Monday - "Things are always changing"

As I was watching an old movie I still enjoy just as much as when I was young or even more now; I realized how much things have changed and people have changed since the movie was made.  Even the artists, in the movie, have grown and changed so much. Some have entered into new areas of business and new areas of growth in the entertainment industry.  These artists were trailblazers and now have a position of honor in the music industry because of their earlier efforts and achievements. But my main point was that they did not stay the same.  God stays the same, but everything else and everybody else is constantly changing.  This Monday my focus is that "Things are always changing"  I pray that you let that statement encourage your heart today, because sometimes you feel stuck and sometimes you have been wondering how long you are going to have to do whatever it is you're doing.  Well, things are always changing. God is always moving in your life.  You may not be able to see it or feel it at the time but change is underway.  God wants to get you from point A to point B and His desire is to do it miraculously as you fight against the tides and waves that seek to sway you off your coarse.  When you are constantly fighting the tides and waves that tend to discourage you, it's hard to feel like you are moving forward.  You don't feel like you're going anywhere.  Trust me you are going somewhere, you are moving forward.  Your job is to fight to stay on coarse, God's job is to get you to where you're going.  Pray according to Psalm 121:3, that God will not allow your foot to be moved

Psalm 121:3New King James Version (NKJV)
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Look at nature and the seasons, the changes in the trees, the colors of the leaves.  Look at animals and how they go through the changes of seasons.  Don't become fustrated with your life,  as sure as the seasons change is as sure as you can be that you will experience change in your life as well.  This is how God designed it.  Genesis 8:22 says so

Genesis 8:22 New King James Version (NKJV)
22 “While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”

Keeping my mind focused on these things has helped me through years and years of waiting for certain things to take place in my life.  I stand as a living witness to tell you that things change, circumstances change, people change, and life changes.  Believe God!

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. ...
