Women of Christ Wednesday: Purposes Lost and Found

Last updated on: November 18, 2015 at 11:36 am By Monique Ocampo

Today’s Women of Christ Wednesday will be a bit different. I am going to share with you two books. These two books are about women who thought they lost everything when their lives were radically changed by unforeseen circumstances and yet, through the grace of God, they were able to find a new sense of purpose and gained an authentic, wonderful love along the way. The first book is Fractured, Not Broken, a memoir by Kelly Schaefer and M. Weidenbenner. Kelly... Read more

Gratitude Shown Through Doing Good

Last updated on: November 17, 2015 at 10:32 am By Monique Ocampo

From Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship Actions speak louder than words. It’s one thing to say that we are grateful and to keep a gratitude journal. Unfortunately, the things we write and meditate on will ring hollow if we don’t live a life of gratitude. Gratitude is more than just a feeling, after all. It’s something we do. “How exactly do I live a life of gratitude?” you ask. Find out here! Read more

A Night at the Movies with Charlie Brown and Snoopy (The Peanuts Movie)

Last updated on: November 16, 2015 at 1:28 pm By Monique Ocampo

Dedicated to Mrs. A, who introduced me to Charlie Brown and the whole gang in 4th grade. Like many kids, I grew up reading the Peanuts comic strips and watched the specials. So when I heard about how Blue Sky studios was making a 3D animated Peanuts movie, I was reluctant to see it until I saw the trailer and heard good things about it. This review will be spoiler-free because I want everyone to give this movie a chance.... Read more

Gratitude Shared With Others: Gratitude Bible Study Day 6

Last updated on: November 16, 2015 at 10:24 am By Monique Ocampo

From Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship Remember how I’ve been saying how gratitude starts from within and works its way outside of ourselves? This is where we start looking outside of ourselves for gratitude. Today’s passages are guidelines that instructs us on how we ought to behave towards others. It’s one thing to have an appreciation for the world and for ourselves, but how can we be grateful for other people, especially those we don’t particularly like? Find out here! Read more

Gratitude for Our Weaknesses

Last updated on: November 14, 2015 at 2:38 pm By Monique Ocampo

From Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship It seems almost counter-intuitive to acknowledge and accept our weaknesses. We live in a society that prizes confidence, bravery, people who stand up to those who bully others. It seems even more counter-intuitive to be thankful for our weaknesses. How can the worst parts of ourselves be any good to us in our lives? Find out the answers here! Read more

Gratitude for Our Gifts: Gratitude Day 5

Last updated on: November 13, 2015 at 9:17 am By Monique Ocampo

From Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship How thankful are we about ourselves and the gifts that we have? How do you see yourself? There’s a huge difference between totally hating yourself and acting like you’re queen of the universe and seeing yourself the way that God sees you. I think it’s safe to say that we all struggle with self-esteem issues. Read the rest here! Read more

From Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship: We have a lot of blessings in our lives that we tend to overlook. Even the daily annoyances we endure have are opportunities for us to gain more of God’s grace. We may not know what the overall purpose for everything is right now, but I’m the kind of person who likes to believe that there’s always something to be learned every day and that everything happens for a greater good.

Forgiveness: Doing the Unimaginable

Last updated on: November 12, 2015 at 8:08 am By Monique Ocampo

We have a lot of concepts of what forgiveness is and how it’s supposed to be done. When I was out with my friends yesterday, I passed by a woman who reminded me of someone who hurt me deeply. Back when I was in college, I had my first anxiety attack when I was presenting my writings in a class. The lady who triggered the anxiety attack showed no compassion towards me and thought that I would never become... Read more
