When ministry invades

If you are like me, there are some things you have been praying to take place in your life. My question to you is, what are you going to do when those things start to come to pass. Do you think it's going to be convenient when God actually starts answering the desires of your heart? Do you think your going to be able to tell God "I want that, but not yet"? Trust me on this, when God starts answering your prayers, it will not be at a convenient time or season in your life. Lemme say this one again, "it will not be in a convenient season in your life". You know how people say "Watch what you pray for". Well, there are some things I noticed about how God has designed me and what that means for my purpose in my home and outside my home. Based on that I have been praying for a long time about how I would like to see my life unfold. These prayers have been based on God's revealed purpose for my life. I have desparately wanted some things in my life. God is starting to move on those prayers, and I almost closed the door on a work God is beginning in my life, because "I'm thinking, it's not a good time". But God reminded me of what I have been praying for. God's blessings are never convenient and that is so we continue to have to rely on Him in the midst of Him blessing us. Lemme say this again, God's blessings are never convenient "this is so we have to continue to rely on Him in the midst of Him blessing us"

Oh my gosh, this just hit me "Don't be scared of your design". Oh my gosh, God is speaking to me "Don't be scared of your design".

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. ...
