Presents in the Pulpit

When I walked into the church sanctuary yesterday, I noticed the pulpit was adorned with beautiful poinsettias and presents. I accepted the poinsettias, but the presents didn’t settle with me very well. I know it’s the Christmas season, but what’s…

LaVender replied to adrienne strachn's discussion 'WHO LOVES A NAGGING HUSBAND, OR HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE IT?'

If he hasn't always been this way, it may be something else that is bothering him. For whatever reason, spouses feel comfortable taking things out on each other - it's safer. Find a good time (if there is one) when he's in a good mood (preferably aw…

Lean not to your own understand (or ours), but in ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your pathS. Spirit, fast and pray and you will know exactly what to do by the peace or lack of that you have in the decisions you need to make. The e…

LaVender replied to adrienne strachn's discussion 'WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF...?'

I love the boldness to speak my mind that God has given me. Yes, it gets me in trouble sometimes, but I'm learning when to speak and when to shutup.

We Interrupt This Life...

It’s such a blessing to be surrounded by family when I visit my parents’ home for the holidays, but it’s very difficult to find a quiet place to renew my mind. Saturday morning, I awoke very early to exercise and thought I succeeded at finding a minute alone until my father walked into the room. He said he was going to stop me from exercising because he needed to say something. Daddy, are you kidding me?

My father began his conversation by stating why he didn’t have a problem stopping me… Continue

The Other Woman

I'm fully aware of the other woman in my husband's life. I've seen her on countless occasions and I can usually tell exactly what day she decides to surface. She's the most bold woman I have ever known.

I know it's strange reading this here, but writing is healing for me. Yes, it's time for me to be transparent about even this.

How can I remain so calm? Well, I'm not calm about it at all and her periodic visits with hubby upset me, but what can I do? Sometimes it scares me that she would actua… Continue

Marriage and Money - Joint Account, Separate Account, or Secret Stash?

In our early years of marriage, hubby and I had a joint account. It worked out fine because we were newly married, basking in oneness, and covered in a blanket of blissful matrimony. We both were working and pulled our incomes together to pay the bills. We were a team!

Well, things changed when I retired fro… Continue

This is not a topic that can be discussed with just anybody, not everybody understands or are willing to accept what it means to be submissive to your husband. But as I grow spiritually, there is a "freedom" I am feeling. It feels good to "let go and let God"...Have a blessed and joyful Christmas.

I will develop a tax plan for you to follow and lead you on your way to beating the IRS. Did you know that the key to beating the IRS is planning! You have to plan to succeed.

Currently I don't have a website. I'm still working on developing the page. I'm also in the middle of completing all of these business forms. But, you all will be the first to know when Suga Mama's website is up and running.

Also, does anyone know any great graphic designers that are affordable? Remember this mama is a SAHM.
