From Frazzled to Fun

It's time to wake up and get into action! Those of us who love God must all work together for the sake of our children and our children's children.

And we can even do it through creative ways like hosting a party, mentioned later in this post.

We are in a battle to save the lives of babies, the reproductive future of our children, God's plan for marriage and the family, and America's freedoms.

Why would you not get involved right now in choosing government leaders?

• You are frustrated with the system?
• You are too overwhelmed with your own personal life and family?
• You are confused by all the mixed messages?
• You have a dislike for politics?
• You feel an aversion to a personality?
• You don't feel it will make a difference?
• You don't feel you have the time?

I encourage you to remember this: When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. Prov. 29:2

We must push past obstacles that would keep us from engaging in Jesus' Name for such a tim...

Whoever wants the next generation the most will get them.

That is the message of the new movie The Forge, by the Kendrick Brothers, makers of War Room.

So many great takeaways about life choices, prayer, the difference investing time in another can make...

A powerful movie for families.

Showings begin on Friday, Aug. 23!

What would keep you and your family from going next weekend?

You can watch the trailer and purchase tickets here.

Chris and I had the chance to preview the movie last month.

We loved it and are purchasing tickets for our kids who would like to see it.

Enjoy! (And let's keep supporting makers of good movies!)

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 last year and then more information I learned this week, that I must bring up once again 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.

One question I would ask at my local health food store -- tell me more about homeo prophylactic oral drops that give immunity against MMR, meningitis and the other diseases we are wanting to avoid.

 I simply want to inform you of resources I have seen that might aid you in your research:

Mama, you hold so much together for your family.

I pray the Lord blesses you with a desire to persist in faith-filled and cheerful steadfastness, no matter the course, no matter the road, no matter the obstacles.

May He pour into you a fresh breath of endurance, strength and courage for such a time as this, eyes on the Forever Faithful One.

Amen and God bless you,

Brenna

P.S. If you are a foster or adoptive mom, I want to invite you to join the Truth Mom Tribe. It's a community for honest, free and fun foster and adoptive living. Click here to learn more.

P.S.S. Not a foster or adoptive mom? For Mother's Day, bless a foster/adoptive mom with the gift of Truth Mom Tribe, which includes resources and encouragement for every member of her family. 

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.

• Garlic, a "natural antibiotic" also helps with boosting the immune system. (One study cited that one clove of garlic is 6x more potent than the antibiotic Tetracycline) It's also anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-yeast.
• Ginger has anti-inflammaory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties and is best known to help reduce nausea.
• Lemon juice is high in vitamin C, which can help boost the immune system, while honey is full of antioxidants and provides soothing relief for the throat.

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 screen,” the Watertown CT Police Department, Connecticut, said in another p...

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 His glory. (The enemy evidently still hasn’t caught on to that!)

I truly belie...

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:

Gender Transformation: The Untold Realities 

Kudos to Moms For America and the Epoch Times for partnering together to make this available.

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 of how we feel about agendas like this.

It’s time to boycott Sc...
