It wasn’t about me trying to lose weight. It was all about emotions.
God created each one of us in our own unique way. Just like a snowflake we all hold a blueprint that differs one from another. It’s great to lose weight and keep our bodies healthy and strong, but it’s also important that we appreciate who we are today – with or without extra pounds.
We can start by living by the Spirit while we stop following the heart of discontentment and doubt.
It’s amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I’ve received and the love I get from them is just amazing.
I’m so happy and thankful I made it a point be a stay-at-home mom.
I really do feel like I’m in better shape and look better now – even after having three kids – than I did before.
My daughter’s dabbling in showbiz, and she’s done a few commercials. She’s auditioned for some movies and shows, so I’m letting her pursue that. I’m OK with it.
The cool thing about my profession is that I can do it until the day I die.
I’m always inspired by people who raise the bar, whether in their field of work, parenthood, or giving back.
It wasn’t always easy at times, having grown up on television and being in the entertainment industry.
I did a lot of my school on set. Some years I went to a private school for a couple of hours, and then I’d always finish up with a tutor. I couldn’t do full days, but I tried to maintain my friendships and some normalcy while doing a show.
Because my faith is important to me and then they wrote it in that my character I would be playing would also be a Christian, many people would often assume now that I’m playing myself on television. And I’m not.
My children have grown up around animals. They’re not scared of them.
It seems too easy to lie in the moment but you always have to tell more lies on top of it to cover your tracks.
Personally I’m an advocate for healthy marriages and families and I do a lot of speaking around the country sharing my faith and talking to women’s groups, even specifically about marriage.
When we invest in the things that matter most to us, that are within God’s unique design for each of us, I believe we will achieve a sense of balance in our lives.
Priorities and purpose help keep us on track.
I don’t think balance is ever achieved in the full sense of the word. Life is more like a juggling act, spinning plates in the air, allowing some to drop, and picking them back up or adding new ones when the timing is right.
Emotionally, I stay healthy by being grounded in the word of God, being open and honest, never being afraid to speak my mind in love, and having good communication with those around me.
My faith dictates a whole lot of what I’ll do.
I always loved watching and reading family-friendly mysteries growing up, like the shows Murder, She Wrote and Nancy Drew, and am thrilled to be bringing these New York Times best-selling books right into your living room on the small screen.
