The End of Yourself

   When you get to the end of yourself what is it that you always find? Personally I find an exhausted person that has put on way too many hats and tried to do it all myself. When I get to the end of me I just find that I am human after-all not this perfect being who tries to do everything.
    Let me explain I am a Christian, wife, mother, teacher, principal, maid, laundress, prayer warrior and friend. I home school my 3 kids and have for the last 6 years. They are becoming teenagers one by one no matter how I try to stop them. I teach them a bible study daily, read a different book aloud to them every few weeks, and pray with them, about them and for them. I don't do a bought curriculum so that boils down to me writing out their curriculum and so on and so forth. I also am involved in 2 bible study groups at the moment, one within the church and one at another location not under the hat at the church. I am a avid Facebooker who gets the Word out there on a daily basis, I do play a few games but it is increasing less and less. I have a daily routine that I hardly ever get disturbed because I guard it like a bear with her cubs.
    Oh did I also mention I work too? Outside of the home? After cleaning all week, getting kids motivated on a daily basis, wearing the many different hats it takes to run my home smoothly, I get to work every Saturday cutting hair. That actually isn't that hard of a job mentally, but physically it tears me up. That's okay though who couldn't use that extra money?
     So this is the beginning of my on going story. God has told me for many years to share my life's journey with others. I thought He meant the book that I have been trying to write for more years than I care to count, but apparently this is where I was guided. I love humor and use it often myself, the journey of my life somehow ended up filled with Wisdom that I had to take a beating to finally get and understand.
    So when I get to the end of me and I am this pathetic, exhausted human being and all I can seem to do is look upwards from my knees on the floor...that is exactly where I need to be...looking up for help from my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ....who takes my burdens so i no longer have to carry them....Thank You Lord

Love is always in the air

     So today is Valentine's Day and the world suddenly has love for everyone. They all want to celebrate and do something special for their loved one. The question I ask is, why do you need a specific day for this? My writing yesterday had to do with the words that we speak and how they can make or break a person, this falls in line with love also. If you really love someone your mouth will reflect your heart. My husband and I have been together for almost 18 years, and it is a very rare occasion that we actually fight, say harsh words or just argue in general. We respect each other and we always have. We truly are best friends and it has made our marriage and relationship stronger and healthier. He doesn't expect things from me that he himself would not do or say, and I return that favor in kind. Our life and marriage together, while not perfect, reflects our hearts and our values. We love each other and do not want to ever hurt one another.       He lik...

Lets talk about Love

 There are two types of loving yourself. There is being conceited, prideful, and arrogant thinking you’re better than everyone, which is a sin and there is naturally loving yourself. Naturally loving yourself is being thankful of what God made. Scripture never says to love yourself because it is normal to love yourself. No one has to tell you because it just comes naturally. Naturally we love ourselves so Scriptures teaches us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.  On the other hand, Scripture does warn us about self-love. Our focus should not be on ourselves. We must trade self-centered love for agape love. Loving yourself too much shows selfishness and arrogance which God hates. It leads to self-criticism and the sin of boasting. Take your eyes off of yourself and look at the interests of other people. Love others as yourself. If you can't love yourself, how is it then that you can love others? Don’t focus on yourself, instead focus on the awesome love that God has for...

Embarking on a Journey

   I got diagnosed 4 years ago with Hypothyroidism and Iron Deficiency Anemia. The past 4 years has been a huge struggle for me to deal with all the symptoms associated with these 2 things. People think that if you take a pill all those symptoms go away. I thought this. I thought I would take the pill, let it get into my system and then the weight that I gained because of it would just melt away as fast as it came and my memory would be immediately restored. What a joke! It just didn't happen like that at all. It still is something I deal with, but thankfully after taking my own health into my own hands I am finally getting results. Let me start at the beginning of this journey and tell you the background.    Hypothyroidism runs in my family. That doesn't mean everyone will get it though. I spent my whole life being thin. Had myself a nice curvy but thin figure. Until about 38 years of age. Suddenly I had memory problems and thinking problems. I gained 20 pounds in...
