Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 How do you spend your days? Are you frantically rushing from one thing to the next, never quite feeling caught up or under control? Do you find yourself facing each day with trepidation and frustration rather than joy and enthusiasm? Do you consistently feel overwhelmed or exhausted by your life? Let's face it, we all have seasons where life just doesn't seem to run smoothly. But, there is a huge difference between ... [Read More]
{Sunday Scripture} Colossians 3:23
Did you memorize John 10:10 last week? I hope so! Memorizing Scripture is one of those things we all know we should do ... but we all have a thousand reasons why we can't or don't. So what if we agree there are lots of reasons, even some good ones, why we haven't been focused on doing this before but for the rest of this month, we're all going to give this Scripture memorizing thing a try. Sound good? Let's do it!! This week, will you "whatever you do" for the Lord? ... [Read More]
{Encouraging Words} Giving God Priority
It's so easy to get distracted by all the things on our lists and all the people in our lives. But living well has to start with an intimate relationship with Christ. While I firmly believe there is no such thing as a perfect quiet time, I just as firmly stand on the truth that we all need to devote time each day to prayer and reading our Bibles. Maybe you've struggled with this ... there have been times in my life when I have as well. But know this, it's worth the effort it takes to get ... [Read More]
{action step} Pick Three
Wow, the first full week of our Living Well series is wrapping up ... what do you think so far? I do hope you've been encouraged and maybe even a little challenged already. Those three truths we talked about last week are the keys to everything else. Remember them! You can't do it all. You can be content. And you are most certainly not alone. This week, we discussed learning to live well. Understand this is a process and we have to be willing to take it one step {one day, one moment} ... [Read More]
Prioritize Rest
Today I took a 3-1/2 hour nap. I didn't really have time for that. I had three blog posts to write for different sites. There are literally no clean towels in my house. The dishes from supper last night are still in the sink. But I was exhausted. I need about eight hours of sleep per night. I've accepted this about myself. I don't function well when I don't get at least seven hours of sleep every night. And this week has been crazy. Between away games and church and early morning ... [Read More]
Embrace Life’s Seasons
So, I'm barely making day nine here. It's 10:07 as I sit here typing ... but this post is so important and I want to be sure to give it the attention it deserves. Yesterday I spent from 6:30 a.m. until about 10:30 p.m. wearing my cheer mom hat. It started with hot rolling my girl's hair before either of us was fully awake. I packed her cheer bag with all the possible uniform combinations she might need if the weather got as cool as predicted. {It didn't, by the way.} After dropping her ... [Read More]
