Receive the "quiet" before the noise

Let me start by saying that "Whatever you are lacking in your life, God is fully capable of getting you there"  God is fully capable of positioning you for blessing.  Don't worry about trying to positioning yourself because you cannot.  Trust God to do it.  I have had a heavy change going on in my life and spirit.  I had been having nudges from the Holy Spirit to make some changes in my life and be more committed to the tasks that have been assigned to me.  That nudge from the Holy Spirit got stronger and stronger, soon God started to speak to me about why I needed to be committed to what He had assigned to me.  Let me say that, I had already been committed to my marriage, to my kids, to being a stay-at-home mom.  I have been doing it for almost 8 years.  But God was not speaking about my natural roles, He was speaking about my "assignments" beyond that.  There are things that God has assigned me to do, late at night when my kids have gone to bed.  I work with a Christian organization online and even though I had a schedule, I would allow my tiredness to get to me at the end of the day and I wouldn't get online to coach.  That' s what I do with the organization, I am a Christian, spiritual coach.  I am suppose to coach Mon - Wed between 10:00 and 12am.  I had been skipping days just because I was tired after being at home with a toddler all day and taking care of my family in the evening.  What was happening is that I started to become very tired during the day as well, even when I skipped getting online to coach the night before.  It seems the more rest I tried to get, the more fustrated I became because I was still tired.  Then I started hearing inside my heart that "If I needed more, to give more".  I believe God was saying to me that if I need more rest than I need to be more committed to staying up to do His work at night.  It still took me awhile to actually start doing that.  God started speaking to me about how my supply was in the roles I had beyond my natural roles and how my power was there.  He started to show me how being committed to the coaching would give me power in other areas of my life and supply me with what I needed to be effective in my natural roles (mother, wife, etc.).  Finally, after God spoke to me about that, I started coaching the 3 nights I was suppose to instead of taking off because I was tired.  God was right, I started to have more energy then when I was taking time off, from coaching, to rest.  Then I started to sense another nudging from the Holy Spirit about my getting up earlier than everybody else to get with God in the morning.  This too, took a awhile for me.  The nudging was persistent, then God started to speak to me about how "What you do in secret, will give you power in the daytime".  I also sensed I was being led to dedicate a private space to God. God was not only asking for my time but physical territory to be dedicated to Him.  As God was speaking to me about this, I was starting to find that I was getting fustrated in the mornings because I just started to feel I wasn't getting the time I needed with God, while my son watched his shows.  It just wasn't enough.  I started to sense a lack of direction in my days.  While, at the same time God is making some big changes in my life and expanding certain areas of my life.  Needless to say, I really did not see that I had a choice in the matter.  I had to start getting with God in the morning.  It seems the way I have been doing things for years is no longer adequate.  There is a greater demand now and it requires greater supply.   Now that I have started to spend time with God, it's been hit and miss a little bit, but God is still pushing for consistency, because what I keep hearing today in my spirit is that if I don't do it early in the morning; when the day starts it's too late.  If I don't meet with God in the morning before everybody gets up, it will be too late for me to get what I need from God to ,ove forward in my day with a strong sense of direction in the decisions I make.   The great news is that I get to start all over tomorrow, but I know what I'm hearing is that

"If you don't get what you need first thing in the morning, it will be to late for that day". I'm not saying this is for everybody, but this is what God is telling me.  God is telling me that everything I need for that day will be supplied during my quiet time with Him in the morning.  It's the only way.

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. ...
