Rewarding yourself

This is off the beaten path of what I've been posting lately, but it's on my mind.  This is definitely for women.  most of the women I know work ver hard.  Whether they are at home or working outside of the home.  One of the areas of home that I struggle with the most is getting the household chores done that need to be done on a daily basis. Keeping the kitchen clean, doing laundry, decorating, and projects that desparately need to be done.  There is a program that I've done before but couldn't' keep up with, called "Flying".  It is the FLY lady program.  FLY stands for Finally Loving Yourself.  This lady teaches women how to get your home under control.  One of the 2 most important componants of the program is rewarding yourself.  I never felt that part was very important so I didn't take it seriously, but now I realize how important it is.  But I realize she is trying show us how important it is to maintain balence in our lives.  The rewarding helps to maintain balence.  You need to indulge in something that is going to recharge you if you have your hands full with your work.  This is even good towards maintaining your relationship with God.  Matter-a-fact the reason why I've started the program again is because I want to get some things under control in my house so I can have more time to spend with God.  I already spend plenty of time with kids and hubby, but I would love to have more time to study the word of God.  Anybody interested in the program can go to www.flylady.net .

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 best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy.  It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows.  And some desperate times.  It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it.  But marriage is worth fighting for.  You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok.  It's ok to not be ok.  It's ok to not be ok with your marriage.  It's ok to not be ok with your life.  Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over.  Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over.   In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude.  God has seen me in my struggle.  Struggling with my emotions.  Struggling with my desires.  Struggling to stay faithful.  He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this".  He didn't look at me ans say "I can't believe you are
