A new chicken lasagna recipe is coming on the other blog this morning.....don't miss it!!!!!! When I get an oven I am going to prepare it...yummy!!!!!! I got the sweetest email from a friend today that follows me on Facebook and just made my day. She has given me permission to share so be on the look out for that. How are you doing? How is your Word for 2012 changing you, challenging you,

Things are going well. I am learning to live again so to speak without the stress of going to school and trying to figure out how to manage all of it. Thank You Jesus!!!!!!! He has blessed me with a clear head enough to figure out a running/exercise schedule that seems to working like a charm. Yes, I can work 3rd shift and still go to the gym.....who knew?????? The itch to make a quilt has

Well, if you follow me on FB you know that I had registered for classes at GTCC. Pam had decided to do this. Pam took it upon herself to register and add more to her plate. Pam was going to prove to others that she can handle anything. I am sure if you read that you know exactly where this is going. My sweet Hubby and wonderful parents allowed me to sort through what was going on. I finally

For sure my 2 words are all I have thought about today. I went yesterday to get my books for school. Drove around for an hour and finally got a parking place. Got in and the line was 3 stories and then snaked around for several loops. It was cold and raining and I was exhausted. Came home and logged on to Hubby's computer and just had to swallow hard when I saw all the stuff I have to do.

Well, I am finding it absolutely amazing theat He has done it again another year. I realize it is only the 5th but I can tell you I see His finger prints everywhere. Just amazing!!!! Being desperately dependent can be difficult. I know we have all heard the saying about, you can't depend on people because they will let you down. Yes they will. Yes they do. But guess what? He will never

Well, you may have thought I lost my mind when I wrote my 2 words. People don't like words like desperate or dependence and much less put them together like desperate dependence. So let me try to explain a little bit. This may or may not make a lot of sense to you and its kind of hard to wrap your head around. So let's get started. First is desperate. What a word!!!!!

Well I am coming to you from my new iPad. Thanks to my son Kyle. I just love it!! I am having to get used to working on a touch screen but just love it so far. Of course Kaleb loves all the new games but doesn't realize he is learning in the process. That works for me for sure. Did you pick out a word for the New Year? I am always amazed at how He works all of that out. It's going to be a

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!  Can you believe it is actually 2012?  I guess the other question would be are we saying it is "Two Thousand Twelve" or are we saying it's "Twenty Twelve"?  Not that it really matters one way or the other.    So, it's time to talk about your Word for 2012.  Have you picked out one?  Were you lead to one and are wondering "What in the world?"  Amazing how that happens.

I have been blessed beyond measure with 2 boys.  Yes, they maybe 18 years apart but I wouldn't have it any other way.  They are both blessings.  I am just amazed that the Lord so richly blessed me with them.  Kaleb is 4 1/2 and keeps me young and on my toes.  He is a sweetheart and loves to snuggle.  He loves to make his point and make sure that you heard what he said and then make you laugh in

Well, things are for sure changing and going in different directions.  The key is to be positive and learn.  Problem is....I can't seem to be very positive.  It kind of feels like being so wrapped up in your circumstances that you can't see past the end of your nose. I have been here before. I don't like it. I want to get past it. I'm done with it but it just seems to continue to be there.  Just

If you have been following me, you know of my adventure this spring/summer about going back to school and the adventure of getting ready and then having everything turned upside down by being offered a job that I NEVER saw coming!!!! Now I have a big decision and choice or choices to make. I have Pell Grant Money for the Spring Semester and now the choice of

This will be very short but just wanted to share. We went to Ga. this past weekend and had a great time. Coming home was a bit ruff which included an overnight stay in a hotel which made me "ill" (not physically but attitude) because I just wanted to get home. Traffic, accidents, road construction and just to many cars in general made a simple 5 hour trip into 9+ and we stopped at a hotel. I was

We are having the blessing of going to Ga. for an early Thanksgiving with my parents and my brother will be there with his wife and we will all be together for the first time in almost 5 years for a holiday.

I have to admit I am VERY excited about the new blog.  It is what I would call a labor or love.  Alot of my passions all rolled into one website.  Actually, I was convicted today about the fact that scripture is NOT in the title.  I will be fixing that tonight.  It was just one of those things that I wanted to share with as many people as possible.  I would love to hear from you.

