So, I had a mouse in our house and now I am all Martha Stewart or something…

So, we had our dreaded yearly mouse. And I got really sick around the same time with asthma and a virus. So I went on this cleaning mission. Or journey or better yet quest. I can’t tell you how completely … Continue reading →

So, I feel super antsy and need to be quiet and pray but can’t…

So, a lot of things are going on. My daughter has two exciting offers coming up or opportunities would be the right wording. I am excited about it, but I am trying to figure out if these life-changing events come to fruition, how will I balance everything. It is so silly. I am concerned about how I will babysit the kids I keep and still have her in her play, and then do this even bigger project.

If I could just sit and be still with God, I think that I would be more at ease. I wouldn’t have to figure out how it is all going to flow. I could just give it to God through silent speaking, or whisper it on my knees before getting into bed. I don’t know why those easy actions are so difficult for me sometimes.

I don’t know if I feel that I don’t deserve to be heard. Or, if I just think it will not do any good. Another big thing is that I am so used to trying to fix everything myself. I want to get closer to get God, but there is a fear factor going on, and honestly I do not know how to do it.

I have read the Bible this year more than I did last year, I have also done more in a devotional than I have in the past. But I still do not know how to connect the 2 with prayer to spiritually connect with God in the way that I want to.

I am going to try to do less social media, and less Hulu and less Bravo and figure out how to TRULY put God first. Because I feel like when I do, clarity will be available to me, and I will be less anxious, and I will also have a different and better life.

When I go to sleep tonight, I am going to try this and see how it goes. The next time I write on here, I will let you know how it goes. If you have a strong relationship with God, or if you know how to speak with God and turn your problems over to Him, I would love to hear from you…

Good night, sweet dreams and God Bless.

What is about nighttime and worrying and binge-eating grapes? For me at least…

HI guys

I am still a bit bummed and stunned that so many people do not care about the tragedy in Nigeria. Because some journalists were killed in Paris, the media was up in arms and they still are. I totally get it. It was tragic, but other parts of the world are going through so much more on such a much larger scale and it bugs me. It more than bugs me. It upsets me. Haunts me. Scares me. I guess I get angered because no one seems to care. I know we should live every day like it is our last, but Jeez. I wish people would shows some compassion.

So, I am sitting here, watching one of my fave movies and trying to not eat an entire bag of red grapes. I had a good dinner, but sometimes at night I want a snack. I guess it could be worse. I guess it is typical for people to be concerned about things at night. In my case, night-time after my kid is asleep, everything comes flooding forward. Every concern or fear is magnified 10 fold. I guess because I worry for my child’s future and hate the way the world is for her.

What I need to do instead of lose sleep and eat take more calories in is exercise and pray. I have a hard time sitting quietly with my Bible open and reading the Word or eyes closed and pouring my heart out to the Lord. I can pick the phone up and call a friend and spill basically everything that is on my heart. Why is it so difficult for me to do the same with my savior aka Jesus aka the whole reason I am on this earth?

I have my Bible in my purse. I am doing my devotional everyday. But I have to learn to Let Go and Let God as they say. I am going to try tonight to do that. Because as much as I hurt and feel for people who are persecuted all over the world, particularly Jews and Christians, I cannot fix what is wrong. I can only pray that God turn their hearts.

Night my friends, I am going to try to give al of my sorrows to God tonight and see how my day goes tomorrow. I suggest you do the same.
