What's life about?

Today I was thinking about my life and how there are things that I really love doing but can't can't give my "all" to those things or have my life to revolve around them.  There are people out there that make their "business" their life.  There are people out there that make their "family" their life.  There are people out there that make "being healthy" there life.  There are people out there that make their "job" their life.  It's so tempting for me to pick something that I enjoy some much I want to make my life about that thing, but I can't.  It made me think of Acts 17:28
"In Him, I live and move and have my being".

My life is about whatever God want's it to be about at any given time.  That changes from day to day.  Having young children, obviously means tending to my home and my family take a big chunk of that.  But sometimes, I go outside the home and family and get to do something else that I really enjoy, like Zumba!  Then when I get to do it, I just want to do it all the time.  But I realize that God has given me a certain balance in my life.  In this present stage of life, He gives me success in my home; helping my husband, teaching my daughter, and keep house; and I have a sprinkle of some of the fun stuff outside the home.  But I would like to do more to stay in shape.  I'm getting older, so I'm hoping I get to do Zumba once a week.

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...

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy.  It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows.  And some desperate times.  It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it.  But marriage is worth fighting for.  You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok.  It's ok to not be ok.  It's ok to not be ok with your marriage.  It's ok to not be ok with your life.  Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over.  Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over.   In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude.  God has seen me in my struggle.  Struggling with my emotions.  Struggling with my desires.  Struggling to stay faithful.  He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this".  He didn't look at me ans say "I...

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...
