One Word, One Saint, One Verse of the Year

It's almost the middle of January—can you believe it?! (I certainly can't.) I wonder how those who made New Year's resolutions at the end of December or beginning of January are doing. (I didn't make any resolutions and may not really get around to making any—more on this in a bit—BUT if you're one of … Continue reading One Word, One Saint, One Verse of the Year

Blessings for 2021 & Lessons from 2020

Well, well, well... Can you believe it? 2021 is here! And the last time I wrote a blog post, COVID-19 had just started to wreak havoc in the world.

Woman, You Are Meant to Shine! (An Invitation)

One of the things that I had been praying for during my bedrest period was that I would be well enough to attend this year's Jewels Conference.

Mothers Need to Love Themselves, Too (Thank You for the Reminder, Watsons!)

As a mother, I know how it is to just give and give and give. To love and love and love... your kids, your spouse, and others around you even. I also know how tiring it can be. How we moms can fall into the trap of loving others too much and then we forget … Continue reading Mothers Need to Love Themselves, Too (Thank You for the Reminder, Watsons!)

The Blessings and Challenges of a Work at Home Mom: My Veritas 846 Interview

The first quarter of this year has been a bit busy for me, not just because of family life and the kids, but also because of the opportunities that God has been giving to me and Truly Rich and Blessed.

Wrap Yourself in God’s Word: A J.E.W.E.L.S. Experience

Have you ever heard of Bible Journaling? I would often see it on social media, usually in the posts of my friends from other Christian denominations.

Feast Valle Verde gathering would … Continue reading Wrap Yourself in God’s Word: A J.E.W.E.L.S. Experience

On Taking Care of Our Self: 3 Easy Ways to Care for Your Skin

After all, God loves you and created you for a special purpose, and … Continue reading On Taking Care of Our Self: 3 Easy Ways to Care for Your Skin

One Simple Way to Boost Your Health (and Your Own Milk Supply!)

Over here at Truly Rich and Blessed, we try to emphasize that one of our "riches" is actually something that is often overlooked (or, in my case, neglected at times!). And that is "Our Self." I am quite guilty of this actually, so I have been *trying* to take better care of myself, including my health! … Continue reading One Simple Way to Boost Your Health (and Your Own Milk Supply!)

When God Has A Better Plan For You

A little over a year ago, I wrote one of the most honest, heartfelt and emotional posts that I have ever written here on Truly Rich and Blessed, entitled When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayers.
