Your life, your future, your hope

Get focused on the main thing that God wants you focused on right now, drain out the noise and distractions.  I believe all of us have a major contribution to make to this world, or else we wouldn't be here.  Began to ask God the hard but simple questions again: Why am I here? What is my purpose?  What is my family's purpose?  Don't feel like everything has to be religious when it comes to "purpose".  Matter-a-fact, that can be a stumbling block if you're not careful.  It has been for me in the past.  We can tend to compartmentalize God in our lives.  Like He only cares about certain parts of our lives, or like He only participates in certain areas of our lives.  But there is a scripture that says "In Him we live, and move, and have our very being" (Acts 17:28).  You see that word "being".  We are called human "beings".  You are in the process of becoming.  Becoming what?  All that God wants you to be in every area of life.  Start to ask God, "How He sees you" and He will show you something wonderful

But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”[a]
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.(1 Cor 2:8-10)

Do you want His Holy Spirit?  Do you want more of His Spirit?  He will give it to you.

Luke 11:13New King James Version (NKJV)
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

I have asked for more of His spirit so I can know more of His plans for me, so I can be more focused on what He wants me to be focused on.  Right now, we live in a world full of distractions and God has good plans for you, right here and right now.  But only He can show you what those plans are.  He will write them on your heart and you won't be able to shake them.  Those plans will began to resonate deep inside of you and they won't change from year to year as other things do, because God doesn't change.  There is something deep inside you that knocks, will you open the door?


Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20)

My message for tonite is that God has good plans for you

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  (Jeremiah 29:11)

 He is knocking, He is always knocking.  Even when you already know Him, He is knocking on the areas of Your life that you have not allowed Him into yet.  He will give you peace, He will give you a future and He will give you a hope.  A hope that will not disappoint you.

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. ...
