A time apart

It's been awhile since I was last able to post. Things have been honestly to busy and consuming. It's a sad place to be in life when you say consuming. Yes my life here of late has been consuming, time draining, and just flat out busy!

I am resolved to stop the hussle and bussle of this life, keep my eyes on Jesus, and take time to just breath. This is my goal for the rest of this week. I want to be busy about my own work in my home. I have many things I need to get done laundry being a main priority!!! You know what tho I do praise the Lord for my washer/dryer and the other thing I praise him for will be that we have NO laundry in heaven. I will have a robe of white and I don't think I will have to worry about getting dirty in heaven :) I just recently prayed for new clothes the other day because I was lacking decent looking tops and starting to look very undone.
The Lord answer my prayer speedily and gave me the desire of my heart. I cleaned a house this Monday and the lady I cleaned for had 2 huge totes of perfectly good clothes in them; some brand new with tags on. She told me to go thru them and to take whatever I liked. My goodness the Lord blessed everything I picked up was my size and things that were in style and modest. God is so good! I didn't even have to go looking for the clothes I needed! Anyways that was a total side note! If you know me very well you know this is exactly how I would talk to you in person ;) Back on track now....I have to go thru the girl's clothes this week and decide what needs to me put in our garage sale this summer and what I can hand down to my niece. I have plenty of clothes for Justice as she grows up and as she has been growing out of things I have been trying to downsize in the amount of clothes I do keep for future children. Just so you know the girls and I are faithfully praying for a baby boy!!! Faith has been asking the Lord for a brother for 5 months now I hope the Lord blesses that prayer!

I still have my regular duties to attend to this week a MOPS meeting, my ladies group, and probably a Friday night meeting too, but I am resolved to be about my business for the rest of this week. I am hoping to get into a routine of going to bed earlier like seriously 9-9:30. My husband is going to think I have lost it! Then being able to rise early possibly hit the gym, do my devotion/prayer time, get ready, and then start my day with my family. I know this needs to happen.

I discussed with Faith today that we would be taking a break from school this week and that we were going to get lots of work done at home. I let her know that I would need her help with her sister. I also promised her a trip to the dollar store for a toy if she can help me out with a good attitude. She was more than willing to agree to play kindly with her sister! What a sweetie! I love that I can tell her exactly what I need from her and she is so willing to please me! I know it won't always be like that so I am cherishing it now.

Well friends, family, and dear loved ones I better be about my business. I would appreciate prayers for the rest of this week. Prayers that I will be able to get much accomplished to make my home a haven of peace and comfort for my husband when he comes home from work. I am going to do my work as unto the Lord and for His glory. I know it will be pleasing to Him for me to do this for my husband and children.

God Bless
