Accountability from my readers

Well, in order to accomplish anything big we need to be accountable to somebody. There are some changes I would like to see take place in my everyday life, but it requires me to try some new things.  Now, I don't know if it's the season for these changes but I feel like it is.  I feel like this is the season where God is gentlly nudging me out of my comfort zone in different ways. 

But, I have to confess that I'm one of those people that starts things when I'm all excited, and then when the excitement starts to fade and life gets in the way, I let those things fall away.  The scripture text below describes me in many areas of life:

 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while.

I am asking God to forgive me for this and help me to become the person in the scripture text below:

23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

There are some things that I want to step out and do and I don't know if it's the season for these things or that God wants me to do it in these ways, but I'm going to find out.  Sometimes you have to step out on faith even when you don't have all the answers.  I want to start being more productive at home so I have more freedom with my children and others, so I'm going to do the Flylady Challenge.  Go to Flylady.net to see what I'm talking about.  I've tried her program before but never stuck to it.  Maybe it's not God's plan or maybe I just did not endure for long enough.  But I know if the Lord decides to breathe on this for me it could totally change my life and change me.  That's my post for today.  This is the season of going from the person who has no root in himself to being the person the bears fruit and produces.  Time to move forward and test the plan of God in this area of my 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.

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
