My name is Wendy. I have been pregnant 12 times in my life! I have / am raising 9 of those children. One child I gave up for adoption when I was in my 20s and the one prior to her and the one after her I chose to not have at all. That decision along with a few more allowed me to believe that I was NOT worthy of God's love.
My life has been eventful to say the least and God has called me to become what he told me I would be as a child. A Mom of MANY! A mom is simply someone who nurtures . . . not someone who gives birth to a human being. While it is true I do have many children . . . we must remember God is a humorous God and in giving me all of these children . . . well he has taught me to be humorous myself!
I really am unsure of how to start this blog and how to proceed with the ministry he has put in my heart and I am relying on the Holy Spirit to lead me. I have always believed in honesty yet I have lived hiding my biggest sins in the closet. I promise you this my friend by doing that I allowed the evil one to keep me from my work.
It was just this year that I captured the negative thoughts that the evil one has been whispering to me daily. Among them were phrases such as:
I had to make this leap of faith today and begin a blog when I had no idea what I would say! This is my opening blog and it is my intent to write daily here. Sharing my story with any who decide to read it. Remember our God is stronger, our God is Mighty through him all things are possible.

- I am not worthy
- I am not qualified to lead
- Who would listen to me
- I am a joke
- I am a murderer
It is my hope that with me allowing the Holy Spirit to work through me that I can help countless others avoid the trials and tribulations I have gone through myself . . . or at least to help them out of the pit of Hell quicker than I made my great escape!

May you have a blessed day,
Wendy, Mom of Many!

WOW Wendy, I am not sure what to say except that God is moving in you in amazing ways and he is using you. I am so proud and honored to know you. I pray he continues to give you the strength, and the courage to do his work. Rock on girl. Real proud of you. I hope I can host your blog on MBW site soon. Moms need to see this.
Indeed. I am honored to know you too Debbie . . . I must admit I am terrified of the results of my honesty but I know that comes from the enemy . . . as always God has me! Only took me about 40+ years to figure that out beyond a shadow of doubt! Please pray for me to keep focused . . . to listen and hear what it is I need to. We both know how shrewd the evil one is!
We hide in the closet so many times and not tell our stories, but I do know that we are worthy and God has chosen us to tell other women our struggles. Praying for direction and continue to be led my the Spirit of God.
God has called you to be BOLD and COURAGEOUS! WOW! Thanks for sharing yourself with us, Wendy! xoxo
So true. Thank you for your prayers. I look forward to working with you and helping others join us in our Mission!
xoxo all the glory be to God . . . I am being guided . . . frightened but willing to share how God's grace has carried me throughout everything I have faced in life.
I appreciate your openness. Father is ok with us all. He loves us and wants us to help others. You are a gift for many, not only your children, but for other mommies who need to hear your story. Love and blessings~Debbie Kessler

God loves us so much.. congrats on your Holy Spirit Boldness that allowed you to become so transparent in the beginning of your blogging experience.. and simply get ready.. for the overflow.. keep smiling
Shalonda! I sometimes shake my head at my boldness. That courage comes straight from the strength that God gives me! It is more proof that it is God working through me. I can only smile at what he does for me. Thank you for your encouraging words!
Happy Birthday Wendy! May you be as blessed today as you are a blessing to others and may G-d grant you many more years ahead filled with happiness and health.
Thanks for sharing your story
Thanks for always sharing your truth Wendy, even when those times in your life have been difficult or you felt "not worthy". May God continue to Bless You and your family.
Thank you! I just saw this message.
You are most welcome. I hope you check out the various chapters of my life. I am up to year 20 in my life and my 3rd pregnancy . . . about to write on my 4th!
<3 Thank you for your kind words Debbie. I pray God continues to Bless you and your family too.
God Bless you my sweet one........
ONE: I dont know what to say
TWO: I KNOW that God is going to use you in my life........ guess that's why i have procrastinated reading your entire story. It's easy for me to share with other how much GOD LOVES them, but to know it KNOW IT in every cell of my own body is going to be my breakthrough! So happy, and am ever so blessed to get to know you.
