Update on "me"

Writing about things helps me to keep my mind focused and on task.  It also helps me to stay balance.  So here we go.  I'm getting a little tired in the middle of my 15 minutes cleaning drills here, so I decided to write a little of what I have been learning.  I have learned that as a wife I can only be the best that I can be.  I can be a mom to my daughter and a wife to my husband.   I cannot determine what type of father my husband should be nor can I overcompensate for areas that might need work.  I can't be it all and do it all nor can I make anybody else do more.  I think I'm also learning that I need something in my life that I enjoy so much I could get lost in it.  Not that I would get lost in it, but I believe people need that one thing they enjoy doing that when they need to get lost in something for awhile they have something to turn to.  I don't believe in neglecting family and responsibilities but I do believe that sometimes you need a break, and you need to be able to turn to a hobby or something that you can get lost in to give you mind a break from you day to day grind.  I'm really praying I find that for myself.  Anyway, I'm getting ready to do 1 more 15 minute drill.  I don't know what's next.

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. ...
