Productivity at It’s Finest

Bennett181 Comment

This week has been a very productive one, the only thing I found unproductive was the doctor’s visit yesterday.  They didn’t seem to be as helpful and only left me with more problems to worry about.  I will say Vacation Bible School was a success though.

Today I have been kind of going with the flow and you know it really is funny how much more relaxed I am than when I am worrying about every little detail of my typical day.  I guess the lesson I learned from this is don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control just go at your own pace.  🙂  Can’t believe it is already July 1st!!! Yikes, time is just a flying this year!  Soon school will be starting and then Christmas!

I am brainstorming as well on another book I am wanting to write.  I really enjoy dystopian fiction novels and science fiction.  🙂  Well I hope you all have had a great day and enjoy your family during this wonderful Holiday weekend! shutter3

My StoryBook

Sometimes I wonder if I am literally in the twilight zone :).  Laundry everywhere, toys scattered like death traps…Yikes! and  video games a blaring  while the cats are chasing each other from one end to the house to the other.  Yep, that is a typical day for me and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Being a mom is so enjoyable and has so much meaning.  Through the crazy and dramatic moments there are always unforgettable memories being created.  Life is like a story book with lots of amazing pictures.  The memories are the pictures and as you gain them you are building on your story.  So what is your story… What is your adventure?

We all have a story to tell no matter how interesting, strange, out of this world it may sound.  Everyone is different and has a purpose to fulfill.  No one can write your story except yourself.  Mine is to serve the Lord ALL the days of my life, standing by my beloved husband through it all, to be the best Mom I can possibly be to my Children, and live my life to the fullest!  🙂

Pinterest Addiction Alert

Yep…. That’s right!  Pinterest has become the latest fad in my little bubble!

When you have kiddos finding crafts can be a chore at times.  Not with Pinterest ❤️.  Nope!  All you have to do is browse and you will find something that will interest you! 😉

Trust me, Pinterest has everything you can think of.  I even promote my Avon and Jamberry businesses on there.  

It is a great place to also throw out your ideas to others as well.  Yep Pinterest has become this mommy’s new best friend!!!

God is so Great!

Patience is a hard trait to follow through on, especially when you are eager!  Recently I have been struggling with the ability to be patient.  As my health declines and the grief from my beloved grandfather takes a toll on me my ability to be patient has been tested.  

I am trying to rebuild myself one piece at a time.  Sometimes that’s all you can do!  As God tries us we tend to shut down and sulk.  But God is in control no matter what circumstance you may be facing!  Thank goodness!! God is my rock and foundation and without him I would fall to pieces!!!  God is so Great!!!!! 😊

Delayed Scoop! :)

I know it has been a while since I have written and I apologize about that.  There has been a whole lot of crazy going on and I decided to take a step back and take a breather.  Sometimes we need to take a step back and just breathe.

This week VBS started and it has been an AMAZING week :)!  I am really nervous though, this week we are hoping to find out if we will get a house that we are trying to buy.  That has a lot to do with my stress level recently.

I have been focusing on my Jamberry and Avon businesses.  It has been a great way for me to be productive in my free time and meet new people.  Also I have been working on my Dystopian Novel as well, hopefully I will have it finished by early August.   So I have been trying to keep myself busy throughout the chaos of summer.

Summer comes with its ups and its downs lol.  There is never a dull moment at my house that is for sure.  My four kids love to keep my world entertained and it is great.  Recently my daughter has discovered her creative side and has been drawing a lot more.  It is so sweet to watch them develop new skills and find themselves.  They are truly my world!

 

Moving Forward!

Recently I have been trying to take a step back and re-evaluate the plan God has in store for me.  Ever since I lost my grandfather I have been faced with many hurdles that has changed my perspective of many things.  Sometimes we get too comfortable and once our world is shaken or even broken by a catastrophic event in your life it can be nearly impossible to pick up all the pieces.  I lost myself in grief and ever since then my life has been tumbling into a spiral vortex until today.  Today I realized why my Grandfather sang  “Blessed Assurance” and the true meaning of this hymn.  My life is not my own, I forgot the meaning of being a servant unto the Lord.  I have been selfish and have pushed God away because I was hurt, in pain, and yes even angry.  I didn’t know how to cope and I built up a resistance while trying to fix myself.  Today I realized as I listened to that song on Pandora that I am wrong and that there is no way for me to fix myself but to lean on the Lord and His Grace.  God is with you no matter how bad the storm is in your life!   All you have to do is reach out to Him.

The Unexpected

Bennett18Leave a comment

We are always trying to solve problems!  It’s in our nature…right?  Well today I think I got a taste of what it is like to put all the pieces together.  It hurts sometimes to be faced with a problem that you can’t fix.  The problem I am dealing with is a frustrating one too.

I feel as if now I am going to have to take a step back and put a halt to my chaos!  God is truly testing my faith right now and I am hoping I am passing with flying colors considering the circumstances.

Within the midst of the complications I am having to overcome I have seen the beauty and grace of God’s love bloom in my life.  Today when I was going through my testing and I was faced with some complicating choices I realized their is so much to be thankful for.

Life is so easy to let slip away.  I have been forgetting the idea of making memories and just scurries through the day like a chicken with my head cut off!  The unexpected I guess isn’t a bad thing if you look at the good it can bring.  It helps you focus on your priorities and sorts them more accurately than if you had no problems to face.

Always remember life is full of bumps in the road.

Recently I have become obsessed with the beauty of photography.  I believe I have always loved it though but didn’t find the drive until recently.  Taking pictures has always been my thing especially when it came to my kids and my husband.  I find photography a beautiful way to tell a story.  As they say ‘a picture is worth a thousand words!’ yes, that is so true.  Check out my Facebook Page and Instagram page for a sneak peak at my recent works!!!

Dear Michael and Stephen Warren,

I miss you both dearly and hope you two have an amazing birthday tomorrow.  I am sorry I will not be there to partake in all the fun you two will be having.  Being a triplet is an experience, a joy, a unique bond that can never be broken no matter how far a part we are from each other.  I love you both and want you to know that I will always be here if you ever need me.  Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY you two.
