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

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
