Friday Already!

Wow it's Friday already.  These weeks are going by quickly.  It's still early in the morning and I am kind of still waking up.  I'm not a morning person, but my 3 year old is very much an early bird.  She wakes at around 6:30am faithfully everyday.  I hope I wake up at some point today, lately I get tired just at the thought that I am going to be spending the whole day with our 3 year old.  She is pretty demanding, but I don't think it's her as much as it is me.  I've been at home full-time for almost 4 years now and I'm finally ready to step out and put my own twist on this role.  Being at home full-time has been a unique opportunity for me because it has forced me into a position where you have to get to know myself and be very comfortable with what I find out.

Today is just as much of a challenge as any other day but we are going over a friends house that I haven't seen in awhile.  I'm looking forward to that.  My husband and I are debating whether or not we are going to take advantage of the "Parent's Night Out" at my daughter's school.  Lord knows I could use any amount of time I can get to take a break from the routine of my 3 year old.  They are certainly creatures of habit.  If you don't take a break your days will all be the same.

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...

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...

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. ...
