About Me

The life of a single homeschooling mom and full time student can be difficult but I still enjoy every single minute that God blesses me with. The Lord has led me through some hard times and into some wonderful places. I give my life to Him to shape as only He can. I AM CLAY IN HIS HANDS!

My New Favorite Website!

Click here for my new fav website:
Bedashed: Praise to the Lord!
 
Have you ever wanted to have a place to keep all your thoughts and prayers and also listen to worship music and watch sermons and shout out praises! Yea...me either....LOL! I mean, I wasn't really looking for this when I found it, but I guess that was mainly because I didn't know it existed. I was just looking for on online prayer journal because I can stay focused better when I am typing because I can type faster than I can write. But I didn't want to just have a word document or something because with my luck I would lose it or something and I wanted to be able to look back at my past prayer requests. So, this is how I ended up finding this site and IT IS GREAT! I read the devos they post every day and there are really good reads. It also offers and Bible reading plan. I don't follow that plan though because I already had a plan on my phone that I was following....but I looked at it and the plan looks great for anyone that doesn't already have  a Bible reading plan. Anyway, check the site...I love it and I hope you will too!
 
Be blessed!

Well, I am back at it! I know that I said in an older post that I am not runner and I suppose that is true but I can JOG! I am actually on Week 5 of the C25K program and it feels GREAT! I am doing it on the treadmill and it actually keeps me pushing a little harder. When I am just running outside I can slow down as I go but on the treadmill I walk at a pace of 2.5 and I jog at a pace of 4.3, no slowing down or speeding up...the treadmill keeps me accountable for sure. Now, if anyone has walked or ran on a treadmill they know that 4.2 isn't exactly a speedy pace but you know what, it is MY pace! Do what you can...doing something is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. I am signed up for my first 5K on June 28, 2014. I am doing the color run and I can't wait! I really won't be done with my training by then but that is okay. I am going to take it slow and enjoy myself. God gave me this body to live in while here in the natural and I am going to take care of it and have fun doing it! Be blessed!

It has been awhile

Just looked in at my blogs and realized that I haven't posted anything since 2013. Does that mean nothing has been going on? Oh no....it is actually just the opposite! I have been too busy to be blogging! School has got me running in circles and I am just now getting a very much needed break. Hanna is on break also, this has been a trying year for us both....actually, a trying few years! But I have learned and grown more in the last few years than I ever thought possible. If anyone had told me some years ago that I would be where I am today I would not have believed them. God is has brought me so far and is so good to me.

I am still going to Liberty, working on my MDiv in Professional Ministries. I am just taking two classes a semester so it is taking some time to get to get it completed but with God's help, I will get it done. What God has planned for me after I graduate, only He knows.

I am also still homeschooling my Hanna. We finally bought an online curriculum. I miss planning the curriculum myself but it has been super helpful. It has freed me up so that I can do my school while she does hers and then we can have time to work together and play together and go on missions together. It just frees us up so that we can really live out this life God has blessed us with!

Well, I do promise to start back with my blogging since I am finally getting a bit freed up....been setting some boundaries so that I can make first things first as God would have me do...

Be blessed!
