Seasonal Activities

I began a new season in my life about 5 months ago and I went from being a stay-at-home mom who worked occasionally throughout the week, to being a work-at-home mom. Meaning I started working daily with my kids at home with me. It was a hard transition and still continues to be something that I'm still getting use to. I have had to let alot of things slide around my home and with my children in order to work from home on a regular basis. Honestly, I never thought I would make business I priority over my more domestic duties. But here I am. I have struggled with guilt, but I have come to realize a couple things.

1. I know for a fact if God wasn't the One propelling me, I would not have been able to commit to working from home.

2. Even if I was to try to stay on top of the things that I was letting slide, I would get nowhere because it is not the season for me to be focused on those things

3. You have to allow God to develop the "whole person" not just certain aspects of you. We are all multi-faceted human beings. God does not just desire to develop one area of your life and leave the rest alone. He wants you to be fully developed and "whole". Who doesn't want you living in a way where you are not complete

Ecclesiastes 3:3 (NIV
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

"A season for every activity under heaven". At any given time in life, we can be flooded with a flurry of activity. However. our question for God should be which activities are for this season that I'm in? Then focus on those.

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...

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. ...
