Don't get distracted

I heard people say things like "Life if what you make it"  "You decide your destiny".  I think these sayings are true to an extent.  We do have choices in life.  Sometimes the hard thing is focusing on what is going to be the "best" life for you and your family.  Our family has chosen a life that is of a slower pace, my husband has his own business and I am a full-time homemaker.  My daughter goes to school 2 days a week and has gymnastics on Monday evening.  Most of our time is spent in our home.  This has been hard for me since I was one of those people that couldn't sit still before I got married.  Although I have matured since then, it's still hard.  But I see how God has used our slower pace of life to keep us healthy as a family, it is absolutely undeniable!  But we live in a face paced culture so it's hard.  I think that you can choose to live a fast paced life and go for the gusto, but you could be sacrificing your health in some instances and your relationships.  I'm not saying that's bad.  I'm just saying that we pick and chose what's important to us in our lives and then we pursue that.  Everybody is different, God made us different.  For me the most important things are a stable home..............gotta go, I'll be back later.

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. ...