This has been the most fun.  I have posted on Twitter. I posted on Facebook and even on the sidebar here.  NOVEMBER 1st is coming!!!!!!!  I have had several ask me..."What's up?" Now, if I told everyone, that wouldn't be a surprise now would it? Right now I believe that only my Hubby knows what is coming and he won't tell!  No, I won't give you any hints.

Now before everyone starts having a fit...I am not quiting my job. I'm not even thinking it.  I just like to write.  I have a great friend named Peggy and another named Marsha that have always encouraged me to journal.  WRITE IT DOWN!!!  Well, that is what I do. I LOVE IT!!!!  Yes, and even some of my blog post are just an example of what you might find in my journal.  Sometimes things are a bit

Are you a writer? Do you journal? Have you ever thought about being a writer? Have you ever thought about starting a journal? Have you ever thought about writing a book about your life experience? Have you ever thought about writing study guides, devotionals and the like? I know I have.  I think , "I hated English in school. Every paper was marked with red pen". At the same time, now at the age

Working 3rd shift and trying to figure out my sleep pattern has been a little more difficult than I thought but I think I am getting the hang of it.  Last night was a 12 hour night.  It was a bit long but it was good.  I am actually doing great til about 4 or 4:30am when I would really like to go to bed but get some coffee and I can make it through.

Well, I had 3 days off and it's back to work tonight.  That's OK but I enjoy being home so much.  Well, I thought I had better get this posted because between trying to actually make it to the gym, being at work at 6:30 for a "Health Evaluation", trying to take a nap as well, I will probably not have enough time.

What an awesome and busy weekend.  Saturday night was AWESOME!!!!!  We try to get together with my brother Jeff and his wife Ashley when we can.  We are busy or he is driving or going camping.  So this time we planned a couple of weeks out and said that we would meet up and go to dinner.  Well, I thought about that and chose to just have them over instead. IT WAS A BLAST!!!  Kyle was even home,

This morning was a bit hectic.  We thought we had childcare at 8am.  We overslept and showed up at 8am but woke up at 7:20am.  It was a bit nuts.  We ended up in church for worship.  We evidently were suppose to be there last week.  Confusion but that's OK.  We worshipped!!!!!  Casting Crowns Song- Who am I.  Video was shown as intro to sermon based on Psalm 8.  I just loved it!!!!!!  It's one

Well, it is official.  I am done with training at work.  I have enough notes to choke a horse but feel pretty good about what I have learned.  I had 2 GREAT cheerleaders/trainers at work.  Gail worked and trained with me during the day time and Amber was my night time trainer.  It was a lot to take in but I feel REALLY good about it.  Of course, I am sure something totally unexpected will happen

OK, so I have been thinking.  Ever since Sunday and the message that I heard about an attitude of thankfulness.  They say that it takes 30 days to create or form a habit.  So why not make this a habit? Here's the challenge...... Every day, come up with 10 things that you are grateful for. Rules- can't repeat the same thing over and over and over. Yes, you maybe grateful for the same thing every

On Sunday, a beautiful fall morning, at church we celebrated The Lord's Supper.  It was a morning that I knew that I needed to be there.  The music was incredible. The soloist was awesome. The celebration was awesome.  The message.....well, I needed it and have been thinking about it ever since we left. It was a message that was really very simple and very basic.  Yet, at the same time it was

We were blessed to go to the beach this past weekend for some rest.  When I say rest, we REALLY rested.  I believe this is the first time that I have gone to the beach and not bought ANYTHING.  I mean we went to the outlets and walked around.  We went and had dinner at our favorite places but literally bought nothing.  Typically we buy clothes and house-stuff but not this time.  It was VERY

Well, it was time. Time to clean house and make some changes and see what happens.  I've been doing this blog for a while and thought that today was as good as any to make some changes.  Things that have changed..... 1. New Name (same web-address) 2. Clean lines 3. Narrow column for writing 4. Pages are now listed at the bottom. 5. Twitter is gone. (I don't have time to Tweet) 6. I'm not good at

Well lets just say that life has been turned upside down.  I started my new job, which by the way, 4 weeks in and still loving it. We have been so busy and trying to remember how I worked full time and and did everything else.  Not to mention, learning how to have the energy to work 2-12 hour days and balance everything has been such a challenge.  Funny how being out of work for 6 months can

I am not sure that I can even put into words what all has happened this week.  It has been like nothing else.  It was just another reminder for me that He is ultimately in control and Pam is not!!!!!  Grab a cup of coffee and lets get going on this because there is so much to share.

