Good Plans Make for Great Weeks

 
 
 
This rarely happens, but Saturday found me with a day to spend at home, no place I needed to be AND...all the housework was done!  Laundry caught up, supper in crock pot and a day ready to do what I wanted to do!  Sweet hubby had some outside work to do, so once Gunsmoke was over and he headed outside, I grabbed the remote, hit the couch and took in an hour of The Pioneer Women on the cooking channel!
 
Would you believe that The Pioneer Woman is trying to eat healthier?  Right up my ally!  I found  a few 'have to try' recipes that will be happening this week at our home.   Then another show came on - Farmhouse Rules with more delicious recipes to try! 
 
This little blog of mine was started many years ago as an effort to be an encouragement to Christian women.  Not from one who has it all together, but to invite others to come along on the journey towards being a godly woman.  Amidst the challenges, joys and daily routines of life, God's grace is always there.   On days like today where is time to breathe, I love to plan.  Then I love to share here and keep a reminder before me! 
 
Here are two recipes I'm trying this week!
 
I'm using prepared hummus and leaving out the artichoke for the first try!!
 
Getting in a few mom points with these easy cookies!
 
I visit a lot of blogs and love how many have a passion and focus on one area.  I'm a little scattered and have several areas that important to me!  Some of my passions are family, creating a cozy home and a healthy lifestyle.  Good plans make for great weeks and when you can incorporate your values into actions, it's a great step to fulfil your passions of 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.
