Where every little thing was stressing me out...<br />
Most morning my son is on top of things and is ready before any one else. Well not this particular morning. He did not want to go to school, so he was going to drag his feet about getting ready. And to add this Tina had physical therapy at 7 am, Vicky needed her uniform washed for the softball game that afternoon and Sammy was not being her cheerful self that morning.<br />
<br />
Due to lack of sleep the night before (didn't get off work until 1 am), I was a little tired and not functioning correctly. So after yelling at everyone a half a dozen times or more, I went to the safest place in the house. I run up the upstairs and locked the bathroom door behind me. I sat down on my throne, took a few deep breathes and thanked God for blessing me with four very strong willed children. Then asked God to help me get through the rest of the morning. I walked out of the bathroom, carried on the rest of my morning, and got all the kids to school.<br />
<br />
<div>
Being a mom, plus working full time can be hard and stressful. With a Monday morning like that I was ready to crawl back in bed and forget about the rest of the day. But it does not work that way. I took some time myself, did some researched and reflected on the things in my own life. I was able to come up with a few things that help other moms, like myself handle stress.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Stop, and Just Breathe - </b></div>
<div>
When feeling a little anxious, just take a 5 minute break and breathe slowly and deeply. Slow breathes have been proven to help reduce the stress hormones in your body. Hey, we all need to breathe any ways. So give it a try. Nice and slowly.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Take Time For Yourself - </b><br />
Schedule time for yourself. It can be anything, from reading a new book, attending an art class, lunch date with a girlfriend, or starting a blog. Each week I have a few hours put the side that I call ME Time. I use that time to do something for myself. And that does not mean cleaning the house or grocery shopping. </div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Reflect on the Joy in Your Life- </b></div>
<div>
Journaling promotes reflection and organization of your thoughts. Your entries can be long or short, as longs as they are positive. Write about the achievements of your day, what your grateful for, the little things of life. There is a two fold with this Journal, not only is it making you think and write down positive things, but you can look back onto those little blessings God has given you.</div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Exercise, Health Body, Health Mamma - </b></div>
<div>
Did you know when you exercises it releases endorphin's, which actual helps improve your mood and general well being of your body. You can start out small with a 10 minute walk during lunch, join a Zumba class, or even download the C25K app. What ever it may be, just get up and move.</div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Sleep, Mamma needs her rest too - </b><br />
Lack of sleep can be the cause of many different health issues, included being a Stressed Out Mamma. And face it, us moms just don't get enough sleep. New born babies need to be feed every few hours, toddlers have a hard time sleeping in their own beds, and teenagers seem to miss their curfew. Regardless of what season of life you are in moms just don't get enough sleep. Need to make sure that you are getting the sleep your body needs to function correctly. </div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Slow Down and Take in the Scenery - </b></div>
<div>
Did you know that spending time in the outdoors acts as a natural antidepressant? One of my favorite things to do is hike. I feel at peace, taking in the Creation of God. You might like to go fishing off the river, or walk the dog through the park or sun bath in the back yard. Whatever it may be, spending more time outdoors will help lower your feeling stress.<br />

I thought I was going to be nice and go get donuts this morning. Now I did have other motives behind going to get donuts, I had no creamer nor milk for my coffee. So of course I was willing to go out in the freezing cold to Casey's to get donuts for the family. <br />
<br />
So my half asleep body made its way to Casey's. I placed the gallon of milk, donuts, and creamer in the back seat of the truck and made my way back to home. But my morning took a bad turn, when I went to open the back door, the gallon of milk fell to the ground.<br />
<br />
I was think no big deal, it should be fine. But I was wrong, so wrong. I am standing outside crying because the gallon of milk was not fine. It had got a big crack in it, more like a long split down the whole side. Trying to at least salvage so of the milk for breakfast, I had gotten milk all down my black coat. <br />
<br />
I finally gave up, still crying over the spilled milk and upset with myself, I some how manage to drop the box of donuts. Three of the dozen fall out of the box and on to the ground. The dirty ground.<br />
<br />
"That's it, I want to go back to bed", I said to myself, as I am still crying over spilled milk.<br />
<br />
I finally make my way in the house, crying still and upset with myself. My husband, the innocent bystander asked what happen. And then I have a MOMent. I start going off at him, I don't even remember what now. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What is wrong with me? </b></span><br />
<br />
All of us have our struggles. For me, I get upset about the little things. Like spilled milk. But when it comes to bigger issues, I can handle it (with the help of my Savior). I need to learn how to allow Him in my little problems of life, like spilled milk.<br />

