Snow White

This morning I sat at my kitchen table talking to God. As I was reaffirming to myself that He is good and He loves me, I turned my head and in my backyard were 2 mama deers, a fawn and several squirrels. As I watched these beautiful creatures, I could hear God say “This is for you.” I gazed at these sweet, graceful creatures and was amazed at His creation. They didn’t stay long but as they…

Restoration

While I am on my treadmill every evening I love to watch Fixer Upper on TV. It keeps my mind off the fact that I am exercising! But the problem is it gets my creative juices flowing and then I have a mind full of things that I want to do. It is similar to what happens when I am in a store and see something I love – I think to myself “I can make that!” It is both a joy and a curse!

Love is...

Love is…

One of my favorite Bible verses is 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But…

Why Do You Want To Live?

My father had his first attack at 54. I remember being so afraid that he would die. He didn’t seem young to me but not old enough to die. The trauma and the subsequent years since then gave me a keen awareness of my mortality. I have worked proactively to eat right and exercise to avoid the roadblocks in my health. It doesn’t always work but it certainly increases my chances!

Fast forward to now.…

Regardless of whether or not this season leaves you feeling grieved or joyful, barren or expectant, Christ’s birth intersects our circumstances with a steady, unwavering hope.

3 Things To Help You Get Organized. Struggling with getting organized can affect every area of your life. If you have a day off when you intend to get lots done but find the day is over before you accomplish anything, here are some ideas to help: 1. Get up at your usual time or only an hour later. Do what you normally do-wash your face, eat breakfast, get dressed, etc. Keeping your normal routine will help you stay motivated rather than feeling too relaxed and allowing yourself to “piddle” the day away. Avoid thinking “I have all day” or “I can do it another day”. 2. Make a realistic list of what you hope to finish-start with the jobs that will take you the least amount of time first. Cross each item off as you finish. That way, at the end of the day, you can actually see your progress. Keep your list nearby and keep looking at it to stay focused on the tasks at hand. 3. Stay off social media-it is a time sucker! You can check it later in the day and/ or at lunch when you are taking a break. Even then, set a timer so you won’t end up taking two hours for lunch. Above all, don’t expect too much or too little. Believing you can do more than you can actually do in a day will overwhelm you and can lead to procrastinating. Planning too little can make you feel you have plenty of time to get it done and then you may not get anything done. If you need help getting organized in your home or business, contact Leave It To Laurie and I am glad to help! My website is under construction but you can send me a personal message now.
