Don't miss your moment!

We all know life can be mundane.  Repitition and routine is good!  Perservering in the mundane is good!  Eventually you will look up and realize your moment has come!  What do I mean?  Well,  you have nurtured life all around you for many years, you have encouraged people in their dreams and goals.  You have listened and offered guidance.  You have celebrated with others in their moments.  You have been excited for others.  But there comes a time where God says "It's your turn".  It's time for others to nurture your dreams, it's time for others to offer their insight to you and help guide you, it's time for people to celebrate and become excited for you.  Over the years you have sat in a certain role in the lives of others and to transition to another seat, if you will, can cause guilt, don't let it!  You might be tempted to feel guilty about others sitting in a position that you use to sit in.  But the Holy Spirit tells me "Enjoy it".  Ask God to surround you with people who want to encourage you, listen to you and celebrate with you and "enjoy it".  I just got off the phone with my loving cousin and she has so much going on already, but God used her to birth something in me and I know for a fact that she has the insight to guide me in it.  I just bombarded her with the steps that I was taking thus far in my new endeaver.  I felt guilty because I'm so use to asking others about their lives and focusing on what their doing, not use to focusing on what I'm doing.  But God says "enjoy this time".  Most of life is a valley experience, so when you are having mountaintop experiences, you have to enjoy them!  When God does something in your life where He is like "ok, I know you have been siting in this particular seat in the lives of others for a long time, but I want you to change your seat right now and sit over here instead"  don't feel bad about that.  When God changes where you sit, you get to view the world around you and the people from a different perspective; and the world gets to view you from a different perspective.  You'll also notice  that as you change seats, the positioning of the people around you automatically shifts, because you shifted.  Be mindful of the shifting, because it speaks of the roles the people play in your life during this particular season.

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. ...
