Coffee Break

and end of the month. This month has gone by so fast. It still seems like yesterday when we were rushed out of our home and living temporarily in a hotel while looking for a house to rent, and now I'm staring down at 2013. I told my daughter yesterday that I need to reassess my 2 year plan and get back on track. She just looked at me like I had grown an extra head, and then asked why. That really is a good question, why. I think it is important to look at your goals and see where you are in contrast to where you want to be, and then from where you are make a road map to get you where you ultimately want be. Then I think it is just as important to present your goals to God and ask Him if what you want in life is where He wants you to go. Many people may find it difficult to pray about their goals, plans and life. It seems to me that most people do what they want and then when they run into trouble, they pray. I have found the opposite to be much more effective. When I ...

 Today is Thanksgiving. I really do have much to be thankful for. I have a roof over my head, that we are making a home after loosing our home this past June. My children are all doing well in school and have some real good friends that they get to hang out with. My husband and I both have good jobs and 2 cars that run. We have family that lives nearby and good friends that live down the road. Yesterday as I was coming home I went past a church that was having a funeral. It made me wonder about the families inside and how they were going to be thankful today, on Thanksgiving. I asked my friend, Sally, who goes to that church, if she knew who passed away. She did, and told me who it was. I knew her, and I know her family. She was a woman of 95 years, who loved God, and had a good life. I knew at that moment that she was now in a better place, with no more sorrow or pain. So much to be thankful for. Even through the season of loss, it is reassuring to know that God is good, and...

 for a blog post. I have been extremely busy with life changes and I am still trying to find a new time management schedule. Change is never easy. So here's an update to those changes. I have a new work schedule to begin with! This is exciting for me. I am now on Mid-days. With this change, I am now home with the kids in the morning. We have all been trying to adjust to this new schedule, and it has not been too difficult, but it hasn't been easy either. The kids get to sleep in a little more in the morning, but I still want to be out of the house by 7:20 so they are at school by 7:30. Ideally this should work, but it doesn't always work that way. I also like to be at work by 8AM, but again, that is contingent on getting the kids getting to school on time (My time). So needless to say, I am being taught to have flexibility. The reason I like to be in early is because I have new responsibilities at work, and I like to do that first thing in the morning so ...
