At my home, If Mama Ain't Planning...things fall apart. This mama needs focus, direction and guidance to run the home. I live by lists, or it doesn't get done! In any given day there is so much to keep track of, activities, meals, things that need to be done etc. if it is not written down, it is easily forgotten.

On the spiritual side, having something in print to guide me helps keep me accountable to daily Bible reading, Scripture memorization and putting down what the Lord spoke to me. This is a valuable tool for spiritual growth.

In fact, I have prayer journals, notebooks to record my thoughts, lists for goals in one place and in other places, grocery lists, meal lists, things I want to do lists....everywhere!!!

When the opportunity to review If Mama Ain't Planning came about, I immediately knew this was for me. I was not disappointed. This unique planner is a tool to keep everything you need for spiritual and daily planning in one place.

Monthly:

Included in this planner is a monthly calendar to record reflections and projects for the monthly along with three key verses to memorize. There is a suggested Bible reading for each weekday which correlates with a monthly theme for a character trait to enhance in your life. The monthly sheet is a great overview for spiritual accountability.

Weekly:

There is also a weekly planner which includes a place to write the key verse for memorization, daily Bible readings and a visual daily reminder of the monthly theme. Also in the weekly planner is a daily list for things that Must Be Done, May Be Done and even a place for the dinner menu. At one daily glance a verse to reflect on, a theme or character trait to work on and the steps you can take daily are before you.

This is without a doubt the best planner I have seen. It provides encouragement to grow spiritually combined with practical steps to enhance godly character and a place to record the action steps needed to move forward. This is the planner I have been waiting for!! Go ahead and try it, you will be blessed and enriched in your spiritual walk, more organized and effective in all areas of your life.

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

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
