How God Helped and Taught me Through Pregnancy and Childbirth
We were so excited to be pregnant! We had prayed God would give us a child and he did…quickly too!!! We were married on January 27th and pregnant by early April. I thought I was doing well until in the middle of a work trip with my husband to Detroit nausea hit…and the bleeding. I was freaking out. The bleeding was light. Then on Mother’s Day, it increased enough we were afraid I was having a miscarriage. We went in that Monday and found out the baby was safe, but the Dr said it was a “threatened miscarriage” and there was a risk we could lose the baby. I bled…

Simplicity “Simplify Your Home to Make Room for Greater Things” By Katie White
Do you ever have weeks where you feel like all you do is clean, organize, and maintain your home? Me, too! I have five children with three of them being 3-year-old triplets. I love my littles but keeping a home has proven to be rather difficult with all the little hands undoing what I have done! Does this sound like your home? Instead of spending so much time on organizing and cleaning all the things we own, how much more time can we spend in step with God and His will if we didn’t have so many things to maintain?

Simplicity “Creating A Simple Wardrobe Based On Monastic Rules of Life” by Joy Peters

While it seems contradictory to simplicity, developing a Rule of Life has been one of the most freeing decisions I have made.

I had settled into a routine within office politics. Honestly, I thought that job was something I would do even after having kids. It had been my life’s goal. What I thought was my mission. But that…
