How jealous is God?

As a woman I love for the man I love to want me all to himself. It makes me feel good. Well, the bible says that God wants us for Himself. The bible says He is a jealous God. In the bible God takes out whole nations for the sake of His people. This is whom we call "Father". Often times in the world we turn to worldly things to satisfy us and God, the Father wants us to turn to Him and only Him. Really, it's only Him that can truely satisfy. Jesus said that those who come to Him will never hunger and those who believe in Him will never thirst. God also wants to be our ultimate companion. Since becoming a mom and a wife, I have found out that God has a unique way that He wants our family to conduct our lives, and that requires me to walk alone with Him as times. I realize I need that, but it's uncomfortable for me. There is a quiet around me that I've never really been use to. But I think God really craves those opportunities to walk alone with me. It is so easy to rely on the "noise" and activity in your life. Like with newborns, white noise machines are so popular because the baby is so use to the noise in the womb, experts say that silence can be rather disturbing for them. Sometimes I think it is the same way with adults. We get so use to the "noise" in our lives, the quiet that comes from God at times can be almost disturbing. We shouldn't need "noise" in our lives in order to feel secure. We cannot become restless when God invites us into His eternal rest.

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. ...

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...