The Do's and Don'ts of Black Friday Shopping </h2>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Don't wear your favorite pair of heals. Heals only increase your chance of tripping and being trampled by a herd of early morning shoppers.</li>
<li>Do choose to wear your sneakers. A sturdy pair of sneakers will provide comfort for the all day shopping spree. Plus less chances of a visit to the emergency room.</li>
<li>Do bring plenty of credit cards. Call your bank prior, to make sure they receive your final payment on your previous Black Friday bill. It will clear the way for this year's.</li>
<li>Don't rely on your checkbook. The easiest way to ignite a burning anger in a long line of customers, is to pull out the checkbook.</li>
<li>Do have some cash on hand. Having a back up plan when you have already maxed out all 10 of your credit cards.</li>
<li>Do use technology to your advantage. There's an app for that! There is tons of new apps in iTunes store towards Black Friday shopping.</li>
<li>Don't rely on social media to lead the direction of your shopping exploration. Remember to keep all those exclusive deals and locations to yourself. Disable Twitter.</li>
<li>Do drink plenty of coffee. 6 to 12 cups of coffee should be enough to get you through the morning.</li>
<li>Don't drink the wine left over from Thanksgiving dinner. Drunk shopping is only acceptable when shopping only online.</li>
<li>Do invite plenty of shopping buddies. Sometime having a couple of extra hands will help when carrying the shopping bags out to the mini van.</li>
<li>Don't bring small children. The last thing you want to worry about is a missing kid, where's the bathroom, or even an overly tired kid crying.</li>
<li>Do be patient and have a great Shopping Day.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Most know that I have worked retail for many years now, and seen my share of Black Fridays. But not only have I been on the retail end of this big event, but also have had the chance to shop this during this major event. In the midst of my shopping experience, I have learned a few things.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you meet Mary. She is this 13 year old that is turning onto this beautiful young lady. Now she does belong to that poor family on the edge of town. They don't have much and I don't see Mary becoming much either. But did hear she recently got engaged to Joseph. He is that young carpenter that lives in town. Maybe she will get that 'happily ever after.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the eyes of Mary's community, she was not going where. She had all the characteristics that would make her unusable by God. God on the other hand saw a young Jewish girl's servant heart. He find favor upon Mary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luke 1:26-37</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"I am the Lord's servant...May it be to me as you have said." Vs. 36</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now God's favor on Mary did not bring her success nor fame. Becoming the mother of the Messiah would lead to much pain, ridicule from her peers, possibility of her fiance leaving her, and her son would be rejected by his people and eventually murdered. But her simple reply was 'Lord Use Me.' When God is calling you, your reply needs to be 'I am the Lord's servant, use me.'</span><br />

Eve was approached by Satan, disguised as a crafty serpent in the Garden of Eden, where she and Adam lived. Satan questioned Eve's contentment, by getting her to doubt God's goodness. How can she be really happy when God has forbidden her to eat from one of the fruit trees in the Garden? (Genesis 3:1) Satan helped Eve turn her focus from all what God has done and given to the one thing he has withheld from her. (Genesis 3:5) Eve was too willing to accept what Satan was saying before checking with God. (Genesis 3:6) Sounds all too familiar, right? Taking a closer look at verse 6, we can see that Eve had done the following: she looked, she took, she eat, then she gave. When in our own sins, we too follow the same pattern.</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>She Looked</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>"...the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye..." Genesis 3:6a</b><br />
<br />
The battle over sin is too often lost after the first look. Temptation often begins by simple seeing something you want. We get that, "I've got to have that" feeling. Eve believed Satan's lie, just like I have time after time. Our sins do not always appear to be wrong to us. Satan makes them appear good, pleasant, or desirable. We can not always prevent temptation, but there is always a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13). Using God's Word and God's people, can help you stand against Satan and his lies.<br />
<br />
<b>She Took, She Eat</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>"...and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some, and eat it." Genesis 3:6b</b><br />
<br />
People often choose to do wrong things because they were convinced that those things are good, or at least for themselves the are. Eve was convinced by Satan that eating the fruit will make her 'like God, knowing good and evil' (Genesis 3:5). A knowledge of both good and evil seemed harmless enough to her. It was not wrong for Eve to want to be like God. To become more like God is humanity's highest goal. But Satan, misled Eve on how to accomplish this goal. He told her that she could be like God by defining God's authority, eating of the fruit.<br />
<br />
<b>She Gave</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>"She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he eat it." Genesis 3:6c</b><br />
<br />
After Eve had sinned, she involved Adam with her wrongdoing. How often do we try to relieve our guilt by involving someone else when we sin. It is so easy to drag someone down with you.<br />
<br />
<b>Looking at Jesus own Life</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>"Away from me Satan! For it is written..." Matthew 4:10a</b><br />
<br />
Jesus was able to resist all of Satan's temptations because He not only knew the scripture, but He also obeyed it. Ephesians 6:17 says that God's Word is a sword to use in spiritual war. Knowing the Bible is an important key part in helping us resist Satan's attacks but we also need to obey it as well. Looking at Matthew 4:1-11, we can see that Satan too know the Scripture, but he lacked one thing, to obey it. Knowing and obey the Bible helps us follow God's desires rather than Satan's.<br />

