By Who's Standard?

I am a sinner, saved by grace.  Living in this world, being brainwashed by what the world believes in how we are to live out each day of our lives can be discouraging.  Discouraging only because we have been accustomed to this way if life.  We feel if we are "not" multi tasking and jam packing our calendars, we aren't living up to the worlds standard.
Read that last statement again.
Why on earth would we want to live up to "mans" standard? Man is far too capable of lying to you. Man manipulates you to work harder for him/her. Man deceives and money talks to him day and night.
Oh my stars!!  Are you not you rejoicing?! Look around you.  As a believer we can rest in the fact that God's standard begins with Honest Love and never ends.  God does not tell you to fill your schedules so full that you neglect Him, yourself or your family.  He does not condone this world's standard.  In fact, I believe He would rather see much less on your calendar so that you can do them efficiently and when you're there, you can focus on being all there.
After all, what kind of example do you plan on living out for your kids to follow? And not just your kids...for all those in your life that are watching?
My friend I am praying for you.  Would you pray with me? Pray and ask God to show you what is on your schedule/plate that needs to be removed.  Prayerfully focus on being more efficient in the areas that you continue and while you're there, BE ALL THERE.
Overcoming the world's standard by keeping our eyes fixed on Him.

DIY Family Sign

So I had an old ugly pallet on the side of my house…I saw some really nice signs on Pinterest but did not want to fork out as much as suggested. So my creative juices began to flood my head. So much that in the middle of the night I would wake up and have to write my ideas down so I wouldn’t forget them! Lol!! My husband and I pulled all the nails out of the pallet. I began sanding the pieces I thought would look nice after being stained. I utilized pieces that had old nail holes to give it that rustic worn look. After sanding I chose the stain that I had pictured in my head…I put only one coat of stain on as I was going for a not perfect or new piece of art. After this dried I used T shaped brackets to connect the three pieces of wood. I utilize free fonts all the time!! In my Power Point Program I create the type size and font styles, print them on card stock paper and then cut them out like a stencil. I then positioned everything where I wanted it and bega...

The Key to a Woman's Heart...

The key to a woman's heart is when He studies her; He hears her when she’s silent; He anticipates her needs and fulfills them joyfully; He embraces her with all his being, yet gives her free reign to be herself; He provides for her needs because it’s a priority in His life; He loves her because he knows, no other way; He accepts her flaws because that’s what keeps her unique; He gazes upon her and smiles because He knows He’s blessed by her presence…jus some morning thoughts.

WHAT DOES YOUR MASK SAY ABOUT YOU?

mask - concealing thing: something that conceals or disguises something else, for example, true motives or feelings Masks are things that we wear sometimes to hide from other people, and sometimes to hide from ourselves. Sometimes we wear so many masks that when we take one off, there is another one right behind it. Often times, we have so many different masks, that we don't really know who we are so we become that which we wear. We hide behind these masks…when asked a question from a friend or family member; do you answer with the real you? Or are you answering through the mask? Do you ask yourself, “how should I answer this question so that they don’t feel differently towards me?” Sadly we feel the need to impress others, so we are afraid to be ourselves in front of people. We short-change ourselves into thinking we need these masks to be accepted and loved. Is your mask still present when you approach God? God already knows us and he requests for us to be real with him. God ...
