Glenda's Mom 70th Birthday

This post is in honor of my Mom’s 70th Birthday Today! 🎊

According to her, I was the biggest cry baby as a baby and toddler. 😭

As I was growing I remember testing the waters. 🤫

As I became a teenager I went from a little rebellious to a lot rebellious and becoming a Mom at 19 years of age. 🤰🏻

I do not regret a thing anymore… there was a time I did. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love my daughter too much to have regrets. 👧🏻

As I parented my own daughter, God spoke to me one day and reminded me that in order for me to expect any respect from my daughter, I needed to honor my own Mother. 😔

I set out to honor her in the best way that I could and still can as my time with her is being redeemed. 👵🏻

I pray each day to have so much time with her that neither her or I remember anything other than the new memories God is granting us to make! 🙇🏻‍♀️

“‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” Deuteronomy 5:16 📖

May we enjoy our loved ones while they are on earth because time is so short, we don’t know how long we have with them. 🙏🏽

Happy B-day to my Mom, Mami Rita! 💝

Hablemos de la Glotoneria por Glenda Krupnick

El 22 de mayo de 2024 , compartí una publicación en nuestras cuentas de redes sociales que generó muchos comentarios y me impulsó a reflexionar sobre un tema que a menudo se pasa por alto en la iglesia : la glotonería y su impacto en la salud física y mental. La primera respuesta fue un comentario grosero, pero no me ofendí porque había pedido comentarios. Poco después, una amiga me envió un mensaje sobre cómo había comido en exceso en un restaurante en el momento de ver nuestra publicación. Esto llevó a una conversación en la que compartí que superar la glotonería es como correr una maratón . Hebreos 12:1-4 nos anima a despojarnos del peso y los pecados que nos frenan, “y corramos con paciencia la carrera que tenemos por delante, puestos los ojos en Jesús, el autor y consumador de la fe”. ¡Creemos que esa es la clave! ¿Qué hace que algo sea pecado? Si se convierte en un ídolo, algo hacia lo que corremos en lugar de correr hacia Dios. En Éxodo 20:3-5, se nos ordena no tener otro...

Let's Talk About Gluttony! by Glenda Krupnick

On May 22, 2024 , I shared a post on our social media accounts that sparked a lot of feedback , prompting me to reflect on an often overlooked issue in the church: gluttony and its impact on physical and mental health. The first response was a rude comment, but I took no offense as I had asked for feedback. Shortly after, a friend messaged me about how she had overeaten at a restaurant at the time of our post. This led to a conversation where I shared that overcoming gluttony is like running a marathon . Hebrews 12:1-4 encourages us to throw off the weights and sins that hold us back, “and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” We believe that’s key! What makes something a sin? If it becomes an idol, something we run to instead of running to God. In Exodus 20:3-5, we are commanded to have no other gods, which was echoed by someone who said that food can keep us from going to God, a struggle we’v...

Reclaiming What's Rightfully Yours! by Glenda L Krupnick

As we step into this new year, I wanted to share a personal story that I believe will resonate with many of you. Let's call it a story of redemption, faith, and the power of reclaiming what is rightfully yours. M onths passed, and I began searching for ways to make extra money from home to be able to fund this project which to me has been like the baby Hannah prayed for that she just couldn't let go . Hannah's story is found in 1 Samuel 1. Hannah had everything any woman could ever ask for except a son. I have everything any woman could ever ask for, but I needed a purpose. I have experienced purpose filled seasons, but this one project would allow me to share God's goodness in my life with the world and influence others for purpose to live with faith filled intention but I digress to the story. We want to encourage you to let that be the beginning or recommitment of your life with Jesus. Don't give what is yours, or His I should say, your purpose to whoever or w...
