Look at the cross and LIVE!

My heart is so full today. My heart is full with the love of God and the awesome power of the cross. Praise God! I'm just so thankful that I wake up to a God who wants me just as I am. A God who appreciates who I am in a way that nobody else can, because He made me for Himself. He did not make me for anybody else, not my mother, not my father, not my husband, not my children. No, God made me for Himself. I belong to Him. He is the one Who takes care of me. He made me to need Him. There is a place on the inside of every human being that longs for God. He put that place there on the inside of us. This is the place where our true identity dwells. He did that because He is jealous for us and wants us to always be His. In the Book of Isaiah God says "Everyone who is called by my name Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him". Hallelujah! I was created for the glory of God and He has made it very clear that He has created me, He has formed me, and yes He has made me. I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Hallelujah! I'm not conceited! No, I'm not prideful. I just believe that God's work is good!

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...

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...

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. ...
