Changes Ahead

Our family is so blessed to have a husband and father who is a hard worker. He is diligent to do a good job in all that he does and carries himself with integrity at all times. When our children were young, it was a priority for us for me to stay at home and care for them. What a blessing that was and a time I will always treasure in my heart. So now that they are all in school, I have a part time job which works around the school hours, but DH (dear husband) is the main breadwinner.
The job area has came with challenges through the years for DH. He has never had an "easy" job and has suffered through difficult people, circumstances, lay offs, trainings etc., but he has always continued forward and has always been a great provider.
One area which affects our family the most is shift work. When daddy is on shift work, the whole family is on shift work. Dinners, sleep and activities all must rotate around daddy's shift. At his job, DH was moved to a day shift position several months ago. We have enjoyed having him home every evening and weekend. But recently we sought the Lord in prayer about him returning to the position he was previously at on shift work. God answered our prayers very clearly and he is now going back to shift work beginning this weekend.
So, the boys and I have a weekend ahead of us alone. What should we do??? Go shopping! The boys need some clothes for cooler weather and I am always up for a shopping trip, so our plans for tomorrow include a trip to the mall. Maybe they will let me take some pictures and I'll share our "fun" with you!!!

    I like that you are so supportive of your hubby and you honor him by keeping to his schedule. You are esteeming your hubby and that is what God calls us to do. You are a wise woman. Have fun with the kids.

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...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
