Seasonal Blessings

Last night was rough because it was the first night that I had Carson in his crib all night.  He is 4 months old.  He was waking up alot, needing to be soothed.  Prior to last night, Carson would maybe spend part of the night in his crib then part of the night sleeping on our huge ultra-comfortable sectional sofa downstairs with myself or my husband.  I knew that we would not be able to do this but for so long, but I also knew that I would know when it was time to go with the crib for the whole night.  I am one of those people, whereas I don't want to loose sleep if I don't have to.  Well, the time came.  The night before last I realized that the sleep I was getting in our prior sleeping arrangement was diminishing and Carson needed to get use to being in his crib.  So we did it and he did rather well, but it was the first night so I was up about 3 times in the middle of the night before he slept on thru.  But I know it was God's timing to put him in the crib because even though I was dead tired this morning, it was so much better than sleeping on the sofa.  I was very thankful for him to be in his crib and for me to be in my bed.  Hallelujah!  Praise Jesus!

I guess the point of the post is "timing".  When we do things at the right time in our lives, it is a blessing, no matter what happens.  I believe it is important to seek God's timing in every area of our lives.  To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1).  It's important to know and understand the seasons we are in so that we may behave accordingly and get the blessings of that season.  There are blessings for every season of life

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. ...
