Feature Friday

Congratulations, you made it through another week in the life of a Saved M.O.M.! Here at savedmom.com we take time out on Fridays to feature a Saved M.O.M.. There are so many wonderful mothers that don’t get the recognition they deserve. I am proud to say that this week’s Feature Friday is dedicated to Virginia Teresa Robles Belizaire. She currently resides in Smyrna, GA. Virginia has a very active lifestyle serving as wife, mother of four, entrepreneur, medical esthetician/wellness coordinator, doula, certified childbirth educator, and assistant faith group leader (for a married couples fellowship group).

Virginia knew the Lord as a young child. During our interview she explained, “I grew up around my grandmother; she was saved, Holy Ghost filled and fire baptized. She was my first spiritual influence but it wasn’t until I lived with my sister that I really made a true commitment to God.” During this time Virginia would often see her sister attending church. She noticed that her sister really made a lifestyle change once she started going to church and this inspired her to seek God more. Virginia started watching TBN and other spiritual television shows. She said, “My sister busted me out about not going to church and just watching the word on TV. I later decided to join her at church. I experienced the true and living God during service and became filled with the Holy Ghost on that day in May of 1999.” Virginia shared that life hasn’t been the same since that moment.

When I asked Virginia what being a Saved M.O.M. means to her, she said, “It’s a higher priority and obligation to walk in the fruit of the spirit. We shouldn’t neglect God because we are tired, tending to crying babies, cooking or cleaning. It’s so not about us anymore, it’s about the kids that the Lord has entrusted us to raise.”

Virginia has a strong belief that we must take care of ourselves spiritually and physically. Health is very important to her. She believes 110% in her Juice Plus business. She said, “Moms who want better nutrition for themselves before, during and after pregnancy should be on a regular Juice Plus regiment. It’s even great for toddlers and children.” Virginia has an awesome testimony that her Juice Plus regiment along with her faith in God allowed her to have twins earlier this year with no health problems during her pregnancy. Her twins were born in perfect health weighing in at over six pounds each! To learn more about Juice Plus you can go to www.juiceplus.com/+vr21139. She advises that you listen to Dr. William Sears (a prominent Pediatric doctor) on her home page as he explains the importance of vitamins and nutrition for your children. Virginia said, “Juice Plus is a great way to stay healthy and make money.” She is a strong proponent of chiropractic health as well. She works alongside her husband at Agape Chiropractic in Smyrna, GA (www.agapechirospa.com).

Virginia closed the interview by sharing, “As a parent of an adult, forgiveness, if it has not yet been learned, needs to be learned and practiced daily. We must always walk in forgiveness and definitely remember to forgive ourselves.” Her favorite scriptures are Proverbs 3:5-6 and 2 Corinthians 5:17.
