Life is Full!!

These days life is full of Joy.. Two boys, a Husband, Household chores, Many activities, school for my kids.. I feeling so content right now.. I'm feeling that this is what God wants in my life to be content..

I love my life. I love my family, my kids... We all have those off days but I have to say for the most part these days are pretty much perfect..

I have been working on being other's centered. Being aware of my surroundings.. I truely believe I can be used in many ways.. God has given me a heart and a desire and thats what I can do ..

Today in my devotions I read Matthew 18:15-20 it talked about holding people accountable.. I think as a society we really don't do this.. We shy away from holding each other accountable because we don't want to rock any boats. I truly believe is that, thats where we are wrong.. We are evolving into a society where we are making the social norm what is in for the moment.. And not what God wants us to be.. A solid rock... Know where we stand on social issues.. Know what God wants us to portray to this world..

That is why staying in the word.. Keeping your head right in the word makes it easier to know where you stand...

All things old!!

So I have fallen in love with a Show called the nate bercus show.. The one thing I LOVE about it is his unique desire to use design and take what you have and make it beautiful.. I am ever so inspired by his attempt to re salvage old and make it new and unique to you... I am ever so excited to experience his show live with a friend of mine.. We are attending one of his tapings.. Only to see an artist at work.. (-: One of my passions in life.. I love projects and this is one I cannot pass up.. (-:

Parenting

As parenting a 4 year old has been a challenge these days with many tantrums. I have come to an understanding that this is a outward expression of their emotions. I however understand that this is a common problem as well..

I stumbled upon a free cd which is somewhat good for all parents and I thought I would share the link with you as well.. I hope you enjoy..

Courageous..

Ok So I am not usually a promoter of things but my husband and I had the opportunity this past weekend to view a Christian film Courageous.. I felt this experience was somewhat humbling.. God has really moved in my own heart.. I know it may sound cheesy. But I am feeling that what you get out of life is what you put into it.. The film talked about life struggles.. All different families dealing with different issues... In the long run... God was their one connection.. They all trusted in him.. They talked openly about their struggles and allowed God to heal..

I think as Christians we are held accountable for our own actions.. In the film they signed a resolution.. I think we as Christians must take a stand.. For ourselves, our marriage and our relationships with others. I have read the resolution.. It is really good and quite humbling.. I am praying on it every day. I feel ill adequate at this point to sign something like that.. But I am praying on it and looking at my own life...

We are all in this together with one common goal.. Our Lord Jesus Christ.. We must take a stand on good and evil.. We must not cloud our judgement with the world's standards...

Happy New Years!!!

So I have decided to change gears. To be more constructive in my posts.. I have found one of my biggest faults is to get sucked into the whole mellow drama of the day.. I am trying to refrain from that.. I have however found humor in the whole dramatic family that I have... God has given me such a strong husband and children. That the dramas that are on the family are somewhat dimmed by the fact that my every day life is more important than the craziness that my extended family chooses to live in..
I have enough drama queens in my family to start a funny farm.. But I the reality is... We only get past it all if we just rely on the Lord... Our focus is less on ourselves and our feelings and on the real picture is our goal.. Our heavenly Father who knows us in and out.. It really puts things into perspective... I am really blessed by the family I have don't get me wrong.. But i do believe in one thing.. I think the greatest fault in the human heart is our emotions.. They get the best of us.. They pursued us to action in ways that may not be God's actions.. We must look to the Lord's leading and not our own... I have truly been pursuing my own heart. And taking ownership to my own actions..
I don't know if any of you that read this will understand and agree.. But I just am pour out my heart and from re evaluating who I am as a Child of God.. This is what I have come up with in my own life..
I cannot change anyone but myself.. That is how God designed us.. (-:

Just Sayin!!!!!

Dear Person I would like to remain Nameless,
You should inform us when you are planning on coming home and scaring the daylights out of the dog sitter and leaving all your stuff all over the house and taking the M's car.. Then having my hubs go over to investigate only to find out you are out joyridding.. Just sayin....

THe Giving!!

So I've decided that the giving thing I am going to keep private.. I have done private giving.. I have decided this is a more personal thing than I thought it would be to my heart so I have decided to keep it to myself.. I think that giving however should be a year round thing.. WHen we see a need we should be willing to give to others..

GOd Bless All!!!
