Truly Rich Reflections (of sorts): `Tis the Season to Be Champions! :)

Hello, everyone! :)I'm still "recovering" from the Kerygma Conference (KCon) last weekend — it was a great time of blessing, inspiration, encouragement and affirmation from the Lord for all of us who were present. Hubby and I were part of the service team/staff and so we weren't able to bring the kids (the only "dim spot" … Continue reading Truly Rich Reflections (of sorts): `Tis the Season to Be Champions! 🙂

Truly Rich Reflections: The Truth About My Pregnancy (Or The One in Which I Ask for Your Prayers)

I've been contemplating on writing this post for the longest time now. I had to wait for hubby's go-signal to actually do so.

Truly Rich Reflections: Job 1: 21 — Thank You, Giovanni!

This is something I've been wanting to write since last Wednesday... right after we heard news that the one-year-old child of our friends, Santi and Vania, had passed away... all too suddenly and quickly. Just the day before, I had seen one of Santi's posts asking for prayers for healing for Giovanni, who had pneumonia. … Continue reading Truly Rich Reflections: Job 1: 21 — Thank You, Giovanni!

Truly Rich Reflections: In memory of Zachary Daniel

I meant to post this last Friday but was too exhausted to even turn on the computer when I got home. After a long day at work, I went to the necrological service of the son of one of my fellow homeschool mom bloggers, Michelle. He was born premature at around 30 weeks, and we … Continue reading Truly Rich Reflections: In memory of Zachary Daniel
