Goodness gracious! What a roller coaster

Goodness gracious! What a roller coaster of emotions this week! Mother’s Day is supposed to be a time of celebration of MOM and MOTHERHOOD, right?! Don’t get me wrong, I love being a MOM and I LOVE my CHILDREN! In fact, Motherhood is the ultimate profession. A high calling – a profession that can bring out the best and the worst in us right? Builds character for sure!
The emotional roller coaster thing has been a wild ride. It’s been that way for more than 3 decades now. For the majority of that time my emotions were just a mass of confusion. It was only until the spring of 2003 that I was finally able to sort out what that mass and jumble of emotional confusion was all about. Mother’s Day and early May have been tough and I didn’t know why until midway through the healing journey from my past abortion as a scared young woman of 18. My daughter’s birthday would have been around Mother’s Day….it all became so much clearer as the truth unfolded.
You see, no one talked about abortion trauma back then. They tell you you’ll be sad for a couple days so take it easy, sadness will turn to relief and then life can get back to normal. It’s not a baby yet, no big deal – you can have lots more children later when you’re ready. Well, life was never “normal” again!
In fact, the moment I walked out the door of the Lovejoy Surgicenter I walked directly into a prison cell of my soul. [...]

As I was going to sleep last night and p

As I was going to sleep last night and pondering a conversation with an amazing young woman, wife and mother that my daughter went to high school with. Thinking about my journey and where America is today on these issues of “LIFE”, “CHOICE”, Pregnancy Care Centers and the amazing help they give women, families vs. abortion clinics. A thought came to mind….simple and life saving, soul saving, heart saving…….”CHOOSE LIFE, NOT LIES!”
The abortion industry LIES to women that it’s no big deal. I was told that, and I have worked with so many women who were told that, “it’s no big deal”. Truth is the moment you walk out of the abortion clinic and you think you are “free”, you are actually walking right into a prison cell of your soul. Abortion is a soul wound….it impacts you spirit-soul-body. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is either just deceived or is just lying to you for whatever reason. We were created for LIFE! I am eternally grateful that Jesus has set me free. So, Please….CHOOSE LIFE, NOT LIES! There is hope and there is help if you are pregnant and you think abortion is your only way out.

As we approach Mother’s Day, a holiday

As we approach Mother’s Day, a holiday that brought me great confusion and sadness for many years without me understanding why. That is until I went through a profound healing journey that took the mask of deception off of the eyes of my heart so that I could see so much more clearly.This poem has opened the door to so many who have gone on to receive the healing they need from their lost children http://ow.ly/d/1dX8

Happy May Day! May is ENCOURAGE AND EMPO

Happy May Day! May is ENCOURAGE AND EMPOWER month here at L.I.F.E.V.I.C.T.O.R.Y! I remember as a child going around picking flowers in the fields near our home and making little paper baskets and coloring them with pretty designs. We would fill the baskets with flowers and take them to our neighbors, hang them on the doorknob, ring the doorbell and run! Not quite sure where that started except from the phrase “April Showers bring May Flowers” – so May 1st celebrates the full bloom of Spring. Happy May Day everyone! http://ow.ly/i/212q0 and very soon the butterflies!

Here we are at the last day of April…i

Here we are at the last day of April…in doing a little clean up of my office today I came across some conference notes from back in 2006 that always applies to forgiveness. Understanding that there are consequences of not forgiving yourself and others can be great motivation to become a good forgiver. There are 5 consequences that can greatly hinder living whole in your soul. ~ Self punishment & condemnation ~ Uncertainly about yourself and life ~ Feelings of low or no self-worth ~ Life based on works and performance instead of grace ~ Unforgiving spirit toward others Holding a grudge or resentment holds you prisoner. A shift in your thinking can help you Cultivate a Forgiving Heart, Mind & Soul ~ Accepting and understanding God’s forgiveness for being unforgiving is the first place to start. ~ It truly is a gift from God, having the faith to forgive sets you free ~ Personal process that happens within you ~ Allows you to be a good forgiver ~ Allows you to no longer hold onto grudges and resentment ~ Allows you to rediscover your lost strengths and energies that have been wasted ~ This all gives you the chance to let go of your past and getting on with your life. Forgiveness is a key to warmer, healthier relationships. http://ow.ly/i/20Jko

It’s kind of funny….facebook asks, “

It’s kind of funny….facebook asks, “What’s on your mind?” Well, quite a lot actually and a bit heavy hearted about the lies and deception being communicated about what the Scriptures say about certain things…There are so many warnings especially in the New Testament about listening to false teachers and that the teachings of Jesus Christ would be scoffed at, mocked and ridiculed. Jesus, Mark, Peter, Jude and many more give warnings. In Mark, Jesus is talking to the crowds, along with his disciples about what defiles them. He said it’s not what they eat, but what they think and say. He said it’s the thought-life that pollutes. For from within, out of men’s (women too) hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride, and all other folly. And these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you unfit for God (Jesus’ words not mine). (Mark 7:14-23) Then we jump to 1st Peter, Come to Christ, who is the living Foundation of Rock upon which God builds. Peter pleads, “You have had enough in the past of the evil things the godless enjoy – sex sin, lust, getting drunk, wild parties, drinking bouts, and the worship of idols and other terrible sins.” In second Peter, he goes on to say, “Do you want more and more of God’s kindness and peace? Then learn to know Him better and better. For as you know Him better, he will give you, through His great power, everything you need for living a truly good life. Later on [...]

Do you ever wonder if you can really mak

Do you ever wonder if you can really make a difference for good in this world? I hear some people say “what good is it to even try?” Or, “What’s the use in even trying to make a difference?” Oh please hear and understand what great value and worth you have. You are a gift and you have gifts, talents, skills and abilities in their own unique combination to fulfill your purpose, understand and know your God-given unique identity and a destiny for good in this world. Did you know that God created us to LOVE?! That is our human identity because we are made in God’s Image and He is the true essence of LOVE. And you were created to LOVE. But fear is a block to LOVE. Fear can come in many forms, fear of failure, fear of success (yes, it’s true), fear of the future. So what are you afraid of? What holds you back from LOVE, what holds you back from the LIFE you were created to live? If those are questions you want answers to I’d love to walk you through gaining some clarity in the areas you struggle with and feel stuck in. Let me know how I can help.