Eve was the final piece of God's creation puzzle. Adam was no longer was 'alone' (Gen 2:18), he now had a 'help mate' (Gen 2:20), someone to have fellowship with, someone else made in the image of God (Gen 1:27).</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Image of God</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />"Then God said, 'Let us make man in Our image, according to our likeness...'" Genesis 1:26a </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Did you know that the moon has no light of its own? It reflects the sun's light. Just like the moon's light is the reflection of the sun's light, we too are the reflection of the image of God. We have the ability to reflect his character in our love, in our patience, in our forgiveness, in our kindness, and in our faithfulness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>"Then the Lord God fashioned into a woman from the rib which He had taken from man, and brought her to the man." Genesis 2:22</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I love this verse. It reminds us of how much God loved Eve. God could have made Eve from dust from the ground, just like Adam. But God choose to 'fashion' Eve from Adam's flesh and bone. Not Adam's head, for him to rule over her. Not Adam's foot, for him to stump on her. But Adam's rib, for the two of them to work side by side, a special partnership. I feel that God used this to illustrate to us that marriage between one man, one woman become one flesh. This is a special union between a man and a woman that is taken seriously throughout the Bible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good..." Genesis 1:31</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>God saw that ALL of his creation was very good. Eve was complete and beautifully made. Think about it Adam had just finished naming all the "livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the fields" (Gen 2:20), but he was unable to find a suitable 'helpmate'. So God, fashioned woman from Adam's rib and flesh and He brought Eve to Adam. And what is Adams response? The first poem:<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"This now bone of my bones,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and flesh of my flesh,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she shall be called woman,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for she was taken out of man."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Genesis 2:23 NIV</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: normal;">Eve was not like the other creatures God had created. She was beautifully fashioned in the image of God. The final piece of God's puzzle of creation. </span><br />

They are fun, silly, outgoing, energetic, and they love hanging out with their youth leader.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Beep, beep, beep...."Lord help me make it through another busy day." I whisper a short prayer before rolling out of bed. I hit the bathroom, brush my teeth and change into my work out clothes. As I make my way to the kitchen for my morning coffee I stop by Jr.'s room to get him up for school.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Good morning, Buddy. Time to get up and get in the shower." He wipes the sleepy from his eyes and makes a 'b' line for the bathroom still half a sleep. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I start my coffee pot, I hear Rose (our 3 year old Pit Bull) wrestling around in the laundry room. I open the door to found out she got sick in the middle of the night. Just one more mess that mom will have to clean up. I grab the leash to take Rose around the yard...oh yea she got sick again. I really need to make sure the kids stop feeding her table scrapes. Rose and I make our ways back into the house, I can smell the coffee brewing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Thank you, God for coffee."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With cup of coffee in hand, I finish my mourning rounds. Vicky's room is next. This is one teenager I wish would get up and ready the first time. Not Vicky. Not even the the 3rd, 4th time. But no. It takes about after the 8th, sometimes even the 9th time before she gets up. She really is not a morning person. By the time she gets up and ready, the three other kids are ready, animals feed, and trash taken out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I round up the kids, I manage to get them all in the truck. As we make our to the Jr/Sr High, I am reminding everyone of their schedule for today. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Vicky, yearbook after school. Also there will be a Pork Roast in the cork pot, if can make some rice and steamed veggies. Billy, walk Rose and make sure the cans make it to the street tonight. Love you both, have a good day, I will see you when I get off work around 9pm."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next stop grade school, to drop off Tina and Sammy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"You two, need to make sure you bring home a an AR book to read. Also make sure the two of walk home together, lets not have what happen last week. Love you, have a good day. I will tuck you in when I get home tonight around 9pm."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week Sammy decided that she wanted to go to Hailey's house after school. She told Tina, plus tired calling the house but dad did not answer. So when I got home, the kids said that Sammy was at the neighbors, bit no sign of Sammy. I freaked out for about 30 mins trying to call and drive around looking for Sammy. New set rule in the house. You most talk to an adult before going out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Me time! With it being such a beautiful spring morning, I figured I would just stop by Red Hill State Park and walk the trails instead of hitting the gym. A different change of scenery would be good for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love it out here. It was still cool out, morning dew on the ground. The birds chirping, flying from tree limb to tree limb. The squirrels wrestling around on the dead leafs on the ground. I had totally forgot about my hectic morning. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">"Thank you, God for this peace. You know what I need and when I need it." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">(Psalm 139:5)</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished walking through the trails, just talking with God. For 30mins I felt Eve. Walking through out the garden or in my case the woods and fully clothed. Just enjoying the present of the Lord. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the middle of my hectic life there is God. "He fills my life with good things." (Psalm 103:5) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have learned to embrace Monday Mornings and allow God to be more part of my life.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Young Artists at work. I turned my dinning room into a art studio. Purchased some small white canvas and other art supplies. Placed a birthday table cloth on the table, gave the perfect space for these little artists some room for their creativity.</span></td></tr>

