Its finally the Weekend!


Time to relax, unwind and hopefully act on those big plans you have been making all week. Whether you're working Monday thru Friday, or working some odd schedule, you're always looking forward to your day off. We are working for the weekend. Waiting for the weekend.... And sometimes being miserable all week.
How are you spending your week? The weekend is not promised to anyone. As a matter of fact your next breath is not guaranteed. Are you spending your time looking forward to the time to come? Are you living, really living Monday through Friday?

I love weekends. I am guilty of putting things off for the weekend knowing very well I could do it today. And how often haven't we heard that saying? Why leave for tomorrow what you could do today?
Today, Friday, I urge you to stop putting things off. Stop living in the future and daydreaming about what the weekend may hold. Live Today. It may be the only day you have.

Reach out to others. Text, call, email... Love today. Go to the beach today. Enjoy your partner, your kids today. Hit the gym or at least take a stroll in your neighborhood. Read that book, take that class. Dont cook, go out for dinner in your backyard under the stars. Enjoy what's around you right now. Whatever you're putting off do it Now!

If you're reading this, you are present and able on this day. Why keep waiting for days that may never come?
Live today to your full potential. Laugh. Let go of grudges and fear. If you're stuck at work, change your perspective. Be thankful. Smile. Help somebody. Enjoy what you have and where you are on the way to where you're going. 

Since it is the weekend go out and live it. Go do those things you've been putting off. That date, that dinner, that treat for your kids, those flowers for a loved one. But remember if you spend 5 out if 7 days looking forward only to 2... How much of your life are you wasting waiting instead of living. Make everyday a weekend!

(please forgive me today as I'm under the weather and the influence of Dayquil, but due to this topic, I couldn't wait to post it another day!)

Nothing Else.

My favorite worship song right now is by Cody Carnes : Nothing Else. The lyrics as simple as can be: "I just want you. Nothing Else, nothing Else will do, I just want you." And as I sang this song a few Saturday nights ago at service, with my eyes closed and hands lifted in worship, I breathed in, and came to the realization of how more than just a song its a truth and a prayer I must live out everyday of my life. We just moved a week ago, and until then we were living in a clutter of boxes. and I realized how much I hate clutter. I know it was necessary, but it was making my mind cluttered as well and I just felt messy and like I couldn't wait to be in the new place, unpacked, and organized. I figured this would bring back the peace a normal routine and clean house brings me. It was just this week, I was listening to a preaching. A preaching that talked about the importance of walking in obedience especially when it comes to our finances. Dr. Mark Jobe on Mood...

New Me

Today, marks 8 years since my life was radically changed. It was this day that I realized two things::: Only God could love me wholly and perfectly, and there was no mistake I'd made that was too big for forgiveness....and it's the same forgiveness He'd want me to have with others. I celebrate this day because prior to this I wasn't really living... I was a slave to me and my selfish ways and years of doing things our way clearly wasn't working. At this point in my life I thought I'd be a 21 year old divorced single mother who would have to live in shame and guilt of ruining her own marriage..... But God.... He wasn't done. And He meant it all for good. He had started a work in my heart and my husband and was orchestrating these series of events that would lead us to Him.... Repentance and each other with a love newer and purer than before. A couple weeks ago I sat in a room full of women and told my testimony and I vividly remember every tear I ...

"Woe Is Me"

This past week some days were cloudy, dark, and rainy with just a few hours of sunshine in between. And sometimes that's exactly the state of mind we fall in to. Cloudy, rainy and barely sunny.  I wallowed in self pity about almost everything and my mood was deteriorating fast.... it was like my mind went from Sunny Florida days to thunderstorms rolling in almost immediately like a typical summer afternoon. I was frustrated with my cravings and lack of weight loss despite doing more then ever before. I was frustrated with what seems to be the kids never ending fighting and bickering.  I was feeling annoyed by my husband despite him being the sweet loving guy who comes home to help me with dinner..... I was lamenting that right now is not a good time to pursue education.... I was even listening to the voice that says I can't blog about what I'm learning. ...... I haven't learned it yet. For the past two weeks, I was more attentive to my feelings then the word of...
