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.

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. ...
