Random "today" things

1. Volunteering taking care of horses - Hoping to get to do some riding as well. This is the first building block to pursuing one of my dreams. Today is Friday and I was suppose to do it today, but I had to set up some new files for my hubby's business. He has outgrown my little tabletop files, business is doing well. Plus I had to pack a bag for my daughter spending the night over grandma's. When I volunteer with the horses, I'm normally very tired and very dirty afterwards. I have to do it on days where I don't have anything else to do afterwards but shower and rest.

2. Hubby and I have date night tonite. Which makes 2 Fridays in a row. I'm excited! Last week we went to the Paladar Latin Kitchen and Rum bar. It was delish! Tonite we are going to Applebees, they have a new pasta dish that I really like.

3. Stay-at-home mom stuff - Try not to overspend especially when bored and if you have children in school and you are finding that spending money is becoming a big temptation, find something productive to do, something you enjoy, that doesn't cost money, preferably out of the house. Being at home is such a blessing but it comes with it's own challenges and temptations. Sometimes you really don't know what you want to do with all that time you have yet. Pray about it and learn to wait for God to show you. Which lead me to something else

4. I'm going to be starting to sell Avon. I'm very excited because it's such a great company that been around for awhile, everybody knows them, they have lots of variety at reasonable prices, it's only 10.00 to get started. That's not all I'm going to do though, it's just the beginning.........

5. This is definitely the season for me to be stepping out into my endeavers. I know it in my soul.

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. ...