<h3>
So with St Patrick's Day being today, I figured I would take advantage of Pinterest and see what new dessert I can make for my fellow co-workers. I came across this really easy idea for cupcakes.</h3>

After cupcakes have cooled, apply frosting to each cupcake. Next you place a Rainbow Candy on the cupcake, place to where it arches like a Rainbow. Next use the mini marshmallows to help keep from not sliding off the cupcake. I placed marshmallows all round the base of each side of the Rainbows. Plus the mini marshmallows look like clouds. And enjoy.</span></h3>

<span style="font-size: large;">Being a mom of four, has plenty of challenges of its own, but when you add a full time management position in retail, makes it crazy. I have been working a crazy schedule for the last two months, and I can tell it is taking a toll on my youngest. She wrote me a letter wanting me to take one day a week for 'mommy and Sammy time'. After reading this letter, I felt heart broken. I have been working a lot and have not had a whole lot of time with my kids, one on one time with each.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The two of us find a quite spot and made a list of different things that we want to do together. We did not stop there, I opened up my planner and we started planning our first date. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Twenty-Five plus date ideas with your kids:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Picnic: at the park or on the floor in the living room</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Hiking or long walk with the dog</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Coffee Date: Coffee for Mommy, hot chocolate for Sammy</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Afternoon of Crafts: I have Pinterest Board full of them</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Special Dinner/Lunch: out on the town or just stay in</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy a sunset or stargaze</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Movie: at the theaters or at home</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><u>Directions</u></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Preheat oven at 375. Brown the ground beef and drain grease completely. Chopped medium onion and tomatoes, shred lettuce and cut up avocados. Add the taco seasonings, water and chopped onion to ground beef. Let the ground beef mixture simmer for about 10 min. Scoop ground beef mixture into soft taco shells, standing them up side by side in a casserole dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese in each taco. Bake in oven for 10 mins. Serve hot, don't forget the topics.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Learn to Love Your Real Life</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As moms, we all struggle. We fall short to our own standards. You are not alone. You are among friends. Jill Savage in <i><a href="http://www.nomoreperfectmoms.com/" target="_blank">No More Perfect Moms</a></i> provides the antidote to the Perfection Infection so that imperfect moms can be set free from impossible exceptions of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like most moms, we have this desire to be the perfect mom. We read books and magazines, we plan and prepare, we dream and determine that everything is going to be perfect. 'There are no perfect moms - just imperfect women who will fall off the pedestal of their own expectations more often than they can care to admit.' </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">'We must understand that the imperfect parts of our lives are counterbalanced with the reality of a perfect God who longs to shine His light through the cracks in our lives.'</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a must read survival guide for moms of all ages. And don't just read it alone, get a few other moms to read it with you. Jill has a leader's guide, discussion videos and other additional information to go along with this book.</span><br />

