I'm Thankful For...Teachers


I'm Thankful For...Teachers
Day 16
The Heart of a Homemaker
Not the normal type of teachers. I thankful for them too but that's not what this post is about. 
Last night I went to my life group. It's kind of like Bible study to our church.
We are studying about parenting in our group which I don't think we can ever study to much. We are all at different points in child training and going through different struggles and it is great to talk to others and get suggestions.
Last night I asked someone that I respect and admire about David and Goliath. Monkey has really been into this story. He talks about it all the time and on the way he said, "We are strong like David and Goliath." I wanted to make sure he understood the difference between what made David strong and what made Goliath strong so I started to explain. "David is strong because he had God in his heart and God made him strong. Goliath was strong because ...." Umm didn't know how to explain that one so I asked someone else that has a little more experience in the parenting field and knowledge of explaining the Bible to younger ones. 
Here's what she said, "David trusted God so God was able to help David and make him strong enough to beat Goliath. God made Goliath tall and strong physically but because he didn't trust God he became weak against David." She also shared the scripture that says "For my strength is made perfect in weakness" 2 Corinthians 12:9
On our way home we talked about this again. I wanted to make sure that we finished our conversation because I told him I would. So I explained it almost the same as above and added that David had God in his heart and Goliath did not. I chose to explain it that way because we have been talking a lot about knowing God/Jesus in our hearts. 
So, I'm thankful to have people around me that help teach me and that I can seek answers and support from in times of need. Whether it's a small need like yesterday or a larger need.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
