Take Advantage of Tuesday

Hopefully you got some good momentum going for your Monday.  I always try to start the week off slow but strong.  Many times, however I start off, on Monday, sets the stage for how the week is going to go.  It's all about my attitude, what I'm focusing my thoughts on.  If I am bending towards the negative it tends to affect my whole week.  If I am feeling overwhelmed, it tends to affect my whole week.  If I am feeling burnt out, it tends to affect my whole week.  If I am feeling offended, it tends to affect my whole week. The list goes on, but you get my drift.  Mindset is everything for me.  For Tuesday, I feed off the momentum that has started on Monday. On Tuesday, don't let yourself be all over the place, keep up your focus and your momentum.  We all know as we inch towards the end of the week we start to taper off.  I know I do.  My momentum starts to slow around Wed, late afternoon and I start to go downhill with my energy level.  My focus gets a little loose.  But that's alright because I'm human and that's just how I'm wired.  I now embrace it and try to take advantage of when I am strong and have some good momentum and focus, because it will get weaker after a couple days.  There are limits to our momentum and our focus, so don't feel bad about it, just take advantage of when you are focused and you do have good momentum.  Trust me,  it works!!!   I use to be hard on myself because I felt like I didn't have the energy to go, go, go like other people that I knew.  But now I know that it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with me or even that it is something I need to work on.  It just means I'm wired differently and I might need a slower pace, or I might not have as much endurance.  But when I embrace this, it empowers me to know that I should go strong when I am strong.

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...

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...

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. ...
