Worry Is A Sin

Yes you read that right, worry is a sin. Recently i have been taking  part in a bible study all about worry. At first i questioned how this  could be. As a mom i worry when my children fall off their bikes, or  when i cant pay a bill. Sometimes i even let this worry over take me. I  lose sleep or become cranky. I even, sometimes, start a tiff with my  husband just because i want him to be in the same mood i am. Simply no  fun. I am in week four of this study; i still have questions and i am  still learning. I do have to say though it is nice to have a answer to  how to walk away from all this cranky - not - so nice way of life.
Some  people tend to worry over different subjects. Some people have what  they like to call, concern. When you truly sit and look at whatever it  is you call it, it is all worry. What i have learned so far is; worry is  a sin, call a sin a sin. When you begin to worry give your problems to  Christ. With Him your worries will be taken care of. You may not get  your answer right away, you may not get an answer you like or you may  not even get an answer at all. But you have taken it off your shoulders  and given it to Him just as He has asked. Yes its just that simple! We  are all made to have a heart of flesh and to have concern and love for  one another. Its when we think we can fix it all and when we stress over  the issues at hand that cause us to step away from our relationship  with God and our loved ones.
Your worry is actually something  else all together. Sit for minute and ask yourself what you really are  worried about. Take each worry and see what the underlining fear is.  Does your worry break down to a want for control, embarrassment, anxiety  or even fear in itself? Sometimes i fret that my children wont do well  in school. This has many underlining fears, but mainly embarrassment.  What will others think of me, that i cant afford high learning. Remember  to give it all to God. That is what i am trying to do each time i have a  worry.
As  strong women, moms and wife's we tend to put a mask on of happiness when  we are struggling with something. Worries can very easily takes us from  what we would really love to do with our time. Each time you sit with  God in time of quiet, meditation or prayer you are strengthening your  relationship with Him. When you give up your worries and your fears to  God you make more time for your family. Its all apart of a life in our  journey with Him to learn as we go. His word means something different  to each person who reads it each time they read it. But what he ask of  us is simply. We just have to choose to follow it. He never said it  would be easy but he said He would be there for us.
1  Peter 5:5-7 "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble  yourselves, therefore under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up  in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
Psalm  19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be  pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer"
Matthew  12:34 "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks"
Psalm  37:8 "Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret- it only causes  harm"
Matthew 6:25 , Matthew 6;33, John 8:32

My Solution to Every Problem

 I am one of those people who think i can find all the answers in books. I have this feeling that books can fix anything. I have come across many books that have done just that and some that are pointless. I enjoy buying, reading and sharing a good book. But what happens when my solution becomes a problem?

No i am not saying that it has but simply asking a question. I have been looking for me for a while now and at times i think i have done a good job doing so! Other times, well lets just say i remember how lost i actually am. So there are a few more books that i am adding to my self help get back to me project. These i am happy to say i look forward to doing and i know will have some mind blowing difference for me once i sit to read them and do them.

The first book is a bible study. I have been trying to do one with a friend of mine but honestly got tired of waiting on her to start one with me. So i went out and got a copy for me and my project buddy to do together. Its called A Grand New Day from woman of faith. I look forward to what it has to offer and what i learn from it. The second book is from one of my favorite authors. I know i can never go wrong when ever i have one of her books to lead me. I am a big supporter of all her books because they make sense and actually speak from a true heart. Kathi Lipp has three books that i own each a 21 day project to better something in your life. This third book that i have 
is call The Me Project. 
It is something that i look forward to 
doing with my
accountability partner. 
I encourage you to check these books out and see what they can do for you !!

When... a rambling 3 am rant

There are those times when you feel like you have to give up on things even when you know you should stay strong. I  usually would never write these feelings out for everyone to see but i guess it is time to say something to hopefully get back to what i may actually miss.

Growing up i dealt with a lot of things that "normal" people may not have to deal with. I have always had this "gift" of seeing. Weather it be a spirit or a moment that has yet to happen even earth quakes. Wait people i promise i am not crazy. This is something that has been apart of my family even before i was born. I never knew how to deal with it or talk to people about it. One day i opened up. BIG mistake. I thought i could easily talk to someone. You know with out judgment. Boy was i wrong. I love honesty even when it may hurt but do not do well with ignorance. I am always judged as the girl who wants to be important or does things to be noticed when in reality i am no where near that person. I have accomplished so much in my life that it would be easy to build myself up to make myself sound important. Yet there are just a few "gifts" that deff couldnt be used to do so.

So i took the time to let someone in. To share this and ask an opinion on how to make it better. I from a very young age could tell you just from feeling alone and sometimes vision that there would be a earthquake. This brought people in my life who witnessed it to the point where they would make sure to have all safety measures ready just in case. So when i had to people there to back me up when sharing this i still expected to have to go further in to what i see and dont see. By no means did i expect this person to make me feel like i was just trying to seem important. Actually the question that i had asked was, i am having trouble sleeping because i cant deal with the feelings that these visions bring anymore what do you think i should do? the response was " in my opinion i think that this is in your head and that it is more about feeling important then anything else." WOW

Even if you dont believe or you think i am off my rocker why would you  say that to someone who came to you because they were in a bad way? Why would you want to be hurtful? People who know me know i am not one who needs to feel important that when someone crosses me i usually delete them out of my life. I am working really hard not to shut down and to continue getting better at being me. But it is hard when you no longer have a want to be around these people. To be apart of anything they are doing. It is hard to share something to just be shut down. ITS HARD.
Hopefully getting this out finally and saying something even if no one hears it or can understand my rambling it will feel better. I can try to get back to the life i was enjoying. I watch who i talk to now and what i share but i still want to be open.

we shall see

The Husband Project

I am finding it really hard to want to get started on this, but know that my reasons are just why i need to stick with it. My hubs and i are butting heads due to him being laid off and home everyday. When i clean i like my space and when i blog i like my space and when i read i like my space. The thing is my hubs likes my space too.
You may be thinking why is this bad?? Well only because i like my space! I have not had time to miss him and i think that is the biggest issue. But i will get off of my boohoo mind frame and jump straight in it.
Whats the worst that can happen.... he might just want space him self :)

project 1- 30 Minutes is all it takes

Create some free time when he gets home.

The Project:
Focus on your husbands transitional 30 min today. Would he like to be left alone to rest and rejuvenate, or does he want some undivided attention from you? The point is to let your Husband know you value what he does out in the world, and that he has a safe, loving place to come home to and get refreshed at the end of the day.

My Plan For The Day :

My plan for the day is simple. Since at the moment my husband is laid off i will be focusing on a rejuvenating time for him to take to him self away from the children to read the bible or play some madden which ever he chooses. This will be so that he doesnt feel like he has a task at home that he might have to complete. This time is for him and only him!

His Reaction/My Results:

The Husband Project - the new start

The Husband Project , 21 Days of Loving Your Man On Purpose and With a Plan. I have mentioned this book so many times and have even started it as well. I always seem to quit half way through feeling like it is not needed.

Well this time its different. I am not doing it out of a need of necessity but because i simply want to. Each day for the next 21 days i will be doing a project out of this book. Starting first thing in the morning i will love my husband with a plan and a want and complete this very simple challenge.  

trying

i am trying. i am praying. i know things arent easy and i know they all come in time and when they are truly needed. so i am trying to wait and i am hopeful when it will.
