A Mother's heart

There's nothing sweeter than the love of a mother to her child.
In this month, specially to all of mommies out there, my wishes of  a Happy Mother's Month.

It can be an expecting mom (like me!), mommy with young babies or toddlers, school age kids or grown ups with their own children (hello grandma!). It's all about dedication, sacrifice, LOVE.

As women, there are so many things that challenge us from inside out, every day, day-after-day. But the biggest challenge of all is having-raising-taking care of a child. This is a lifetime FULL-time work.

I applause all of us who put our hearts onto our kids for their goodness. They are blessed. So are
we.

This photo is from one of my boards at Pinterest. I love how the baby is held and the sweetness behind the big hand.

I'll be in my first prenatal doctor visit tomorrow. And no matter what awaits for me, I know I'm blessed and God is in control of everything.

Again,

Happy Mother's Month!

(in)RL with (in)courage people!

Good morning, everyone:

I'm happy to share that I am "IN"Courage 2013 already!
Just finished my registration (free) and here a video to help us get started:



Last year I signed up for this great meetup online but had a family emergency that called me to travel in the same date of the online conference. I missed the whole live event but I'm glad I was there with and FOR my mom. God knows all about me and my heart, and I know He had and HAS a plan for me. So I was faithful even under such stressful environment and situation, to keep me going.

Look forward to this year's (in)courage with old and new friends!

Love,

Bible Study

Hi everyone:

After last year's September Bible study with my local church women group (WOW), I was really excited to start again another great one!
Today we started the study of: DAVID - Seeking a Heart Like His, a book from Beth Moore study series.  (LifeWay)

It's a 240 pages study book with a deeper look at the heart that puts God in first place, among struggles, battles, doubts and victories.

I'll be sharing as I go week by week, the part(s) that speak more to me and other(s) that make my heart thrill...

Now, sharing the scripture mentioned in the study:
"You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him."
Romans, 8:9(HCSB)

Blessings,

from the heart

Hope this finds you well.

Just thought I would share this beautiful banner from in[courage] post this week.

Then this verse to get us thinking:

You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. ~James 3:18, MSG (emphasis by author of the post).

And here are my feelings...

A true Friendship can be more than having fun together. It can heal deep wounds and can warm a frozen soul. Reach out for yours today.

...reminders of God's love for us.
This post is about what people believe and what they do based on this belief.

I'm honored to be able to participate in May's review for the Dayspring "Inspired Deals".

I have always been a lover of Dayspring cards and products, for their quality and wonderful message found in each of them.

About a couple of months ago, I started to visit (in)courage, and since then this place has been like fresh air to my soul, in my moments of quietness or struggles, I like to stop by and stay for a while.

It makes me happy. It makes me cry or smile. It brings sunshine to my heart.

It's a place to find inspirations.

For this month, Dayspring sent me this beautiful set of tote and cup for review. it's a gorgeous set of tote and cup. The front of the tote has the words of Psalm 103:2 "I will bless the Lord". And the cup...well, it's just so pretty.

These are the things we can use everyday while thinking about how God's presence can change our life.

Visit the Dayspring (in)spired deals page to order the set - it's in the May's featured items and you'll get a great discount!

I was given this tote and teacup from the Dayspring (in)spired line of products in exchange for a review. Although I was given a free product, opinions expressed here are all my own. No other form of compensation was received.

God Bless you and yours,
