Finding Safety Amongst Women in Sisterhood

Minimarie Doe Andrews

There are many women who have never found the safety in women friendships along with other female relationships in experiencing heartache, or what could be best described as disappointment in choosing to keep their distance in not wanting to entertain many women in company. There’s a tremendous empowerment amidst women that occurs within our spirits, our families, and in our communities when come together in a united bond of closeness that the enemy is against in being sure that he acts within our own inner demons in keeping us apart.

Breathe Mama : Beat The Holiday Blues and Beyond

Minimarie Doe Andrews

I love watching the holidays through the precious eyes of my children in seeing their excitement. Their innocence in not recognizing grown up emotions fully allowed me the safety to hide my feelings in being a bit more down this holiday season than usual; my children were protected in not carrying the burden of mommy's… Continue reading Breathe Mama : Beat The Holiday Blues and Beyond

Handling Distractions

Life will always have something going on in one fashion or another to throw us off focus with distractions. God never promised that we wouldn't encounter distractions, but the word of God is a blueprint to reel us back in line with organizing our priorities.

The Real Glow Up: Building Your Relationship with God

Minimarie Doe Andrews

I personally enjoy seeing people reflect on how far they've matured, look youthful in appearance despite a decade, or be in a happier place within their spirit in glowing. I however know that what the world may view as a glow up of outer beauty compares to nothing of the spiritual glow up that only developing a relationship with Christ can give that radiates from the inside out.

Six Traits Of Confident Moms

Minimarie Doe Andrews

I have learned that being a confident mom has nothing to do with perfection or implying it in effort. Growing as a confident mom is an inside job that takes self initiative. The women that we deem to be confident moms shouldn't be women that we feel are superior, emulate to compare, or feel jealous of.  We can be inspired by these women rather than intimated in taking our place within the walls of our own homes in loving, caring, and raising our children to grow in confidence for ourselves.

When God Closes The Door

I have precious memories of playing in my grandparents' front yard. I would often make mud pies decorating festively with leaves from their bushes.
