START WITH GOD

This morning I was ready to start doing invoices which I have fallen a great deal behind on, when I hear God say "Start the day with me".  I say "I really need to do the invoices, remember I started the day with You when I listened to the scriptures on that t.v. show this morning".  I still hear God say "Start the day with me".  So hear I am starting the day with God.  This morning I was starting out the day looking at my house, my work, my day wondering how I was ever going to do it. I was looking at how untogether my house was, I was looking at the invoices that I must catch up on, I was looking at the appointment my husband and I have with next day blinds at our house at 10am.  I was looking at all these things instead of looking at Jesus.  When we wake up in the morning, what we look at has a huge impact on how our day is going to unfold.  It's almost predictable.  I am reminded of Peter walking on water.  The bible says in Matthew 14:30 that as soon as Peter saw that "the wind was boisterous" he started to sink. I wonder if Peter would have started to sink if he kept his eyes on Jesus?  I don't think we can sink if we keep our eyes on Jesus.  I think all things are possible if we keep our eyes on Jesus.  I know that sometimes you feel like if you don't focus on all the other things in your life something might fall through the cracks.  But Jesus will not let your life fall through the cracks if you keep your eyes on Him.  If you keep your eyes on Jesus your life can be bigger and more exciting then you could every imagine.  The eyes and the ears are so essential to living a successful life with God. Don't focus on the tasks at hand focus on Jesus.  Cover each task of the day in prayer before you begin so instead of your hands being on it, the hand of the Lord will be on it and bless it.

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. ...
