A confused mind doesn't get much done

I have been thinking about various projects of late, trying to move forward on some, table others. I must admit, I am all over the map, my brain is swirling. In an attempt to define my next steps, I am praying for discernment. I need clear direction, and peace of mind that I am making the right choices. As a mother, and a wife, many decisions & action on those decisions depend on me being able to make a plan, and step forward. Kids are depending on me to fill out the right paperwork, do the right research, make the right recommendations. My husband needs me to keep all things related to our household moving, and working properly. I need to handle all of that, plus feel like I am moving ahead in service to God. All the while, making sure food is on the table, everyone is healthy, clean and fed, and trying not to miss deadlines for this & that. Sheesh, I am exhausted. So instead of tackling a bunch of stuff at once and doing nothing well, I am going to breakdown my afternoon action plan.

1. Make the kids lunch & clean up the dishes

2. Make myself a chai tea

3. Find a quiet spot

4. Hide my latest book from myself (The Constant Princess by Phillippa Gregory-- I am loving it and if I let myself I could read for hours)

5. Pray for peace, direction, and an end to whirling brain syndrome.

6. Write down, next steps.

7. Start one project

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer. I thank all of you who give us encouragement. I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do. I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day. Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved. Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

Believing isn't so hard

Why do I believe what I can't see? That is a valid question. I get it from well intentioned people just trying to understand our differences I guess. I'll try to answer as best as I can. The college years especially, are a time of exploration. We think in a less inhibited way. We behave in a less inhibited way. We ponder, and process, and get emotional about issues we think are important. It is definitely an important step in the process of maturing. I too, explored, pondered, got emotional, and was uninhibited. I remember especially being passionate about the right to a woman's choice. I never took the idea of abortion lightly. I held the hands of a few friends along the way, as they made that very difficult choice. I praise God that I was never faced with that decision, I am not sure what I would have done at that stage of my life. I would like to think I would have chosen life, but I can't say for sure. I don't believe that ab...
