    In this heartfelt and moving episode, "Be Hopeful Despite the Pain" Jennifer opens up to Veronica about her journey of coping with the unimaginable loss of her son. She shares the emotional challenges of dealing with grief, how she found strength in the darkest of times, and her message of hope for others who may be facing similar hardships.

    A word of consolation comes to us from
    2 Corinthians 12:9-11 The English Standard Version (ESV)

    But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

    Remember - you are fearfully and wonderfully made
    Be bless

    In this uplifting video, I share a personal journey from feeling down and out to finding renewed strength and joy. After experiencing a low moment, I decided to take a simple 20-minute walk to the South Side Shopping Center, and that small step transformed my day. The walk was therapeutic, helping me reconnect with myself, clear my mind, and appreciate the beauty around me. It reminded me of the importance of pushing through difficult times and embracing small victories.

    If you're feeling overwhelmed or alone, I encourage you to take a small step today—whether it’s a walk, a moment of quiet reflection, or simply doing something you enjoy. These actions can lift your spirit and bring you closer to healing. Remember, even in grief, there is hope, and God’s comfort is always within reach.

  • Finding Comfort and Healing in Times of Pain - Part 1
    Sep 3 2024

    Send us a text

    In this heartfelt and honest video, I open up about my journey through grief as a mother who has lost a child. This experience is one that profoundly affects the body, mind, and spirit, especially as anniversaries and memories resurface. I share the importance of being kind to yourself, allowing space to feel and process emotions without pressure or judgment from others.

    Grief is a unique journey for each person, and it's okay to take it one day at a time. Sometimes, the support we expect from others may not be there, but God always finds a way to send comfort, whether through unexpected people or quiet moments of peace. I encourage all who are grieving to find solace in loving memories, seek out small moments of joy, and remember that it's okay to take time for yourself.

    This message is also for those who want to support someone in grief: be gentle, understanding, and present. Even small gestures of kindness can make a big difference. Whether it's a text, a walk, or simply listening, your compassion can bring comfort during difficult times.

    To all who are walking this path of bereavement, remember that you are not alone. Let’s continue to lean on faith, cherish the memories, and move forward, knowing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

  • Take Time Out - For You!
    Aug 27 2024

    Send us a text

    In this Episode, "Take Time Out - For You!" I share a deeply personal journey, uncovering the profound impact of rest and spiritual rejuvenation. In our first chapter, "Embracing Love and Resting in Peace," I reflect on a weekend where I chose tranquility over routine, staying home from church to meditate on my spiritual and mental state. Overcoming the initial guilt, I rediscovered the power of quiet moments for reconnecting with God and self. This experience emphasized the invaluable role of love, unity, and fostering kindness within our communities.

    In the second chapter, "Finding True Peace and Joy," we explore the distractions of materialism and the allure of a glamorous lifestyle portrayed by social media. I highlight the fleeting nature of these superficial attractions and shift the focus to appreciating life's simple, yet profound moments. Birds in flight, children's laughter, and shared joys offer genuine contentment, far surpassing transient pleasures. Inspired by Colossians 3:14-15, we delve into the essence of love and gratitude, encouraging you to let the peace of Christ reign in your heart. Together, let's remember that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and find fulfillment in the beauty of everyday life.
