Monthly mood cycles.

I am tracking my monthly mood cycles because I am trying to better discern when I need to change things up in my routine as opposed to pressing through it. It's March 1st and I'm feeling like I'm on a hamster wheel
AGAIN with my life. I'm starting to numb up and feel like a robot. Not really feeling engaged in life, but rather just doing life. I still recognize God's miraculous hand in things but I'm thinking this is on of those times I have to switch things up a bit. Although life is hard I believe in being completely engaged in the life that God has given us and I believe in life being completely felt. Feeling the pain of the "hard times", the joy of the "good times", the blah's of the "so-so" times. It all has purpose. I think the challenge of switching things up is doing so while staying in the realm of responsibility. Even harder to do when you have young children. Determining what you can let go of for a time and what you shouldn't "let go".
Housecleaning is one of those things you can let go of a little bit
Cooking, I don't like to let go of.
I don't know what else but I will figure it out.

I'm signing off. Gotta do my budget. Something I can't let go of.

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. ...
