle any feathers. Especially when it comes to religion because I know that everyone will have their own beliefs. However, I have been told on more than one occasion that to be a "true" Christian you have to attend an actual, physical church. (These comments were made in reference to me when I said that I have had a bad experience with organized religion and that I don't know if I will ever attend another church service again.) I beg to differ that I can't be a good Christian...

I'm still participating in the Bible in 90 Days challenge. I am officially a week behind, but I plan on doubling up on my reading this week to catch up to where I need to be. I am so proud of myself for taking on this challenge, and I know that I will only grow spiritually as I get further and further into my Bible. I have already seen a change in me because I am getting a daily, quiet devotional time with God that I have never had before. I am reflecting on the words that I am reading and it's causing me to direct a lot of my problems, fears, ...
