Help! I'm Compulsive!

Today I had a day off from work and had some rare time at home alone. Don't get me wrong, I dearly love having my family around, but every once in a while a day at home alone is glorious! The first thing that I did was light some candles. With three sons, we have to be very careful with candles, so while it was just me...I lit away!

And lit some more...I decided to count how many I had lit...there were 10!


But that is ok, I had a task that needed to be attended to. I'm bearing my soul here for all to see...my messy, unorganized bathroom. This is not the way I usually operate, but I love lotions, bath gels, hair stuff, etc. Oh, and the Avon lady lives next door to me! How convenient to feed my addiction to these lovely things. So...for accountability sake, here it is... the ugly mess


What a mess! I unloaded, threw away in one pile and gave to a local thrift store that which I just wasn't going to use anymore. Here is what is left: Please tell me that you all have this much girly stuff in your bathroom right??? You never know what kind of mood you will be in. Don't worry, my moods are covered with scents, baby, floral, sensual, deep moisturizing - I've got it all


But after the sorting and trashing, what is left got neatly put away and this is the final result!



Thanks for going through this experience with me. Candles, lotions and hair products may be a bit compulsive for me... but as long as it is neat, I"m ok with it!

    I'm a candle fanatic! They are so relaxing. I light them when I'm stressed. : )

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
