Unleash Your Power to Rise Above


I am not sure I like this topic, I am not sure I like having to rise above.  Why? Because I don't like the messy situation you have to be in to make the choice to take the High Road.  Do you?  

Let's face it.  Life is MESSY!  Everyday creates some situation, big or little, in which we have to forgive, forget, overcome, or just muddle through.  We are all in situations that require us to Rise Above.  

Recently I decided to quit my job.  I based this on many factors: what was best for my family, my home, and myself.  I had to pray for God's clarity and guidance.  I also had to have faith that what I heard him telling me was correct.  I searched the scriptures to find God's vision for family, on obedience to him and to my husband, and for peace.  I felt confident when I made my decision to put in my resignation and peaceful since then.

Rising Above requires the same diligence.  Sometimes just praying for the courage to take the high road or the road less traveled is all you have to do but sometimes you also need to search the scriptures to make sure that is the path God is leading you take.  You can not just trust your feelings or "instincts", you must listen to the Holy Spirit.

We all have struggles. We all have troubles.  We all suffer.  We all have the choice to Rise Above.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Welcome back again.....

  Well it's been a minute....lol I feel like my my yearly post is to say I am going to start blogging again, and then never do.   I hope this is the year that consistency is in my wheel house so to speak.  I have again changed career paths.  Not completely though.  I am now the School Librarian in one of local schools. I LOVE IT!  I am looking at utilizing all my degrees in some form or another this year: Teacher cert in Family and Consumer Sciences, Reading Teacher, Library Information Specialist, Psychology, and maybe even Cosmetology.  In know, I know.... it may sound like how? but really, I use all of them every single day,  and I have some ideas on how to use them to benefit more people than those in my inner circle.  I will share more as it develops.  So in my world nothing says back again like a currently post, so here goes: Currently reading: The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall All the hyp...