I missed the Friday Five from Sarah so I decided I would do a Saturday Six. Corny-yes but it was as good as I could get......So let's get started...... 1. I LOVE being a Doula.  The other week I attended my last birth for a while.  It was really kind of bittersweet.  It was of course a beautiful delivery and I am amazed at everyone.  I have chosen to take a brake for a bit while I am getting

At my old job, people would laugh and poke fun at what I would eat.  It's funny because I would bring something and they would turn their nose up and the next time they would all want some.  GO FIGURE!!!!  The big joke was that "Pam will eat anything including grass and twigs."  Well, they are partly right.  I love trail mix.  Hear me clearly.......I love what I make as trail mix.  I don't

What have you fallen in LOVE with this week? 1. I LOVE this new logo I found.  It's the Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon in the form of a runner.  I ran the Women's Only here in Greensboro one year and wrote someones name on it and gave it to her daughter.  2 years ago I ran in it and gave my number to Mama Jean.  This year I will run it for MY MOM and her name will be on my number!!!!!!!2.

Yes, the "C" word.  You know the one.  My Mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 17 years ago.  The Lord, ssurgery and radiation healed her.  This year, it has returned.  I wasn't sure what I would do.  I wasn't sure how I would react.  This is NOT about me.  This is about my Mom. Of course, the typical questions during prayer and quiet time.  The fear. The anger. The tears. The rejoicing in the

You know it's always going to be a busy week when it starts off with running errands.  I ran on Monday more errands that I thought and then came home.  My last "Mom" was going in at 7pm to be induced so I was already "on-call" for that.  Well, praise the Lord, she went in on her own.  AWESOME!!!!!!  They called when they were ready for me about 10:30pm.  Off to the hospital!!!!  I'm in "The Zone"

Friday Five!!!!!!!  Thank you so much Sarah for this idea!!!!!! So, lets get going!!!! 1. I LOVE my Bible.  There is no other book like it.  It is THE guide on how to live.  It is not just a book.  It is POWER!  Old AND New Testament.  2. I LOVE that I have a new job.  I haven't started it yet but I am so excited that at times I could bust!!!! 3. I LOVE new running shoes.  It is time for new

Today, I was driving and singing and there wasn't anyone in the car with me.  That was probably a good thing.  Anyway, JD Chandler from K-Love was on and mentioned a quote.  I've heard it a million times but today it was more. Don't tell God how big your problems are.  Tell your problems how BIG your GOD is!!!!! That was what I needed today.  There has been so much going on.  So much of this

Well, I have hinted for about a week that something was up.  The road was twisting and turning and going in directions that I didn't see coming.  So, it is now time to share.  I just didn't feel that it was time to share until I got a phone call on Friday.  It has taken me 2 days to get my thoughts together and figure out how in the world to put all of this into words and I may not do a very good

Yesterday I talked about Hairpin turns. Today it's a mole hill that seems to be a giant mountain at one minute and then the next it's not.  Emotions are nuts. Stress is getting me. Overwhelmed. What's next? What if? Why now? What is YOUR plan? Have you ever had this kind of day or days or week?  I can't say a lot publicly but there is just a lot coming at us at once.  There is a reason.

No where in scripture are we ever promised that our "road" of life will be smooth, comfortable and straight.  I have learned that more since April 29th than I ever wanted to. Goes back to the "Word for 2011" and my head is just spinning when I try to think through it all. Today is no different.  Today at 2pm will be another curve in the road.  This one feels like a one of the many "Hairpin"

Well, I hope that you enjoyed this week and reading all of the homebirth stories and being inspired by them.  It was a blessing to be able to have them sent to me and read them.  They are empowering and encouraging.  If you missed any of them, feel free to scroll down and take a look and take some time to read them.  Lots has been happening in the past week.  Because I was running the "special"

Choosing to homebirth was just seemed natural to me. (no pun intended). My first child was born at a birth center about 20 minutes from us and we had a great natural birth experience. It didn't turn out to be the negative torturous experience I'd anticipated at all, not pleasant, but totally normal! In the 4 years it took me to get pregnant again the birth center had closed, I'd had friends that

I never wanted children. Until I did want them, then I really wanted them! I was working as a middle school teacher at that time and it seemed that every time I turned around, one of my coworkers was being induced, having an episiotomy, vacuum extraction, c-section, etc. Having witnessed the birth of my sister in 1998, fast and unmedicated, and knowing that I myself was born at home (though

