It all started with my devotions this morning Psalms 17:6
I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give eat to me and hear my prayer.
As you all know yesterday my 8th graders laptop completely died on us and we are having to rethink his school year. Do I purchase another laptop for or do we switch to books???? I went into a panic mode and got on to the homeschoolounge.com and asked my homeschool friends for suggestions....one of them told me to stop and pray..relax and breath...when things seem so crazy and out of control it is not a good time to make decisions. Okay I know this and yet I react and forget to ask God for HELP! So I did I stopped and I have been praying about it! I even retrieved to my room for alone time and did some spiritual reading and relaxed.
Today's devotion was on calling God before anyone else when something BIG happens okay again God with love and tenderness reminds me to go to him in times of PANIC.
Then I went on to reading this the Heart of the Matter online magazine article and it was a post that hit home and close to my heart! Read it for yourself http://heartofthematteronline.com/
The title is Heigh-HO! Mining Treasures in the 2010 by Leslie W
I could have not said it better!!
She came up with 10 things to make memories for 2010 and as you all know that is my GOAL for 2010 to make memories daily and in everything! So I will use her layout as my blueprint for 2010.
1.Plan- okay I do this but not when it comes to FUN
2.Practice-living in the moment.....I am only guaranteed today!
3.Preserve- journal about my days so that I can keep them forever!
4.Photograph- take daily pictures of my daily events even the ones that make me stress and I will laugh about them later!
5.Participate- I usually make an excuse for not going to Mom's Night Out, field trips, events. I will get out of my comfort zone and start building relationships with others and making memories with my kids.
6. Pray-Over my days and all my plans and allow the Lord to lead.
7.Pick it up- Have before bed clean ups and organize school books daily
8. Praise- Uplift my kids daily !
9.Play- Okay you know I DON'T do much of this and will do daily!
10.Pamper myself- I tend to put myself last but if I don't relax, rest and restore I burn out and take it out on my family. So this year I have a plan on making time for myself and get re-energized daily!
11.Exercise and Eat-Clean- 6 meals a day, gallon of water, green tea, supplements!
I love this list and will have in a print out form in front of me DAILY!
Every night I will journal about my day and ask myself:
Did I accomplished all on my list today?
How can I plan better for tomorrow?
Then I will evaluate the areas in my day that need work and pray over them and start all over.
Hope this uplifts your heart and leads you to walk closer to GOD!
Blessed Much....Jessie

God is amazing Jess and it is those crazy moments where He is able to reveal more of Himself and His power! As much as I hate not being in control I do love watching his miracles :)
