Something I like to remind myself...

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.


As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. -Proverbs 23:7

Day One Of Blogging.

Today I spent about 6 hours trying to get my blog just right. What a chore! I am determined to learn all that I can about blogging. I have decided I want to write... whatever I can, whenever I can. I'm hoping to help people. To be an encouragement. I want to write about Faith in God and what He is doing in my life... and I want others to know what He can do in theirs. I want to show someone how to live on a budget, how to cook healthier, how to spend time with family.

After browsing many blogs today I must say that I feel inadequate. I see so many women, so talented, so loving and helpful, and so knowledgeable of what they are writing about and who they are writing to... it makes me wonder what I have to offer. BUT... now matter how small of a contribution I make, I will make it all the same. I believe God can use me... as long as I am willing.

So Lord, this blog is for you. Do with it what you will. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God's Amazing Grace.

Have you ever had one of those mornings when you wake up and feel as if everything you have ever done in life until now... is wrong? Especially when it comes to parenting? Yep... that's me. Actually it's been SEVERAL mornings. But God, in His AMAZING Grace has once again stepped in to remind me that He already new me. Then and now. I don't have to be perfect. My children don't have to be perfect. We just need to keep our eyes on Him and trust that He is in control. I've had my eyes on my own inadequacies and what's been going on around me. But God showed me what HE was doing. I almost missed it... God was answering several prayers in other areas than the one I was focused on. He is so amazing. If He can do such great things when I'm not even focused on Him - I can only imagine what He will do when I am. He is so good!
