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...

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...

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...