When my husband and I found out we were expecting we decided to go to a Birthing Center rather than a hospital. I was excited about the birthing center because it had more of a home feeling then a hospital does but was glad that it was close to a hospital. In case something didn’t go as planned we could get there in no time. That’s why I was nervous about having a home birth to begin with. I have

It wasn't until half way through my pregnancy of my first child that we even looked into a home birth. I had never really considered one or for that matter really heard much about it. I have a medical background in EMS and so I was very familiar of everything that could go wrong. My mom was also in nursing school and was studying, none other than, pregnancy and childbirth. Even still, we started

I had a hospital birth with many interventions with my first child, so I knew I wanted something different the next time. After he was born I started reading about all the dangers of the interventions and things some doctors and hospitals do, things the doctors never told me about, or how risky they could have been. While Rylan was perfect, I felt bad that I didn't have the birthing process I had

Well, I have always wanted to do this and this seemed like a good time to do it.  Homebirth has become something that we see and read a lot about in the news and on the Internet.  I know here in Greensboro, it was even in the paper last week and got front page of the Life section.  She was not a local homebirth mother but the article was awesome!!!!  If you had asked me 10 years ago what I

When I started out working as a Doula and knowing that it would require not only much of myself but much of my family.  Basically having to leave at a moment's (within the hour) notice and head to a hospital would be a stretch.  Not to mention, when I first started doing this, I was working full time as well.  I had so many people tell me.... "There is no way!" "How can you do that?" "What about

Things that I LOVE about running is the "Stuff"!!!!!!  I could buy "stuff" to live in.  When I was working full time, I wore scrubs ALL the time.  Real people clothes were only worn when going to church on Sunday.  Otherwise, I wore PJ Pants and a T-Shirt when I got home or else it was athletic shorts and T-Shirts on Saturdays.  I had clothes but just didn't really have the opportunity to wear

This particular Birth Story is written by a couple that were in my first class.  They were awesome!!!!!!!  They had their plans and as you will see, their plan didn't go exactly how they expected but when all was said and done, they would tell you, they wouldn't do any other way. The thing that I love the most and spoke with her via "e-mail" was that even though she had the epidural and pitocin,

I got into running by accident.  It was not my intent to run. I did it to get Michelle to be quiet and just leave me alone.  At the time, I was the biggest that I had ever been.  I was miserable. We were at The Y and she challenged me and well.....that was history.  All of that being said, I have accomplished numerous 5K's, 2 1/2 Half Marathons and 1 Full Marathon and returning to Myrtle Beach

Yes, I have logged in everyday to make sure that what I saw the other day is still there and that it was not a joke.  I'm still in total and complete AWE of the entire thing!!!!!!! Somethings have come up that I had time of frustration and disappointment with but that is over and it will all be fine.  I'm excited and scared to death all at the same time.  It's one of those things where I have to

Well, it is Sunday afternoon and the boys are busy. Well, let's say the youngest and the oldest are sleeping the middle one is picking up Alex at the beach.  It's quiet and I got some reading done and took a couple of practice test.  It has been a rough couple of weeks for me.  Knowing that I was returning to school IS exciting.  Now that I know what I am going for is even MORE exciting.

To be perfectly honest with that question would be stress and worry.  OK, There, I said it.  Done with that so lets move on.  Stress and worry are getting me no where except for in a tizzy.  You see, I sign up for classes on August 2nd.  It seems like an eternity away and I know that it is not. So, what is the big deal you ask......well, since you asked..... 1-What if I can't get in what I need?

So I shared the other day about this new direction of NURSING that we are headed. Well, I sat and poured over the 5 pages of criteria and the point system and what was next and where to start and was feeling good about what was happening but at the same time, fear, panic and a million other emotions were creeping in.  This past Tuesday there was a "Mandatory Nursing Student Meeting".  It's good

Well, once again, back out at the school.  I went the other day to do the testing and the computer locked up right before I was finished.  I was told to come back.  I thought "if I have to do the math part again, I am going to go back to work and push papers for the rest of my life".  I walked in this morning and Praise The Lord, it picked up where I left off!!!!!!  3 articles to read and answer

I hope that everyone is having an awesome day today.  Quiet here, hubby had to work and not sure what the plan maybe for later.  Update...... **I think I've chosen the path for school.  Still working on some details but just not sure yet but will keep you posted.  **Preparing for February and loving every minute of it.  It's been a long time.  I actually in all of my cleaning found pictures of

OK, so the "Side-Bar" got updated with "Cardio-Interval".  What in the world?  Well, I went this morning thinking that I didn't want to just run on the Treadmill.  That can get so boring so fast.  So I chose to do a little combination of all of my "favorite"(if you would call them that) things. So this is what became of my version of Cardio-Interval. Warm-Up 5 minutes on the treadmill just

We have a clean storage area on the balcony I have a box full of "stuff" to be shredded. Organized until I am blue in the face.

