Uncomfortable with good results

Relying on the Lord does not feel good.  Trusting God on a daily basis is very uncomfortable.  As a stay-at-home mom to 2 young children.  My day can go in a variety of directions.  I really never know how it's gonna go and I never know how far spent I'm going to be come 3pm.  But what I do know; is if I commit my day to the Lord and ask Him to order my steps, I have the victory.  I know when I do this, know matter what else happens during the day, at the end of the day I will know for a fact that I gave my family what they needed from me that day.  I don't have to question this because God ordered my steps.  Did you know He is the God of all flesh.  I may not be able to get my flesh in check but God can whip up on my flesh and keep me in order  Everyday we wake up with a space on the inside of us that longs for God to step in.  Some of us fill that space up with other things, we depend on other things to get us started in the right direction for the day or we start our day with no direction at all.  See, everyday I wake up I need to be going somewhere with my life, see I'm a sojourner, a pilgrim here on this earth.  That's how I'm to live on a daily basis.  But only God knows where I should be going on a daily basis on this journey, so I have to seek Him.  He has a place for me to go today with Him.  Get out and go to a place that God wants to show you.  He wants to show you, He desires to lead you, let Him Genesis 12:1.

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. ...
