What's wrong with a little passion

My husband and I got in a little argument today. I use to be a little nervous about getting into arguments in front of my 3 year old. But then I thought "What's wrong with a little passion". Most of the time when I argue with my husband it's because I am passionate about something. I believe many women are like that, it's great! It's how God created us. We are created to be "passionate". God is passionate, look at the scripture below:

John 2:13-16

13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. ¹⁵ When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. ¹⁶ And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

"Made a whip of cords" "Poured out the changers' money", "Overturned tables". Jesus was zealous for the temple of God, he was passionate about it.

Some people are passionate about things that aren't good; then there are some people who are not passionate about anything. I don't know I'm just kind of rambling right now. All I'm saying is that most of us have at least one principle or goal in our lives that means a lot to us. What's wrong with being a little passionate about it. That's it!

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. A thou

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you? I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now. I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well. Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have. There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you. It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you. God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence. There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard: Our hearts and our mouths. We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths. Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The dirty truth about discipline

I got up this morning, went through the 2 hour process of getting my kids ready for school. Once they were at school I came back home and decided I was going to read my bible, reflect on some things, and write some things down in my planner. Well guess what????? A wave of drowsiness washed over me.....................I had coffee in my hand and I still got so sleepy. So sleepy that I absolutely had to allow myself to drift off into a slumber. I had scheduled a workout at my favorite workout spot, Orange Theory. But I was so sleepy that I was tempted to cancel. Thanks to Orange Theory you can't cancel, the same day, via their app. You have to call and even then you might lose your class that you paid for. They normally have a waiting list for classes. With that said I forced my butt up and into action to get to my class. I'm so thankful to Orange Theory and the way they promote accountability, especially during this special time in my life. See God has me focused
