Concluding the day

Well, it seems that I'm in a season of revelation about my life.  I have to admit it's nice.  There are things I've been thinking I ought to be doing but wasn't convinced that what I was sensing was correct so I didn't act on those things.  But now it seems as God is showing me exactly why I should be doing certain things.  Like when I get up in the morning doing my hair, makeup, and getting dressed first thing in the morning before I do anything else.  In theory this sounds good but I am a Stay-at-home mom and the motivation wasn't there to do it, even though I had read about many good reasons why you should start your day that way, but that just wasn't enough.  For some reason, God has chosen now to show exactly why I should do it and the impact it's having on me, my energy level and productivity if I don't.   So I'll start tomorrow.  There is another aspect of my routine with my daughter that I have been holding on to and I believe the Holy Spirit is nudging me to let it go.  It's one of those things I've been nervous about letting go of for a variety of reasons.  It's been a nudge that I've sensed in my heart since December.  I believe with this particular thing I need to test it for a week and see if this is truly something God is leading me to do.  Very happy about the prospect of my life and energy changing for the best!!

Testimony - great customers, great tips, $400 refunded from my school, Financial blessings

I had to blog about this.  I couldn't keep this to myself.  Something happened a couple days ago.  Just to share a little bit of the backstory before I tell you, my husband and I had a huge financial crisis about 3 years ago.  Things have gotten better little by little but it takes grind, especially on his part.  He is a great husband and dad so he takes pleasure in providing for his family.  This is a great entry point into what I'm about to share with you.  As we were approaching the beginning of the school year there were some other expenses approaching as well.  My husband and I believe our kids should be involved in extra curricular activities.  As they get older we feel they need constructive ways to channel their energy.  And they need to get away from the constant lure of the Ipad.  This is a big challenge for today's generation and you have to be proactive, especially with your children.  Anyway,  my daughter wa...

Starting your day

When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well.  I burn out pretty fast.  When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better.  Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD;       I will wait for the God of my salvation;       My God will hear me.  It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well.  When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day.  It helps me to not get "caught up"  I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up.  Noah is home from school, not feeling very well.  I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today.  I'm praying that I to would...

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone.  It's not my place.  I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see.  Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest.  I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?".  I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.  I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern.  The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media.  I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within .  Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. ...
