Goal Setting: Week of January 31, 2016

Thanks to all of the snow that came last weekend, I did fairly well on my goals for this past week.  The kids were home Monday through Wednesday and had two-hour delays on Thursday and Friday, which cut out my gym time.  So even though I accomplished absolutely NONE of my physical goals, I did fairly well with everything else.  Here how things looked for this past week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Finish reading Make It Happen by Lara Casey Finish reading Where Is God When It Hurts? by Philip Yancey Finish 2 cross stitch colors (I…

2016 Blizzard Recap

It's funny when people talk about being "snowed in" like we're all going to stay stuck inside for a week.  It may snow a lot, but you're still required to shovel your sidewalks within a certain amount of hours, so there's not really any such thing as being "snowed in," if you ask me.  If you missed me on social media this weekend, here's the photo story of the events of the weekend:                                Believe it or not--it was not a record snowfall, but it was getting pretty…

Scripture Sunday: How Can We Pray for You?

This Sunday, we'd like to encourage you to share your prayer requests, that we might be able to keep you in our prayers. Did you know that the Bible instructs us to pray for each other?  To intercede on behalf of those we love as well as those we may not even like?  1 Timothy 2:1 says, "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them." Not only are we told to speak on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Christ, but for all people…

Goal Setting: Week of January 24, 2016

Well now that 2016 is in full swing, I guess it's time for me to get back into the swing of my goal setting.  I have been setting goals the last few weeks; I just haven't posted them.  I do value accountability though, and even though I don't get much response from these posts, I find sharing my goals keeps me more accountable (because who wants to tell the whole world you failed?!?!?).  So without further ado, here are my goals for this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Finish reading Make It Happen by Lara Casey…

When You Feel Like a Nobody: Your Voice Matters

Yesterday I felt like a nobody. I can't pinpoint what it was exactly. Maybe it was people criticizing the company I interviewed with last week after having looked down on me so long for not having a "real" job. Maybe it was all the church leaders being recognized now that I'm not (for the first time in a long time) one of those leaders. Sometimes it's difficult to see everyone else getting recognition for doing the same things you never got recognition for.  Sometimes everybody else's success just makes you feel like a nobody.  Like being "just" a mom isn't important.  Like…
