Starlit Dreams: My Home Birth Experience
http://ibelieveinparadise.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-home-birth-experience.html
Hopes, thoughts, prayers. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. My Home Birth Experience. Throughout this entire time my husband Charles was by my side, encouraging me and keeping me hydrated and nibbling on food here and there. Wednesday morning found me fully dilated. I was thrilled with the prospect that maybe an end was in sight. After all, it had been over 18 hours of labor at that point. It was around 1pm that I had my moment of discouragement. I had been pushing for hours. I did not seem to be progres...Charl...

Starlit Dreams: Brides and Grooms
http://ibelieveinparadise.blogspot.com/2011/04/brides-and-grooms.html
Hopes, thoughts, prayers. Friday, April 29, 2011. Weddings have been on my mind very frequently lately, as you can expect! Constantly my thoughts are on preparations, plans, concerns, and details. My appearance for "the day", our home, money, so much to consider! So when I realize that I have to share a story/thought in church tomorrow I decided to look up "brides" in the a commentary of the Bible. Amongst other verses two verses in Isaiah jumped out at me. What beautiful imagery it is! To be with each o...

Starlit Dreams: Stressful Changes
http://ibelieveinparadise.blogspot.com/2011/01/stressful-changes.html
Hopes, thoughts, prayers. Friday, January 7, 2011. Life is stressful.can I get an "Amen"? The more aware of life that I get, I have come to that solid conclusion: Life is Stressful! It seems to me that at the foundation of this stressful life is one specific thing: change. Now there may be other things we could point at but for the sake of this little writing, I am looking at change.). I wish to ask, who never changes? Of course we know the answer to that! Who better to receive that from than the infinit...

Starlit Dreams: August 2010
http://ibelieveinparadise.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Hopes, thoughts, prayers. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Tiny as a Pin Hole. Completely gone. With the help of my friend Ben who is a car buff, we were able to determine the problem. I had a leak in my break fluid line over my right rear tire. And thus I had no pressure in my breaks. I asked him how big the leak was, "oh, probably the size of a pin hole." A pin hole! My whole car could have come to a crashing stop over a pin hole! James 4:7-8 says, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and h...

Starlit Dreams: November 2009
http://ibelieveinparadise.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Hopes, thoughts, prayers. Wednesday, November 4, 2009. Perhaps because I am older and life is changing as well as the seasons, I can not help but be melancholy as I gaze at the bare trees outside my window. There is excitement in change. It is exciting to see the brilliant colors. It is exciting to watch the green turn to red, orange, or yellow. But the excitement fades as all the leaves eventually turn to brown. They will fall from the tree and are no more. We grow, mature, and then fade.

Starlit Dreams: On Marriage
http://ibelieveinparadise.blogspot.com/2012/04/on-marriage.html
Hopes, thoughts, prayers. Monday, April 30, 2012. I have been wanting to write a post on marriage yet it is hard to gather all my thoughts. So to preface this: these are my. I am not an authority as we have been married -hard to believe- about 11 months. But in this past year I have come to realize many things about marriage and desire to share what I have learned; in the hope that perhaps it may bless someone. A friend of ours gave us a book for a wedding present (which I highly recommend: "For Better o...