<h4>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Add a glow stick </span></b></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">Glow-stick bracelets are available at most dollar stores. We had used a dozen glow-stick bracelets, dozen med size plaster eggs, and some tape. Open the plastic egg, snap the bracelet, you might want to shake the bracelet a little. Roll up the bracelet glow sticks, put them in an plastic egg (you might need to put a little tape around the egg, depending on the size of the egg), then hide them around the yard. You could also do this in your house with the lights off.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So don't be afraid to try something new, step out of the box, out of the normal. Who knows, your teenager might actual enjoy playing along with the younger kids.</span><br />

Most who know me, know that I am one busy lady.<br />Between...<br />running a household<br />rushing to work<br />leading and coaching others<br />planning meals and shopping<br />volunteering my time<br />mentoring<br />all the while raising four kids and trying to charm my loving husband.<br />I wish I can tell you that I have it together. I don't. And if I tell you I do have it together, I just lied to you. </h3>
<br />
<br />
In the Bible, it talks about the wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon. He had left us a legacy of written wisdom in three different books of the Bible - Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. These three books gives us insight and guidelines of life. Turning to the book of Proverbs, it begins with a command to fear the Lord (1:7) and ends with this beautiful portrait of a woman who fulfills this command.<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
"the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline"</h4>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
This 'Super Woman's' qualities are mentioned throughout the whole book of Proverbs...</div>
<div>
works hard</div>
<div>
has respect for her spouse</div>
<div>
encourages others</div>
<div>
cares for others</div>
<div>
has a concern for the poor</div>
<div>
shows wisdom in handling money</div>
<div>
all the while she fears the Lord</div>
<div>
These qualities lead to enjoyment, success, honor, and worth.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
"an excellent wife is a rare find (vs.10)...can be trusted in every way (vs11-12)...is concerned for others (vs20)...is strong and stable (vs.25)...a woman who fears the Lord (vs.30)"</h4>
<br />
I feel that there are three important factors to learn from these verses that every woman needs to practice in her own life.<br />
<h4>
Wisdom </h4>
Timeless wisdom comes from God, not just reading a book, or getting a degree. Knowledge is a good thing to have, but there is a big difference between "knowledge", having the facts and "wisdom", applying those facts to life. We might have all the knowledge of the world, but without wisdom our knowledge means nothing.<br />
Looking back at Proverbs 1:7, 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Knowledge, but fools despise wisdom'...there is that word again, WISDOM. God wants us to be wise. There are two types of people, two different paths. The fool, who is stubborn and ignores God. The wise, who seeks to know and love God. When we choose God's way of doing things, he gives us the wisdom we need. His word helps us to live right, have the right relationships, and make the right decisions. <br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Priorities</h4>
<div>
We all have heard the phrase 'Too much to do, in so little time.' I am guilty for saying this just as much as the next mom. On those days I know I have committed to too much, I did not make wise choices, or I just plain out do not say 'NO'. Easier said then done, right. </div>
<div>
Proverbs 31 can be a fundamental part of becoming an effective woman. It is clear in the Bible what a married woman's life and ministry are to be: centered in her home. Centered, I did not say only. This 'Super Woman' of Proverbs 31, only 'brings her husband good' (vs. 12), 'provides food for her family' (vs. 15), 'she works vigorously' (vs. 17), 'she opens her arms to the poor' (vs. 20), 'she watches over the affairs of her household' (vs. 27), and most of all she is a 'woman who fears the Lord' (vs. 30). There are three major priorities that are within these verses: fear the Lord, be a helper to your Husband, and be a world-changer. Once these are in place everything else will fall in place.</div>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Family</h4>
<div>
A strong marriage is built upon God's principles of love, respect, and teamwork. If the marriage is not strong, how can the family be strong. </div>
<div>
Turning to the book of Ephesians, Paul enlightens us with some relationship tips dealing with family life. In chapter 5, goes into how wives are to respect their husbands and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church (vs. 33). Oneness between the two. It means caring for your spouse as you care for yourself, learning to anticipate her or his needs, to help each other become all that he or she can be. This was God's plan in the beginning (Gen 2:24) and Jesus also had referred to this as well (Matt 19:4-6). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
This 'Super Woman' of Proverbs 31 has outstanding abilities. But her strength and poise do not come from her amazing achievements in life. It was a result of her reverence for God. I want to be a better wife and mother, a better woman overall. But my greatest desire is have a closer relationship with God, as his daughter.<br />
