When it comes...

Proverbs 13:12

New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
 
In life we have hopes.  I also like to call them dreams.  Now, many times we have things lay on our hearts for years and nothing happens!  What you do with your dreams during that time is very important.  Don't let you dreams and hopes die.  Wait for them, they are for an appointed time.  Fan the flames by allowing yourself to think on them and pray about them.  You don't make them the focus of your life.  Jesus should be the focus of your life.  I am a living testimony that God will bring your dreams to pass.  It is happening to me right now.  God is opening doors of opportunity for me to do things that I have been dreaming of doing for years.  I literally have open doors in front of me.  One in which I have already walked through.  My first piece of wisdom on this, wait on the dreams that God has given you, they are for an appointed time.  What do you do when that time comes.  Will you delay????  Or will you allow that desire to become the tree of life that God intended it to become?   There is an issue here...................Blessings from God are never convenient.  I am at place in my life right now, where I'm kind of stopped in my tracks.  I have a lot of good things going on in my life right now and have no idea how to tend to all of them.  Even the dreams that God is bringing to pass right now.  I don't really know how to move forward.  I'm stopped in my tracks because I don't really know how to move forward.  Don't assume when God starts causing your dreams to come to pass that it's going to be convenient or you are just going to know what to do.  See God does things in such a way, so you will rely on Him.  My mind is brought back to King Solomon's prayer.

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. ...