Made to Crave is a book written by Lysa Terkurst.  She is the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries.  I had heard about this book on the radio and they were actually reading from it in the mornings and she was on there and I just thought, "This is so simple. Why can't I seem to get it?"  Well, to be honest, I had kind of put it on the back burner for a while.  Then I get a Kindle for Mother's Day.

Yeah!!!!  The computer is back and I am a happy camper.  That would be putting it mildly!!!!!!  There has been so much that has happened and so much to share I am not sure even where to start.  It is simply mind-blowing and overwhelming.  First- we went to Reno NV for Hubby to bowl in the Nationals.  It was just awesome.  We had some interesting flights and lots of touch and go's there and back

So, if you have been following me, you know that the Lord had given me the word "Choice/Choose" this year.  Well, over and over and over I have seen it come up even when I was not expecting to but it would appear and BAM! it was a tap on the shoulder or could be a "HELLO ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!" kind of experience. Well, in light of all that is going on I have been making a lot of choices. I

Ok, so I make a post about everything is going good and things are moving along and then BAM!!!!!!  REALITY CHECK!!!!!!

Excited Joyful and the list could go on and on and on.  It is a time of learning and research and getting things done that I never had the time to do when I was working all the time.  Such as Cleaning

My name is Brittney and have known Pam since I was a small child. We know each other through the church I grew up in. My mom and Pam ran into each other about the time Ben(my husband) and I were beginning to tell people that we were expecting a little one. Pam told my mom that she was a doula and gave my mom several pamphlets and said for us to give her a call if we wanted any more information. I

Well, yesterday it was humid and misty and overcast and the perfect day to do some blogging. So, I wrote a letter of thanks to Kaleb's daycare, made some earrings and bracelets for his teachers and of course ordered cupcakes for them for tomorrow. Today will be his last day at his daycare center. I'm sad but I am happy at the same time to be able to spend more time with the Little Man. I have so

Well, this is the first week of being out of work.  Let me rephrase that.....being with out an 8:30am-5pm employment.  To say that it has been a difficult but learning 5 days would be an understatement.  Monday when everyone was getting ready for school and work, I stood over the laundry basket and just lost it because I felt so disjointed.

Well, things are for sure different. I don't think it is a mistake that I am in the midst of reading this book Dangerous Surrender.  I know for sure it is not. Why do I say that? Well, Friday afternoon I was told that due to economics I was being laid-off. What did you say? What just happened? Where in the world did that come from?

OK, well, I have to first tell you that I absolutely loved this chapter.  This was the chapter that was a chapter of remembering.  Those 4 words that she used through out the chapter were words that I can so easily relate to.  I have experienced them full force.  It is like nothing that you can ever explain.  "Gloriously Ruined" and "Seriously Disturbed".  Like she said in the book, when we

Thank you so much for the comments on the last post.  Can't tell you what that means.  I noted what Cindy said.  Confession-----I'm nervous to even start it.  I'm still struggling with Chapter 2. I also have to confess that the WITTY in Chapter 2 keeps coming back.  That is a difficult one!!!!!!!  Not to mention when she talks about "Surrender leads to peace"....OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!  This has

If you missed chapter 1, you can scroll down and read that chapter. That will give you an idea of where we are going and where we are headed. This was a tough chapter for me because it hit so close to home. If you are reading it, you may know exactly what I am talking about. It just shows how selfish we are. We are sooooo very selfish!!!!! The thought of giving up the keys to The Kingdom of Me

What is on your agenda for this weekend?  I am not sure for us.  Hubby still is having back spasms and pain so that kind of limits this and that but I don't have Childbirth Classes this weekend so that kind of opens things up a little bit.  Hopefully going to make a home visit on Sunday afternoon and then another next Sunday probably.  I just love it!!!!!!!!  That is so where my heart is!!!!!!
