Unique messages for you

What do you need to fill your ears with during this season of your life?

I truly believe that God has specific message for certain seasons of your life.  It's important to know what the nature of those messages are and to not cloud your vision with other messages.

For the last 4 months or so, God has been leading me to constantly listen to messages on grace, rest, wisdom and faith.  The messages He has been leading me to, do not focus on works or obedience, but rather on God's love and grace.  Not to say that messages on obedience and your works don't have their place, but right now God has not given those types of sermons a place in my life.  So I have had to purposely avoid listening to certain teachers of God's word and I have had to be very careful about taking in messages for the lives of others and making them my own.  It's very important to know what God wants to talk to you about right now in your life and allow Him to soak your life with what He wants for you right now, don't allow messages in that are not focused on where God has you focused to come in.  Very important, very important.

Another real important point that I am battling with right now, is not to live out past glories in my present life.  Don't try to be the person you were 3 years ago, no matter how many good things you were doing back then.  Lemme give a very real example.  I have an 8 month old son and a 5 year old daughter.  Before my son was born, when my daughter was younger I was very into doing planned out education actitivites with her at home.  I mean I would plan at least 1 hour worth of planned activities, a day, where she would do  crafts, and other manipulatives to teach her letters and numbers. Even as a baby I had her in little gym classes, I did mommy and me stuff, I was in MOPS, playgroups you name it.  She had a lot of structure.  Well, recently God keeps telling me not to try to be the mother that I was with one kid, with 2 kids.   You are trying to be somebody who had one child, that person is not going to work with 2 kids.  He almost presents it to me like it's 2 different people.  "Don't try to be the mother that you were with one child".  The hard but blessed thing about that, is that it's like starting all over.  Because you are like "Well, what kind of mother should I be?  I only know what i was.  I don't know anything else."  Praise God, because He can show you exactly who you are suppose to be in this season of your life, step by step, day by day.  As situations and circumstances change in your life, you absolutely cannot continue being the same person.  You can't hold on to who you were, because God wants to change  you from glory to glory.  Every season of your life is rich with blessings, but only the new person can receive them.  These blessing are not for the person you were, they are for the person that God is producing for this season of your life.  He has something for you that only a certain caliber of person can receive, and God is transforming you into that person.

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. ...
