When Monday feels like...

Tuesday you are bound to miss a thing or two. I know that I have felt that way all day. I keep thinking that I'm forgetting to do something, but I don't know what it is. I know that there is always work to do, but I have to "STOP" when the boys get home from school. Logan, my youngest, is still struggling with school work. He has been home for 30 minutes and he has yet to complete either one of his assignments. I am at a loss when it comes to motivating him. It seems like all he wants to do is play when he gets home from school, but that is not a luxury that he has. Between football for the boys, karate for all of us, PTA meetings & tap classes for my daughter, there is no extra time to give him to do his homework later. So how do I get him to understand that he has to get his homework done as soon as he gets home? I know I'm not the only person with this challenge, so I know that I will find an answer.

So I suppose the other reason that it feels like Tuesday to me is because last night was a very long night at church. I am really enjoying being a part of Blythe Island Baptist Church. Last night I went to choir practice & Nichole went to Stick practice. Afterward I was blessed to help the youth with their praise band. It is so exciting to see young people praise God with song & their gifts. An unexpected came to me after that,I was asked to sit and talk with a young lady that came to the church looking to "talk with someone". I do not mind taking time to talk with someone, but not being a member yet of the church I felt a bit off balance. She seemed to appreciate the time to get things off her chest, so I know that God planned that meeting. After that I went to Youth. I missed the lesson and I was so bummed by that, but I know that all things happen according to His Will, so I was just thankful to be used.

So today I felt like I was just continuing where I left off from last night & by time I got home for the boys, I felt like I had done all I was suppose to, but yet I feel like there is more that I'm suppose to do. Maybe that is just me. I know I have dishes to do & dinner to prepare for, but I have no other place to go for the day... how odd. It feels wrong in some ways but in other ways it feels good to know that I can get some detail things done this afternoon/this evening. So with that I am going to plan out & list out my agenda for the week so that nothing slips through the cracks.

So what is on the agenda...

TUE: Strike Zone, set b-day party date & football
WED: Karate/Youth
THU: MOPS & Tap
FRI: Suns Baseball Game & maybe family in town
SAT: Karate

Yup...nonstop so today I will bask in the knowledge that I am at a stopping point. Why do I feel guilty about not doing anything from 4pm on? I'm not sure, but I'm sure that I'll get over that feeling.

~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
