Sometimes I sit and wait

Awhile ago I wrote a post about being "on duty" as a SAHM.  When I have Noah all day, I'm normally "on duty" from 6:30am to about 8:30pm.  Sometimes I'm just "sitting and waiting"
Sitting and waiting for the next need, sitting and waiting to conjure up some energy to do the next chore, cook the next meal.  Sitting and waiting for my day to be over with and I can be "off duty".  I have to be careful during this season of my life because during my "sitting and waiting" I often times let my mind drift off to thinking I need to be doing something else with my life.  But I remind myself now that I am doing exactly what God wants me to be doing right now and I know it for a fact.  Sure, it's not necessarily glamorous. Sure, my days consist of pretty much the same stuff.   Sure, I get restless at times.  But one thing I know..........this all comes with the season of life that I am in right now and I count it a privilege and a gift to be where I'm at in my life today.  I am into being the best I can be in every season God has me in.  I truly believe I am becoming the best wife I can be and the best mom I can be; only God know what that means but I have seen myself grow and mature and become less selfish and more content in my life and I know that is all part of the fruit of staying focused on the assignment I have right now.  I pray I can continue to be focused.

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...
