Choose Life Radio broadcast

My story on infertility, pregnancy with triplets, and work at a local pregnancy center are featured on Choose Life Radio this week.

Go to www.chooseliferadio.com and look me up in the podcasts.

I had the privilege of interviewing the host, Jill Taylor, last fall for Pregnancy Help News. After the interview she learned I had triplets and asked me to be a guest on the show. It was very humbling.

However, I will tell you that the bio of me on the website makes me uncomfortable. It says I am a freelancer who gets what she wants. That’s not true.

I get what God wants for me.

Even so, it’s a blessing that people across the country hear our little story. I hope you are blessed. My goal is for my stories to bring encouragement and hope.

I’m not sure how long I will keep blogging, but I pray some mom feels like she is NOT crazy after reading my input in each post.

Perspective: Bleh! Too Many People!

As a mom of faith, I have counted on God to guide this parenting gig since that first positive pregnancy test results were read to me July 1, 2004. There has been one major obstacle between God and I all these years, even long before my children existed. It's flesh and blood. I'm not just talking about my own. People in general. People I have had to encounter during this journey. People with whom I have tried to have relationships. People who are responsible for my kids when I am not there. People who hurt my kids. People who love my kids. People who hurt me. This past week my maturity in this area was tested repeatedly. I've come a long way from the early days of reacting to my "people" issues. As a new mom your goal is to protect your infant from all that is a threat. Whether it is as simple as germs or complex as predators, we are on guard. And let me tell you, I had my "reactive" moments with sanitary stations and ninja warrior gear as I jumped ou...

6..7.. is not enough

6-7.. If you have a school age kid, you have been inundated with "6-7." What is that? Long story short, it is part of lyrics from a song that talks about a basketball player whose height is 6'7. So kids just repeat it. When the score of a game is 6-7, you're going to hear the kids shout it. In the classroom while doing math homework, if the answer has 6 and 7 next to each other, you will hear it. So, who cares? I heard the numbers mentioned in an entirely different way. I was listening to a podcast which featured Pastor Jonathan Pokluda. Pokluda is an evangelistic pastor who speaks primarily to the younger generation. He has been in the hospital battling an unknown illness. And he is still speaking the Gospel for those who want to listen. Here's a link to his interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5v8-QRqjM&pp=ygUlamVzdXMgcGVvcGxlIHBvZGNhc3QgSk9uYXRoYW4gUG9rbHVkYQ%3D%3D In the podcast, he gave a great example of how to ask someone if they are eterna...

No longer holding it together -- on the bathroom floor

I recently wrote a column for Mom Life Today, a Christian moms' platform entitled, "I Cried in the Shower Last Night." The column spoke of my grief surrounding the impending high school graduation of my triplet daughters: https://momlifetoday.com/grief-when-children-graduate-high-school/ Tonight I found myself in tears in my bathroom again. This, however, was different. ( To be quite honest, I am not sure what it is with me and closing the bathroom door and being real with my emotions....) I am also going to honestly say that I have been toying with many ideas to write in this blog recently, only to abruptly change my mind because I realized my motives were too emotional. Being brutally honest here -- the emotions were anger. The Holy Spirit was quick but patient to show me those blogs were unnecessary and not exactly beneficial for my readers. I do not want this blog to be a place to vent or air my dirty laundry. Oh, but there IS laundry. The "loads," I have...
