Helping moms create space for fun, family, and faith
I'm still rejoicing over how the Lord met us in such a powerful way at the Coach Mom Live Retreat in Phoenix a few weekends ago.
I so appreciate everyone who shared their talents to make it such a special weekend.
My daughter Mari made this video showing highlights from the weekend, which includes some of the moms sharing what the time meant to them.
Again, one of the most powerful moments this year was the time the foster and adoptive moms shared their stories with each other.
Where to go from here...
I am excited to continue the love and support by opening the doors to Truth Mom Tribe, a community for honest, free, and fun foster and adoptive living.
If you are a foster or adoptive mom, or seek to know how best to support your foster and adoptive mom friends, I hope you will consider joining the Truth Mom Tribe!
"It will knock out most sicknesses in three days," according to health teacher Barbara O'Neill, when she talks about her "flu bomb" recipe.
This natural remedy, recommended by Barbara O'Neill, provides the body with the environment it needs to heal, without the negative side effects that come with pharmaceutical drugs. (It's also cost-effective!)
Each ingredient in this recipe serves a specific purpose in promoting healing within the body.
According to the Epoch Times, multiple U.S. police departments issued alerts about a new iPhone feature that allows sharing contact info and images wirelessly between two closely held devices, warning it could put children and other vulnerable individuals at risk.
“If you have an iPhone and have done the recent iOS 17 update, they’ve installed a feature called NameDrop. This feature allows you to easily share contact information and photos to another iPhone by just holding the phones close together,” the Middletown Division of Police, Ohio, said in a Nov. 26 Facebook post. “PARENTS: Don’t forget to change these settings on your child’s phone to help keep them safe as well!”
“With this feature enabled, anyone can place their phone next to yours (or your child’s phone) and automatically receive their contact information to include their picture, phone number, email address, and more, with a tap of your unlocked...
God flew me all the way to Africa and back, 20 checkpoints each way, with an airline ticket that had the wrong LAST NAME. Yep…it was a miracle!
I only got detained 3 times. Each time they came and profusely apologized, letting me pass through without speaking a word on my behalf!
I love to share my most exciting God stories. But I realize they all have one thing in common: a certain degree of peril.
The idea of living out more God miracles sounds amazing… but...today just never seems like a convenient time….
Right now, we all stand in a unique time ourselves…
War, threats of organized terrorist groups on our own soil who have entered through our open borders, political unrest, bank closures, and food chain disruptions all threaten our sense of peace.
But I encourage you to not be dismayed or discouraged.
One thing we know from the past: The biggest challenges are God's biggest opportunities to show...
I felt the Lord's fierce love and compassion for today's youth as I heard Holy Spirit whisper to my heart, "For those lucky enough to even be born [and not aborted], they have had nefarious campaigns against them all of their days."
That recently happened on my weekday morning prayer call when someone was voicing a prayer for the children and the troubling things they are into.
One of those "nefarious campaigns"?
The stealing of their very identities...and the confusion, defeat, hopelessness, and scars that come with it.
Yes, gender confusion.
We cannot ignore this.
Our children are getting the gender confusion campaign message from society at every turn, and they need our protection, whether they recognize that need or not.
It's time to take get equipped.
I encourage you to watch the award-winning docudrama & panel discussion:

Kudos to Moms For America and the Epoch...
Of all the things we have to be diligent to protect our children from, who would have thought it would be a book fair?
Yes, the "longtime trusted" Scholastic Books can't be trusted.
Not anymore.
It's not the company you knew as a child.
You won't believe the content Scholastic is trying to feed children in their 75,000 book fairs this year.
These books, peddled to pre-K to middle school children, include pornography, obscenities, same-sex parents, stories that portray parents as evil and homophobic, hidden LGBTQ content, and graphic novels that truly are graphic.
See this PDF document that is going viral exposing Scholastic (Warning: graphic content included).
As you look at the content, it will be clear to you: Scholastic no longer cares about your children.
They care about promoting an ideology that is spiritually, physically, and mentally
harmful to your children.
Bud Light and Target are getting a good taste...
It's time to STAND. Actually let's ROAR.
What we believe is not what we say, but what we do.
Do you believe all humans have been given unalienable rights by our Creator...Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to name a few?
How are you exemplifying that now in the choices you make in these ongoing unprecedented times?
Do you want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for your children's future?
Mama, it's time to show your children what you believe and to live it out.
In case you hadn't heard:

Would you like to know a simple something you can do to combat those colds and flus that might soon be lurking now that school has started and fall and winter are around the corner?
Try a detox bath.
Detox Bath
2 C. epsom salts
2 C. baking soda
2 C. hydrogen peroxide
Instructions:
1. Run a bath with hot water
2. Add 2 cups of epsom salts
3. Add 2 cups baking soda
4. Add 2 cups hydrogen peroxide
5. Submerge body from the shoulders down into the water
6. Soak for a half hour
7. Have a glass of water to drink so you can stay hydrated
8. Rinse with water in the shower if skin is itchy afterwards. (But avoid using soaps, shampoos or lotions because pores will be open and will more easily absorb artificial fragrances, dyes, and toxic chemicals.)
8. A few hours after the bath, organic coconut oil can be applied on the skin to keep it healthy.
9. Keep drinking water for good hydration.

I heard Jenny Donnelly recently share that the Lord has laid on her heart the mission to organize 250,000 prayer hubs to meet once a month and pray for one hour.
A prayer hub is simply 2-3 people who meet once a month to pray.
You can do this with other moms (2-3, or up to 10) if you would like.
Or you can do this as a family!
Will you commit to this?
After you register, you will have access to each month's prayer guide.
She has specific prayer guides for kids, too! One for ages 6 and under and...
At the risk of upsetting a few people, I feel because of information I learned from three sources that all came to me on the same day this last week (I don't think that was by chance?), that I must bring up a question for consideration that is pertinent to all moms...
Is it in my child's best interest to be vaccinated with the recommended childhood vaccines?
If I had it to do all over again, I would take the time to find the answer to that question by doing more research (how much did I do when my children were young? None) before allowing my children to receive the battery of recommended vaccines at each age and stage.
I simply want to inform you of resources I have recently seen that might aid you in your research:
