The Way

So I was reading my daily scripture in my email today and  I immediately said "this is blog worthy."  After I wrote on Psalms 37 about God bringing forth our righteousness, I realized that I was still a little unsure about the "commit thy ways unto the Lord" part of it.  I've actually struggled with this one for a while because I thought that maybe it meant I took what I was doing and dedicating it to the Lord, but the text doesn't say dedicate.  It says commit which means that there is something already there and you make a commitment to it.  Psalms 119:9-11 shows us how to commit our ways to the Lord.  It says:

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

So, this means that everything that I do I first measure against the Word of God which I should know well.  This is important in family matters, employment, ministry, relationships, and in business.  I have especially struggled with committing my business to the Lord because I wasn't sure how to do that.  I am still learning, but I feel like I am getting there.  The Lord has shown me quite evidently that apart from him I can do nothing.  When I gave up on trying to influence people and started looking for ways to minister to people with my business it started to make a difference.  I know that my business if from the Lord, but I am having to allow God to work through my business instead of asking God to simply bless what I'm already doing.  It's not easy, but God's ways are better than mine.  I am a Mom on a Mission, but that mission is set by the Lord. 
If you are a Mom on a Mission or want to be one, send me a email.  Be blessed mommas.

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...
