day 1 of 30 day challenge

Proverbs 31:11-12 "The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life."

Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your husband...and to someone else about you husband!

Thank your husband for choosing you above ALL other women. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.


Let's be honest I can be a bit snarky or sarcastic. I was recently challenged to speak to my children as if I am speaking to my neighbor kids. Do I use that voice with my hubs? So today I thanked him for being handy. Its going to take some effort people but its going to be worth it.

Within the last 3 months I have been reading 1 Kings. The one thing that popped out at me was 1 Kings 3:9 " So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"

Why did it strike my heart. I thought if a king can humble himself, couldn't a mom? I have been praying this verse for my family " So give your servant a discerning heart to raise your children and distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to raise these great people of yours?" Now that I am doing the challenge I feel that it also fits in to my marriage. " So give your servant a discerning heat to encourage this man of God and distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to encourage this your husband/father/son of God?"

My little {BIG} fear

So here's my little confession: I have big fears and little fears. But lately one particularly has been plaguing me { AGAIN }. It is the fear of being forgotten, more so being { FORGETTABLE } and indivisible. I don't know what starts it or triggers it, but it can be as simple as an email offering to volunteer for something than not hearing a reply. I guess the last trigger was a group wide calendar was sent out with {every one's} birthday on it except mine. I know that is wasn't done on purpose but my birthday is a sensitive subject to me. Its always been forgotten. Its right around Labor day and the first week of school. So in the busyness its often overlooked. Or in the case of 6th grade its not even written on the calendar. Mrs. Brotherton I think I know when my birthday is...but she still made me go to the Principal's office for arguing with her and I came back successfully with a note that I was indeed correct about knowing my birthday. I digress... I was telli...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
