God Gave Him to Me to Change My Life









My baby is an amazing blessing to my life.  God gave him to me to change my life. I lost my oldest sister and the devil got a hold of me through my pain. I found peace and joy in my son.  I never wanted kids, but he was what I needed. I chose natural birth for the delivery of my son. My son's father had two aunts that were pastors/evangelists and they preached to me about birth, and gave me a whole sermon from the bible about how God intended for birth to be because of the choices. They also prayed over my stomach so much that I had no complications my whole pregnancy nor during labor and delivery. I didn't feel a contraction or anything enough to want any medicine. Also my doctor was female, and explained to me what happens with the different methods for pain relief. I was afraid my son would get too much of the medicine in his system through me, and I didn't want him to be so high that I couldn't look in his eyes when I had him because he was asleep.  I had heard too many horror stories about the lifelong pain that comes from an epidural, so I went to all the natural birth classes that in Birmingham offered. I got myself right with God and I was at peace with my decision to go natural. There was nothing or any one that could change my mind. I wanted to feel it because I knew it would make my bond stronger with my son.

  Photos By: Felecia Causey Written By: Felecia Causey Proverbs 3:6 Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take I was able to visit Tiers of Sweetness, located in Wetumpka, Alabama. I had fun at this cute location. It reminded me of an old-fashioned small-town romance movie. The owners of the company, Cherryl and Denice, provided an overview of their lives and the history of Tiers of Sweetness. The cake-making sisters are a talented team. After completing a cake decorating course, Denice, who was previously a hair stylist, began her career as a cake decorator.   Cherryl joined her sister full-time after retiring from the Department of Conservation after 39 years of service. I adore how she saw her sister's vision and understood that her love and passion were revealed while assisting her. When I visited, the women were very  friendly. I was captivated by their account of how God served as their compass and mentor during their business efforts. They discovered

Featuring Interview with Cake Designer Nicole of OKC Cake Lady

Photos Provided By Nicole   Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm

Featuring Tea Town in Montgomery, AL

Image
Written By: Felecia Causey Tea Town is a family-owned restaurant located in Montgomery, AL.  It’s in a great location right off Vaughn Road, close to the AMC movie theater. The first thing that caught my attention was how clean it was.  I enjoyed how peaceful it seemed.  Oh, my goodness, my readers and followers know how important good customer service is to me.  The entire family that was there was so welcoming. I was impressed when they asked if I had any food allergies.  That was very courteous of them.    I wanted to get a little more background of this family.  Just by talking to Buu and Brandi I knew they were aiming to build relationships with their customers. Watching the interactions between them and each person that came through the door, told me that they would treat their customers like family.  It will definitely set them apart from many other restaurants in my book. Phat Trieu and Cam Thai came from Vietnam along with their kids.   They have been cooking for years and
