To Feel Loved

April 24, 2014 By Mrs. Mom 2 Comments

I have had my moments…
Moments of not feeling loved…
Moments of not feeling wanted…
Moments of feeling empty and void…
But all of that fades, when I hear and feel Him calling me…
He calls my name…
He reaches out from the throne room of heaven…to touch me
It’s not that I’m super important, but I’m super important to Him…
Important enough to make this real…
Real for me…
I don’t want an experience that only moves me in church
I want a relationship that fills my deepest needs
And as I type this I realize that I have what I want…Him
Moved to tears, my heart floods…
My years of rejection are removed with just a simple touch of His love
In my weakness, my void, my emptiness…
He fills me, loves me, and revives me…
Never have I known a love so great…
Never has my fear of rejection been so far from me…
He has arrested my heart and brought me to a place of freedom
No more will the chains that once filled my heart hold me captive to the pain that once restrained me.
In my heart I am finally free…
What an amazing love…

If you want this you can have it…draw near to him and be vulnerable. For it is in my weakest moments that I have found His strength to change, fill, love, and revive my heart…

He will hear your cry and come to your rescue…

Super Crazy Busy

April 22, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

I know you probably are wondering what I’ve been up to because I’ve been quiet for two weeks.

If you follow me on twitter, you’d see that i haven’t been that quiet.  I just haven’t had a lot of time to stop and blog.  Yet, I have been writing.  As I mentioned in one of my first blogs for this year, one of my goals is two write a book.  I’ve been a bit busy doing that.

I must say that it isn’t easy.  I have so much to say about so many different topics and life lessons, that I am trying to make sure that I don’t overwhelm the reader.

I’m having fun though.

20140422-215342.jpgI am also studying.  I have to be encouraged on a daily basis.

I’m the type of person that is always  thinking and contemplating, so I have feed my brain with positive information.  I read a lot and am often using devotionals to help me.  I even use them when I pray.

I’ve been doing a lot of that too.  I have to..

I’m not sure if you remember, but I’m in school.

20140422-215422.jpg

 

Not only am I taking one class, but I am currently taking 5 classes.  These aren’t normal classes either.  They are Psychology classes.  O_o

It is hard attempting to understand the human brain.  We are very complex people.  Through in all of our spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational aspects, and you have one of the reasons why I’m praying.

Studying people causes me to ask God a lot of questions.

I’m sure that I will get my answers…soon.  The more that I study and seek Him, the more I will come to know.

 

20140422-215453.jpgThen there is my knitting.

I had a few sales in the past couple of months and I had to work on the orders.

I was doing really good, but I need to get the sizing of the items right.

My customer is making it easy, but understanding that I want to give her the best product possible and giving me time to do it.

20140422-215517.jpgMore than anything else, I am busy with my babies.

Ok, so they aren’t all babies, but they are mine.

My kids are getting big.

My oldest is a preteen and getting to the place where he needs my husband and I less.  However, we are still there to help him when he needs us.

This is taking a bit of processing for me.  I know that life changes as kids get older, but it isn’t my normal.

I am trusting God to help my son as he grows older.

We are training him us in the way that he should go and we are trusting God to keep him in that way. (Proverbs 22:6)

These are just a few ways that I am staying busy. You know me.  There is so much more that I’m doing.  However, I’m also taking time to rest and enjoy life.  There are 24 hours in a day and I’m loving every minute of it.

I just wanted to do a little blog update.  I’ve got some things that I want to share from my heart, but I’ll have to come back and do that another time.  I have a few class assignments that I have to do before the end of the day.

Stay encouraged and find a reason to smile.  🙂

Just Breathe

March 25, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Checklist We all have things to do.

We have our long lists and our requirements.

We have the expectations of ourselves and of others.

We have the things we want to do for ourselves and the things that others want us todo for them.

We have the nonstop coming and going, the long waiting to get nowhere fast.

Heart

In the midst of all of this our minds and hearts become overwhelmed with the cares of this life.

When will it ever stop?

How are we able to sleep at night?

We can’t…at least not restfully…

The thoughts keep racing. We worry and fret about things that haven’t even happened yet.  We aren’t even sure if they ever will.

So what should we do?

How do we stop ourselves from feeling overwhelmed and tired emotionally?

We have to STOP and take a deep breath.  It will take some focus to do nothing else in that moment, but it is imperative to find a way to just breathe.

Just Breathe

This is what I’m telling myself today.

I have a lot on my plate and to make sure that I don’t get overwhelmed, I have to remove somethings.

Before I do that I am going to take some time to rest and breathe.

I hope that you find encouragement in this as well and that you are able to do the same.

Remember…our hearts can only take so much…

Have fun in life, love what you do, run the race, kill the giants, but don’t forget to breathe…

Focused

February 17, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Today, I have a lot of things to do.

I have been so blessed.

I have been working on creating websites.  Not just for myself, but for other people.  I never realized how much work I put into my site, until I began to do it for other people.  I guess it’s the joy of creating a thing that makes the time fly by.

I really enjoy the multiple steps in building a site.

Still, site building isn’t all that I have to do.

I am a mom and a wife.  I have school work and projects of my own that I’m working on.

This means that I will have to stay focused.  I am going to have to carve out sections of time throughout my day, where I am focused on specific things.  I know it won’t be perfect, but I have to take the time to do it.  If I don’t I’ll be all over the place.

Do you ever find that you have to focus your time?  How do you do it?  Are you consistent in it?  Does it work for you or are you constantly trying to get focused?

A Moment In Time

February 3, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

As I sit here this morning listening to the sound if the rain outside, breastfeeding my baby, I am filled with a peace and joy that is hard to explain.

Have you ever had a moment like that? A moment where things are still and quiet, where you are able to reflect on the things inside you and around you. A moment where you can hear The Lord tell you that He loves you?

As a mom, these moments don’t happen all of the time. I have to create moments like this. What do I mean?

Well, it’s 6:45am. That’s right! I’m up before my kids…and I’m doing nothing.

We had our prayer call this morning and I was encouraged to walk in love. Now I am preparing myself mentally for my day.

As mothers we are needed dearly by our children. Yet we can’t be what they need us to be, if we aren’t ok. We have to find out what it takes for us to be well, at peace within ourselves and to have joy.

That may mean having quiet time during the day, a bit just for mom, but for the kids too. I am finding that this idea of quiet time is new for many moms. Outside of nap time, there is no quiet, personal, alone time for both the children and the mom. Yet, this is how I have learned to stay healthy.

Quiet time is good for both mom or dad and the children.

We have to decide when and how to do it.

This is how I am doing it today. Sitting, listening to the rain…experiencing the peace if God within me.

I hope that you find time to have a quiet moment today.

Purpose…

January 15, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

This morning I sat down to write out my to do list. I decided to stop for a moment and think about the reason why.

“Why am I doing all of this?” I asked myself.

I don’t know if you are anything like me, but I have to have purpose in all that I do or else it becomes mundane and vain.

As I thought, I reached for one of my favorite books. “A Book of Prayer” by Stormie Omartian.

I prayed this guided prayer.

Lord give me a vision for my life.  I put my identity in You and my destiny in Your hands.  Show me if what I am doing now is what I am supposed to be doing.  I want what You are building in my life to last for eternity.  I know that all things work together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).  I pray that You would show me clearly what the gifts and talents are that You have placed in me.  Lead me in the way I should go as I grow in them.  Enable me to use them according to Your will and for Your glory.

With purpose, I made my to-do list.  With confidence, I carry out my tasks.  I know that I am called to great things and being a mother and a wife are two of them.
