I Love Leap Years

leap yearFebruary 28, 2016

I love that every four years we have an extra day!  What are you going to do with your time? So many options of what you can do …. At our house, we are pretending today is the 29th since it is a work day tomorrow!

PRIORITY and PLAY DAY – here we come!

Two – the perfect number

homeFebruary 27, 2016

I am so very grateful for a commitment free weekend. Just me and my hubs hanging out and getting some stuff done around the house.  We have had a ton of little things that we have been trying to finish and I do believe the vast majority will get done!  Two humans and two doggie boys will also make for some seriously high quality couch time too!

Stand Firm in Faith

1 cor 16-13-14February 26, 2016

This was a challenging week … make that month …. and it all felt like it was crashing in over the past couple of days!  God really spoke to me last night through his Word and lovingly reminded me of what is most important – HIM!

So today, I have my big girl panties on and I am armored up ready to take back the end of February and all of March.  I am not defined by anything that anyone says or does.  I am capable of way more than anyone can ever imagine simply because I am HIS!  My next 30 days are going to be way better than the past 2 weeks because I am simply His!  I choose to Be Strong, Be Courageous, and DO Everything in Love!

Be precious to God

1Ptr3February 25, 2016

When we make a stand for God, there is often some sort of “fall out”.  I believe it is spiritual warfare – Satan has lost the war.  Yet he still wants to win every battle and do everything he can to neutralize the work we do for God’s Kingdom.  This has been the story of my February and today God graciously reminded me that the most important thing I can do is to be beautiful for him and him alone!

God can do ANYTHING

This says everything … nothing NO thing

Good In – Good Out

feed your heartFebruary 23, 2016

When I took my first computer class in high school (yes early 80’s), the teacher kept emphasizing GIGO …. if the programming was bad, we were not going to get the results we wanted.  Now decades later, the truth is driven home!  In Luke the bible says out of the heart the mouth speaks.  Think about it!  What is it that you want to come out of you – garbage or good?  Pause before you read your next book, watch that next tv show or go out to the movies.  What will come out of you after taking it in?

Feb 22

Celebrate with your girlfriends

support friendsFebruary 22, 2016

So often women view each other as competition … I am so grateful for each and every woman that God has placed in my life over the years.  I am 45 years old and have some of the best, most fun, driven, playful, compassionate and godly women in my life that I am blessed to call “girlfriends”!

Over the next couple of months, there are going to be some incredible celebrations in honor of some pretty cool accomplishments!  Each of them has worked hard, had setbacks and kept going anyways!  I hope you will celebrate with me when the time comes =)

Plan for next week

Hand writing Time to Plan concept with blue marker on transparent wipe board.

February 21, 2016

Thad and I take time at least once a week to get focused for the week ahead.  Sometimes we need to expand the time frame, but every week, we make time to talk about what is coming and what needs to happen … we cover everything from meals, appointments, date time, down time, work wonkiness, other meetings, challenges, goals, desires … it can sound overwhelming – though once you get in the groove, it really does just happen =)

Group like tasks together

check - doneFebruary 20, 2016

Grouping like items together just makes things go smoother …. whether it is the sequence in which you run your errands or the activities that have to be done.  We are always more efficient when we do like stuff together 😉
