Strength made perfect in weakness

God says in His word that His strength is made perfect in in weakness.  He also says that His grace is sufficient for us.  Oh do I need to experience the truth of this scripture today.  It is hard to be weak.  It is hard to feel like you have nothing to give.  My daughter asked me to play a pizza game with her yesterday around 3pm and I knew it was my last ounce of energy.  I told her that.  I wanted to hold on to at least a little bit of energy.  I didn't want to give out my last little bit, but I know that it's God's will that I give what He has given to me.  So I gave my last ounce of energy by going up to the "play room" and playing with the kids.  But there was still the couple hours I get at night after the kids go to bed to get mental break.  Well lost that yesterday night to because Carson decided he did not want to go to sleep in his crib and wanted to be downstairs with me.  So today I am really clinging to this scripture, because when I don't get a mental break it really makes it hard to be loving to my children and it makes it hard to serve.  I don't feel like myself and all I want to do is escape for a little while.  I pray that as today is starting with a bit of a test, that it will end in a testimony of what God has done.  Here I am God your weak vessel, make a testimony of Your strength in my life today. Something that I can share about this scripture, help me to understand what this truth looks like in my life.  In Jesus name I pray, Amen

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. ...
