IDoing things in a way that make for peace at home, does not always feel like an option. Many times I put pressure on myself in ways that make me uptight instead of peaceful. This affects my husband and my kids. I am becoming more and more sensitive to it. Sometimes I feel like I have to pressure myself. I'm not sure if that's true. I truly get the most done when I'm inspired/motivated, not pressured. Trying to get stuff done by putting pressure on yourself, is like walking on a treadmill.

The Holy Spirit leads to inspiration and inspiration leads to peace, health and wholeness. Letting the Holy Spirit lead you might not get things done as fast as you want them done, but it will lead to something much greater then just an item checked off you to-do list

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. A thou
