In 1988, President Ronald Reagan announced October as Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day which was chosen by Robyn Bear who founded October15th.com. She created “Wave of Light” where everyone is encouraged to light a candle between 7pm - 8pm in remembrance of all the little ones gone too soon. Many will go through without acknowledging this day, and I can say I was guilty of it until the loss of our daughter Abigail Faith. This is my first year participating in this bittersweet day. It was a day of hurt, pain, tears, encouragement, support, faith & love. You don’t realize how many have gone through losing a little one too soon because many keep it to themselves and losing a baby has been a silent grief in so many hearts. Also, people’s belief that if a child is not alive outside the womb then there is no reason to grieve over them. This is unfair and it saddens me to think that they assume that the loss o...

I have a granddaughter that lost her 8 year old son last January. I am dedicating this week's series entitled " Abigail Faith"  to her and many other hurting parents who have suffered the loss of a child.  This story is from Michelle Mora, a mother who is celebrating her daughter's anniversary on 3/29. Michelle is dedicated to reaching out to hurting parents by using her blog and we would like to invite you to visit her at https://inmemoryofabigailfaith.wordpress.com. When I asked Michelle about using her story to post on my blog so that many more parents would have the chance to read her and Abigail’s story, this was her quick response. Wow! Yes. Definitely okay with this. I want my daughter's story shared because I know she had a purpose. More glory to God! I’m definitely going to be writing another post as I usually do on her birthday. She has given me a purpose and a testimony. Thank you for reaching out as I know God is working mightily and w...

May God continue to hear the voices of our prayers as we continue to seek Him for our families, our country, the church, our Christians brothers and sisters worldwide and for our prayer requests. Today I was reminded to sound the trumpet call to All Christians. We must wake up & arise from our slumber and our comfortable state and begin to pray N fast. Our weapon of prayer is a powerful tool that we must constantly use. Prayer changes things, people and events and it will even move the heart of God. It is time that " If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and PRAY and SEEK My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. " 2 Chronicles 7:14.  " Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now 5 of them were wise and 5 were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with the,...

Have you ever wondered what Adam did during the day while in the Garden of Eden? How were his days spent? Adam had the blessing of talking and playing with God’s precious creatures while God took care of watching over them.  This place was God’s perfect state given to man and all of His creation. Imagine the variety of animals! Big ones, small ones, insects, birds and Adam knew all of them because it was Adam who named them. How amazing that there could be a place where everyone could enjoy each other and got along. There wasn’t any envy or jealousy, no fear between Adam and the animals. Everything was so unimaginably perfect. Let’s close our eyes for a moment and let’s imagine God’s Love and beauty and how it was reflected in this perfect paradise through all His wonderful creations that He created for   His good pleasure .  What do you see? Can you envision the animals coming over to sit and eat with Adam? We know that it was Adam who named every ani...

  As a parent, when your child shares with you that they are living an alternate lifestyle, you will struggle with issues of disappointment, shame and wonder of what went wrong. These are emotions that you must conquered from within your own heart, because at the end of the day your love for your child far outweighs your issues. Therefore, seek peace within yourself so that a stronger relationship with your child can emerge from this. Since having to deal with my daughter's decision to choose this lifestyle, I have founded some understanding of what my child has had to struggle with and see some of the challenges that she lives with today and will continue to do so. It was through Deb's group where I had an opportunity to meet other parent's children and listen to their story. I remember going into the meeting with a scary thinking of what and why am I doing this? I did not realize how deeply this resentment was in my ...
