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...

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. ...
