My time or His time??

Good Afternoon!!!

This is the first day of kindergarten for my daughter.  My 15 month old son Carson is home with me.  Well, since he was born, my daughter and him have been home with me for most of the day everyday.  Today I was tempted to just go on a rampage when he took a nap, he can finally take a long nap without his sister waking him out of it and I was so tempted to do all the things that I have not been able to do with my daughter at home; clean, organize, take a quick shower.  But then I realized that I didn't want to take possession of my time, I wanted to commit it to God.  This is the first day of a new season for me, and before I decide what I'm going to do with the time that I have, I want to commit it all to God. 

It's like the tithe, many times we already have plans for our money before we get it.  But if we give it to God first, we have to believe He will perform the supernatural with the rest of it. 

My devotion today was Psalm 118:28

Psalm 118:28

New International Version (NIV)
28 You are my God, and I will praise you;
    you are my God, and I will exalt you.
 
 
I may not smell too good right now, but I say "God I give my time to you first"
My house may not be the cleanest, but I say "God I give my time to you first"
I have projects to finish around the house, but I say God I give my time to you first"

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. ...
