Hi my name is Toni McFadden. I am 32 years old and I absolutely LOVE being a stay at home Mother and a wife to my amazing godly husband. My hope is just to write about my heart and what God is doing and changing in my heart. I desperately need Jesus, which is why my blog title is called At The Feet Of Christ. That is the place I always need to humbly be:)

When I look at these pictures I am reminded of how faithful God has been to my husband and I! This little boy has brought so much joy and laughter into our hearts and home and I could not imagine life without him. I love watching him grown day by day, week by week, and year by year. I pray The Lord would teach me how to nurture the gifts that I already see in him. Isaac loves to dance! He can memorize dances so easily and has some serious dances moves for a 3 year old. He loves Ross Lynch from Austin and Ally. He has the best smile I have ever seen! He can’t sleep without his guitar. Not only does he love music but he loves sports too. But the main thing I see is that he is a leader and not a follower. I pray that he would be the leader that his father is. I don’t want to just survive the toddler years I want to embrace them and be the parents God has called us to be so that in Isaac’s young and moldable years he will see that we live for a bigger purpose than ourselves. I want him to know and love God and through that his gifts would be used to honor and glorify the God who made him. Thank you Jesus for this precious gift that I adore with all my heart.
Happy birthday little man! I love you!

Day 1: Going Natural
Today March 17th 2013 marks a big day for me personally because I have finally decided to go all natural with my hair. That means no more relaxers for me! Its a big step for me because I’ve been relaxing my hair since I was 12 years old. Honestly I have believed the lie that I would not be beautiful if my hair was not straight. Its a lie that I am still struggling with even though I am committed to doing this!
I want my hair to be the way God created it to be. That is not to say that relaxing your hair is wrong but for me personally I have been letting society and my own insecurities determine what makes me feel beautiful and I am done with that.
Psalms 139:14 says that “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” and I need to start believing that whether my hair is relaxed or not.
As you can see from the photo my hair has been damaged by all the relaxers I have put in my hair over the years. My goal is to repair it and get it healthy and strong by naturally growing it out!
This is going to be a long journey! It will probably take me about year or more to grow out my hair but I am so ready!
I have been thinking about doing this for a while but I have recently been inspired by a girl I met in West Chester, PA, Kasheera. Her hair looks A-Mazing! Check out her website and journey at www.wildsunshinebliss.com
I have also enjoyed SimplYounique on youtube. She has awesome tips about growing your hair naturally as well!
Here starts my journey! I am really excited and know that this journey is more than just about hair!
