Journal..

In my life this week… I have been in prayer about my heart and hurts and disappointments. Father has been ministering to me through His Spirit.  Yesterday as I read in the Word I felt such peace and comfort just seeping into my bones. I read all 5 chapters of Thessalonians & the last chapter of Colossians. I LOVE the Word and the words of LIFE it brings! 

In our homeschool this week…We are keeping on track with our schedule. I am so thankful for this small accomplishment. I am having to crack down on different habits and bad behavior but I know in the end it will bring many rewards! 

Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…It's important to keep a schedule but also to be flexible. Life happens and we need to be willing to roll with the punches. We can then breathe easy and relax..:)

I am inspired by… the Holy Spirit!!

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing… I work out at Curves most mornings and I thoroughly enjoy seeing the same ladies working towards healthy bodies and lives. :) Tomorrow I take JaidenNoah to the Dr. for a referral for Speech Testing. I am anxious to know what's going on with him.  

My favorite thing so far this week is…tonight!! It's date night with my sweet man!! I am favored! Father has favored me by giving me the man of my dreams to share my life with! 

What’s working/not working for us… Sticking to our schedule is working! 

Questions/thoughts I have… I have decided to verbally thank Father more often. To adopt an attitude of gratefulness even in difficult moments and days. I have this scripture framed on my dining room wall;

 Don't worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God's shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua.~ Phil. 4:6-7

It helps me to focus on prayer and thankfulness instead of worrying over the things that happen in my day to day life.  

Things I’m working on…prayer, thankfulness(gratefulness), sticking to the schedule, staying in Father's Word & being healthy.

I’m reading…Midwife of Blue Ridge. It's a great book so far! 

I’m cooking…nothing right now. Oatmeal for breakfast, will scrounge up something for lunch and then something simple for the kiddos for supper as dh and I are getting take out for our date night.

I’m grateful for…my Father, my family & my home...it is a small modest home but it's a safe haven from the world outside our door! 

I’m praying for…a new baby blessing, hurts, disappointments, my attitudes, others in my life, etc..
