more grace Posted on January 21, 2014 By pamela I’m thankful to have woken early this morning… long before my alarm was to ring (and more thankful now, that I didn’t disregard the purpose and attempt to go back to sleep). I’ve come to see that, in these sorts of times, the Lord has work to do in me… Read more

three months = thm Posted on January 17, 2014 By pamela A little over three months ago, I ordered the Trim Healthy Mama book. I kept ‘stumbling’ into links and recipes during searches for health, no sugar and a few other search words I used each day googling for ‘healthy’ foods — or foods with no sugar. I would read recipes… Read more

THM… Seriously. Posted on November 11, 2013November 11, 2013 By pamela You know what? I like the Trim Healthy Mama (diet) plan. Seriously. I like it enough to think I’ll always like this plan.

I have so much hope bcz I’m so not alone and I’m so not seeing this as a diet but a different way of approaching health and nutrition. I say this bcz I’ve experienced… Read more
Discipline… THM Posted on November 6, 2013November 9, 2013 By pamela It seems to me that nothing spotlights the will or the flesh quite like discipline. I’ve found (yet again) that I surely relate well to the Biblical passage regarding the willing spirit and weak flesh.
