struggling through...


The last few days have been such a challenge for me mentally, physically and spiritually. I have been challenged to be creative for lunch with the very little food we have in the house right now. I have never ending school work to get done, grading, creating lesson plans and typing out test. I never seem to be able to catch up with myself. I have had a hard time with my quiet time. Honestly I have not had ANY quiet time.  How do you all do it? Especially those of you that get up and go to work each morning!  I know I should be doing it. I know it is part of my  mental health issues right now but I can not seemed to stay on it or stick with something. 
I often pray for someone  to ask me what did you read- each day, or what is God speaking to you today. ACCOUNTABILITY- a word so many of us hear but very a few of us have or live out. What is true accountability mean?  
Why have we gotten so busy in our society to stop and see how each of our brothers and sisters are doing spiritually?
 Is it because we are so self absorbed that we really do not care?
 Is it not the spiritual that should be more important in our lives? 
Or have we made our financial gain, and materialism a god in our lives? 
I truly long for the old days- the days when neighbors were not afraid to stop by unannounced. The days where families had traditions. The days when your relationship with Christ was important to everyone not just your pastor or preacher. Are those days truly gone forever?

    Angie,

    It's not easy being a single working Mom!! There was a time, when the kids were younger, that it worked best for me to have my quiet time at night after they all went to bed. Now I kind of split it. I get up early and I have a quiet time, prayer and a devotion. Then in the evenings I do my Bible studies. I'm praying that you will find a balance and begin to feel better!

    Blessings
    Michelle

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
