Hey all! I came on here to say that there would be no new episode, however, God did give me a message to give to you all! It's funny how that works right? Love your mom, appreciate her and celebrate her not just on Mother's Day but everyday! For those who do not have a great relationship or any relationship with their mother, ask God to give you the strength and wisdom to forgive and ask Him to help you let that pain, anger, unforgiveness go. Who knows? God may restore the relationship! You never know...

Show Notes:

Matthew 11:28-30 "Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”" New Living Translation

Philippians4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." New King James Version

Hello all! Today starts a new series for the month of May called "Forgiveness and Motherhood"! Today is part 1 and I had the pleasure of speaking with Maria Modamwen! Maria Modamwen has a career in Contract Administration for the Federal government. She is a mom to her beautiful 4 year old son, Midas. Becoming a mom led her to solidifying her life passion in wellness. She advocates for mother’s wellness through her platform, Golden Mom Journeys (GMJ). GMJ focuses on empowering moms through their pregnancies, birth experiences, and post-partum journeys through our doula services with a focus on holistic fitness. When moms are holistically fit, that’s when they are truly empowered. She spoke of her journey of forgiveness with her mother and in becoming a mother. This is an episode that is a must listen!

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:6 New International Version (NIV) 

"Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." Romans 12:11 NIV 

"Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." 1 John 3:2 New King James Version (NKJV) 

When Derrick sung the song "my faith is built on nothing less..." it came from the song "Solid Rock" by William B. Bradbury (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhVwVHC6_n0) 

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." Luke 12:7 NKJV

Hello everyone! For this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Patrice! Patrice is a child of God, a mother, a sister, a friend, a coach, a student, a dog and horse lover, an artist, and an exercise junkie. She dreams big and encourages others to do the same, since we only go through this life once. She reigns in the kitchen. We met through our coaching class and she became like a mother to me, I have appreciated her wisdom, counsel and many stories that she tells! She came to me with her story of her divorce from her husband and I was on the edge of my seat. This is an episode that you will enjoy!

Show Notes:
