Don't get distracted

I heard people say things like "Life if what you make it" "You decide your destiny". I think these sayings are true to an extent. We do have choices in life. Sometimes the hard thing is focusing on what is going to be the "best" life for you and your family. Our family has chosen a life that is of a slower pace, my husband has his own business and I am a full-time homemaker. My daughter goes to school 2 days a week and has gymnastics on Monday evening. Most of our time is spent in our home. This has been hard for me since I was one of those people that couldn't sit still before I got married. Although I have matured since then, it's still hard. But I see how God has used our slower pace of life to keep us healthy as a family, it is absolutely undeniable! But we live in a face paced culture so it's hard. I think that you can choose to live a fast paced life and go for the gusto, but you could be sacrificing your health in some instances and your relationships. I'm not saying that's bad. I'm just saying that we pick and chose what's important to us in our lives and then we pursue that. Everybody is different, God made us different. For me the most important things are a stable home..............gotta go, I'll be back later.

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy. It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows. And some desperate times. It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it. But marriage is worth fighting for. You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok. It's ok to not be ok. It's ok to not be ok with your marriage. It's ok to not be ok with your life. Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over. Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over. In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude. God has seen me in my struggle. Struggling with my emotions. Struggling with my desires. Struggling to stay faithful. He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this". He didn't look at me ans say "I...

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. ...

No more feeling trapped

When I first started being a full-time homemaker, it became a snare to me. I was very hard on myself and put alot of expectations on myself that were not from God. My husband would get up early in the morning and go to work and I always felt like I couldn't sleep late. Not that I got up with him but I remember feeling guilty if I slept past like 9:00am. Honestly, I felt guilty doing alot of things. Things that if I could of done freely, I would probably be a lot further then I am now in my writing and other giftings that God has given me. I spent 2 days a week at home cleaning. The other 3 days, I struggled. When I would go to the bookstore to read, I felt guilty. I would think "Is it fair that I get to relax at the bookstore while my husband out working to provide for us?". Sometimes I would want to go to the Amish market and eat breakfast. They had a restaurant in the Amish market with great breakfast. I would ...
