Schwangerschaft & Elternschaft

Its my story and how God took an ordinary family who met and fell in love with Jesus and religion could no longer satisfy It's about what God can do with lives that are totally sold out to him. It takes total commitment to him with no compromise . I just fell in love with Jesus because he first loved me. It's the goodness of God that leads us to repentance, not his judgement (Rom.2:4) The death of Jesus on the cross allows God to extend grace and mercy to all sinners. He works in the believer by the washing of the water of his word which renews our minds as we read his word so we can have the mind of Christ. He does this by convicting us of sin and leading us to repentance. My husband and I were both shy people before we knew the Lord. God made us bold for Him. I was saved first and he always told people if I hadn't made a 180-degree turn to the true God he would have never got saved. God showed me what wisdom was. He told me it was learning when to speak your mind and when to mind your speak. He also showed me when to say I was sorry for the way I said something so God could still use what I said when he can correct my attitude. I had to see my children go their own way and make wrong choices in their life. I saw God's promise in his word come to pass in (Proverbs 226) that when they are old they will not depart. They come back to the roots of their upbringing. I have my oldest daughter Crystal , my son Troy and my youngest daughter Tiffany, they are all serving Jesus today. I always said God has no grandchildren only children your parents can't get you there everyone has to have a personal relationship for themselves.

Becoming a first-time mom is an incredibly beautiful and transformative experience, but it also comes with its fair share of emotional changes and mood swings. It's completely normal to feel a rollercoaster of emotions during this time, as your body adjusts to the hormonal fluctuations and the overwhelming responsibilities of caring for a new baby. In this subchapter, we will explore the various emotional changes and mood swings that new moms might experience, along with some practical tips to navigate through them.One common emotional change that many new moms face is the "baby blues." These are characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, and irritability, usually occurring a few days after giving birth. The baby blues are caused by hormonal changes and the adjustment to the demands of motherhood. It's important to remember that these feelings are temporary and usually subside within a couple of weeks. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it could be a sign of postpartum depression, which requires professional help.Mood swings are another common occurrence during the postpartum period. You may find yourself laughing one moment and crying the next, without any apparent reason. These mood swings are a result of hormonal changes, lack of sleep, and the stress of adapting to your new role as a mother. It's crucial to be patient with yourself and seek support from your loved ones. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and there are many resources available to help you cope.To manage emotional changes and mood swings effectively, it's important to prioritize self-care. Taking time for yourself, even if it's just a few minutes each day, can make a significant difference in your emotional well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy and help you relax, such as reading, taking a bath, or practicing deep breathing exercises. Additionally, reaching out to other new moms or joining a support group can provide a sense of community and validation.It's also essential to communicate your emotions and needs to your partner, family, or friends. Sharing your feelings and concerns can help alleviate the emotional burden and allow your loved ones to provide the support you require. Remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength and self-awareness.

"We're going camping, you and me.?"Where?? I ask."The desert,? says Dad. "To shake hands with the universe.?Going to bed each night can be dark and scary. The night sky stretches out endlessly, making one sensitive child feel small in comparison. So Dad comes up with a plan: a night of camping out in the desert. Together, the two load up Darlin', the old pickup truck, and drive over the mountain with the radio on, stopping to shoot the breeze at a junkyard before setting up camp, jumping in sand dunes, and lying back to name all the birds they can see. After sunset, when the young thinker feels tiny against the vast sky, Dad knows just what to ask - and just what to say - to soothe away fears. Maybe this night spent under the stars (and a surprise from Mum and the baby later) are just what is needed to show that the universe is a friendly place.
