The Sun is Shining!!!

I took some time this morning to stand outside, take a deep breathe and just simply enjoy the day.

You're alive. I'm alive. Take a moment away from technology (after reading this post, of course haha) and distractions and appreciate the day that has been given to you!!

"This is the dat that the Lord has made; We will Rejoice and be glad in it."

Psalm 118:24 NKJV

Make a lists on paper or just in your head of all the people in your life that you are grateful for. I have found myself only being thankful for my family and close friends, but then I came to realize that even the people that drive me Nuts I need to be grateful for too! I try and think, "What trait is God trying to teach me or take out of my life in this situation or with this person?" Maybe God is trying to teach you to be Patient, Kind, Humble...there are endless things that we can be taught trough people and situations. We just need to push our pride out and ask God to reveal to us what we need to either add or take out of our lives... 

Of course, I am SO Thankful for my family!! I wouldn't be the woman I am today with each of them. Through our flaws, we Love each other and need to show it each day...because we have bee given this day!!

Transitioning into full time house maker and at home mom was not a smooth one. I have a feeling it will be an ongoing, never ending journey :) but as my bad habits of laziness and inability to clean anything emerged, I quickly realized that I had to change the way I thought in order to have a home worthy my family. I took a step back, looked at how I was"taking care" of my house and kids and started focusing on my weaknesses. I would focus on one weakness at a time in order to not overwhelm myself and did my best to literally change the way my brain was programed to do things. Everyday still has its challenges but now I Know what I am capable of and continue to strive to Glorify God and my family through every task and responsibility. Trust me, If I can change myself from a person who doesn't even know how to do laundry or pay a bill, then you can surely do it! :)

There's a Huge part of all this transformation process that I haven't mentioned yet...Prayer. There are times when I feel so overwhelmed and feel like there's no way I can make it through what I'm going through, I can pray and sometimes i can literally Feel the whoosh of Peace that fill my body..God is Good.

I pray for motivation. Patience (that's a big one for me). Courage. Ability to Love others, whether it's stranger, friends, my kids...anyone and everyone. You can pray for anything! That's the beauty of it! We can talk directly to God, through the Holy Spirit because of Jesus taking our place.

Today is a cleaning day for me, so I will be praying for motivation, patience and strength to complete what I need to do while loving on my kids.

Thank you so much for reading!! I pray you can go to God with anything that comes to your mind to day..good or bad. He's Faithful!
