Prayer for Lana's Birth Day

As week 36 approaches, please join me in this prayer for Lana's upcoming Birth Day.

Dear Abba,
Thank you for choosing Chris and I to bestow the blessing of this coming child. Thank you that she is fearfully and wonderfully made. We trust your timing for her arrival and for her safe and gentle passage into our arms. We are confident in the ultimate normalcy of birth, the design of the woman's body and trust baby and body to do what our minds cannot fathom.

We respect Your design for pregnancy and birth. Thank you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made to carry this unique and special baby girl and that my body was created to birth her. I ask for a gentle passage through the gate she will pass. I also ask for the instinctual wisdom and persistence in nurturing and nursing Lana. I accept Your calling of sacrifice of hard work during labor and birth without chemical means. I pray that the mental and emotional preparation will merge with spiritual preparation so that I can be at peace and focus on trusting you--the Creator of life in Your wisdom and plan for this child and this birth. I ask that my body open to the fullness of time under Your strength and my heart be turned to Lana in the perfection of Your love.

Please bless the hands of our midwives, Michelle and Debi. Thank you for their midwifery wisdom, support, comfort and guidance in this process as well as their presence and godly spirit.

Thank you for Chris, my husband, my best friend, my coach, who has supported me throughout pregnancy and will be my leaning post during labor. Give him hands and heart to know how to assist me during labor as coach. Thank you for the loving and godly father he will be to Lana and for the preparation of a daddy's tender heart for loving a little girl.

I rest in knowing You have been birthing babies for 6000 years and that life is your specialty. I trust You and surrender my own plans, even my hopes, to Your will.

In Jesus's name,
Amen.

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas If you need a protein, fiber packed snack, Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas is an easy one to satisfy a sweet tooth as well! I like to soak my chickpeas overnight in warm water with a bit of whey prior to cooking them. This helps break down the phytic acid.  This is a very forgiving recipe and you can change it up adding your favorite seasoning. If you like spicy, try adding some chili powder. Ingredients 2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Instructions Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. Toss chickpeas in the mixture. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

Fluffy dairy free pancakes

Fluffy dairy free pancakes Sadly, I’ve been dairy free due to my nursling who has a dairy issue. This has called for a good bit  of creativeness because dairy is such a big part of my family’s diet. I learned early on that water makes a sufficient substitute for fluffy dairy free pancakes; or almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk if you want to get fancy. I’m pretty particular about processing and ingredients so I take great strides to make my own or find minimally processed ingredients so sometimes water just has to work. I have also  found that eggs can make up taste when water is used. These pancakes are pretty fluffy on their own but I used large biscuit cutters to make them thick. You could use egg rings as well. If you choose to use to do this, be sure to oil the inside of the rings really well. These are by far a favorite pancake recipe.  Ignore my slightly burnt pastured, home cured bacon. I also use this same recipe to make bacon pancakes which is a...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...
