Treasure Hunting! Hide and Seek! and Follow the Yellow Brick Road!

"I wasn't always good at hide and seek, but I was better than a lot of the other kids around me.  Now I use the skill to help me find lost shoes, missing toy parts or my keys after my son has been digging in my purse.  Oddly enough when I hide things from myself, like money, I might not find it for three  months, and that's with me actively searching.  I put things away places trying to be conservative or clever, and I can barely find them again. What is that?!  I can find just about anything that anyone else is hiding, although many times it is by accident.  I think my worst ever case of lost and not quite found is my passion.  I know it sounds weird, but the Bible says that where your treasure is there your heart is also.  I guess what I am really unsure of is what I treasure most.  We have been talking about this as a family this week in my home, and I think it is time I weighed everything out.  I know that my treasure isn't money because I give it away too easily.  I know that it isn't stuff because I don't buy myself a bunch of stuff.  Sometimes I wonder if it is food, but I don't really eat enough.  I love my family, but sometimes I make decisions that are difficult for them and that makes me question if they are really my treasure.  If I were completely honest I couldn't say my work or school.  I am not a selfish person, and I hardly ever get to do what I really want.  I lose so much sleep trying to get other things done that it can't be sleep."   This was written by me a couple of months ago.  I thank the Lord that he has given me vision and insight into who he has made me to be.  I am passionate about the love of God and the realization of others that Jesus does love them no matter what.  I am passionate about showing people that nothing can separate them from the love of God and that because of that love they don't have to be desperate for anything.   I seek the Lord early in the morning and I have found him every day, and he helps me to find myself every day.  Thank you Lord.  Seek God first and he will show you amazing things to behold and give you everything that you need to fulfill his plan for your life.  Really all you need is him.

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
