I need your brilliance

Genius is inspiring to me.  I believe there is a degree of genius in everyone, because everyone is made in the image of God.  God is pure brilliance and that brilliance resides in everything He has created.  When I see genius, I see God.  Whether it be musical genius or academic genius.  I know it when I experience it.  I believe a better word for "genius" is "brilliance".  There are many attractive aspects of God.  But it was "God's brilliance" that first attracted me to Him.  I saw it first in His Son, Jesus.  He was preached to me and I was awestruck by the brilliance of Jesus.  The things He said, the way He responded to people.  God's brilliance laid hold of me that day and never let go.

I believe it's very important to stir up the brilliance inside yourself.  You should also surround yourself with people that stir up your brilliance.  That is what you will impact the world with; your brilliance.  I spot brilliance in people even if it's just a slight flicker.  If it is just a slight flicker, that's just because they haven't stirred it up yet.  We get so busy with our lives that we are not stirring up the gifts within us.

I inspire a path of discovering the brilliance that is within you because the world needs it and God wants you to share it.  It is a deep journey inward.  It requires examining your past.  It requires prayer.  It requires time.  You have to believe that you are worth the investment of your time.  I just recently came to the place where I realize that I am worth investing time in.  That I need to stir up the brilliance within me and I need to share it.  I can't keep it to myself.  Brilliance will became rotten, inside you, if it's not shared.

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. ...
