Catching Up

August 22, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Wheeeew!!!

It feels like I haven’t blogged in months, but to be honest…it has only been a month.

I feel like I haven’t discussed the things that have been on my heart and mind for quite some time.

Now for those of you who don’t blog, you might be thinking that I could easily discuss these thoughts with people in my life and …well, you are correct.

Still there is something about blogging that is different. For someone like me, a writer at heart, blogging takes my natural love for words and my desire to express myself to a whole different level.

I’m saying “people like me”, but I believe that social media is proving that many of us in the world long for an outlet to express ourselves.

Anyway, I have been missing my blog. (those of you who blog probably know what that feels like)

I’ve been busy with grad school and my family. (Summertime)

Now that the summer is coming to a close, things will get back to normal, kinda.

A lot is going on in the world and a lot is happening inside of me as well.

Here’s to being back <3

Do you feel like you are coming back…lets catch up…

Morning Pondering

July 17, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

I should be sleeping right now, but I can’t. I have so much on my mind right now. I was going to sit down and begin to complain through this post, I I have suddenly had a change of heart.

I am very well aware of many of my life’s problems. I have read many of the bad reports through the news and other forms of media. I have contemplated the negative. I have even taken the time to allow my mind to think the worst, which I don’t recommend. Yet in the midst of all of this, I was quickly reminded of how blessed I am.

I remembered all of the people and things that God has so graciously blessed me with. I am truly thankful.

I realize that I could be somewhere else doing anything else, but I’m here. I breathing, healthy, a mother, wife, daughter, friend, cousin, and so much more. So today this will be my mission. I will continue to reflect in God’s unfailing mercy toward me. I will remember His word that He has spoke over me, my family, my marriage, my children. I will reflect, remember, and remind myself that God has, is, and will continue to supply all of my needs.

I know all of this may seem a bit sporadic, but this is me this morning. I will refocus my thoughts and give everyone the attempts to take hold of my thoughts and consume me, to God

I am eternally thankful for God’s love, grace, and unmerited favor. I don’t deserve anything that I have. Yet He has seen fit to bless me abundantly.

My prayer for today is that my life may bring Him praise. That he may look upon my life and smell a pleasant aroma of worship.

Unto to you O God, on this day, I give You all that I am. Have your way with my life. For once again, I surrender my all to you. – in Jesus name…Amen

What if?

December 11, 2013 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Today, I watched this video. As I sat and watched it, I ask my self questions. There were things that could say and there are points that I can argue with about the video, but ultimately, I have to say that it inspired me.

I began to think…

What if I stop allowing fear to have a place in my life?

What if I lived completely free?

What if I stopped hiding and allowed my personality to shine through 100%?

What if I became courageous and worked on my dreams and goals?

What if I lived like I was going to die tomorrow? How beautiful would my life be?

I don’t mean any of this in a negative way…I’m just saying that I am looking at my life and wondering what it would be like to walk in the freedom that God gave me through Jesus. I’m wondering how much I hold back…what do I hold on to?

I want to be all that God created me to be. I want to live until I am an old woman…135 old woman 🙂 Yet who knows when their time is up on this earth. Hezekiah knew and asked for more time. I want to see my kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and great great grandkids grow up. I want a life worth living and inspiring!

Today I am thankful for the inspiration. I am thankful for the encouragement.

Lord,
Help me to live this life to the fullest. Help me to walk in faith and to live courageously. Let my life be inspiring and full of love and joy. Help me to be the best that you created me to be. In Jesus’ mighty name. ~Amen
