The Golden Key

"Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is,
and think about God instead.
It may be a big thing or a little thing;
it may concern health, FINANCE, a quarrel . . .
or anything else conceivable;
but whatever it is,
just stop thinking about it, and think of God instead. . .

IF you are thinking about your difficulty,
you are NOT thinking about God.

Do not struggle.
Each time you find your attention wandering,
just switch it straight back to God.
You do your half.
And God will never fail to do His."

Thankful

It is a beautiful day and I am so thankful to be sharing it with the amazing men in my life. I am blessed to have healthy and happy children. I am blessed to have a husband who loves me and works hard for our family. I had a tough week working through some heartache. I am glad to celebrate getting through it all with our church family and our beautiful boys.

Begin Again

This is my fourth blog. I deleted my other three. There are a couple of reasons the others didn't work out. One was for business we decided to let go in order to focus on the needs of our family. One focused on my professional passions. One focused on my passion for my friends. I was trying to segment the things I love. If you know me well, you know I can't do that.

I am passionate about the men in my life. I am passionate about greening my lifestyle. I am passionate about healthy and wholeful eating. I am passionate about my profession and serving my families. I love my friends--they are my family. This blog will be different. This blog will be a combination of all those passions. It will be a gift and not something I make an obligation for myself. I look forward to sharing with you.
