Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

I want to encourage everyone reading this, that God is good and He has a good life planned for you, if you let Him be Lord of your life and show you.  Look, I know you have been programmed to want things to happen fast, we all have.  It's a fight to wait on God.  It's a fight to just rest in Him.  But let me encourage  you, I have seen more good coming into my life by just resting and waiting on Him, than I ever have trying to rush and make things happen.  Anything you make happen in your life is shortlived and temporary.  But whatever God brings into your life will stand and nobody can take it away.  A life of peace and joy can unfold if you just give God time to work in your life.  Yeah, I know it's painful and it almost feels like you are being pressed on all sides as you wait.  But the crushing is good, because just like when olives are pressed you get the oil.  So to, must you be pressed for the annointing of the Lord to flow in your life.  As I was sitting here today, I felt the Holy Spirit say to me "Just wait, it's coming".  Once you let go completely is when you really see the flow of God in your life.  I am so close to that point of completely letting go.  I know I'm still holding on to a little bit.  But I'm so close to letting that little bit go.  Even in that, I wait for God to help me let go.

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. ...
