Don't hold back

Don't hold back from God.  We all go through things in our lives.  Things that keep us from giving our all.  We go through things that make us want to go into hiding.  We go through things that keep us from wanting any one person to know too much about us.  We go through things that keep us from getting close and keep others from getting to close to us.  We go through things that make us afraid to grab on to what God is placing in front of us.  But there comes a time where God is saying put it all on the line again for Me.  He is saying to do it for Him.  I think it was Job who said "Though He slay me, yet I will trust Him".  I don't know if you are like me and have gone through some things that may have quenched your fire for the Lord.  Maybe you have gone through some things that have made you question your annointing, calling, and/or gift.  I have been down this road.  As I have walked this road, God has been willing to show me that what He did in me and through me was real and hasn't changed.  Today, as I said to myself "I think I wanna pull back and wait a little longer, I'm not ready to put that much of myself out there again".  I sensed God say, "Don't hold anything back from Me".  I also sense God saying "Put it all on the line again and watch what I do"

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. ...
