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

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
