Intro to the family:

I

This story has several characters. Let me introduce them to you: First, there is the Awesome God, who has many other titles such as Heavenly Father, Savior and Redeemer, the Powerful Holy Spirit. Second, there is the Incredible Man who upon a day in September 2004 married a woman. Third, the Cherished Woman who bore the following offsprings (charactets 4-8) to the Incredible man. In the year 2005, the Adventurous Son was born. In the year 2007, the Courageous Son with the Radiant Explorer were born. In the year 2011, the Beautiful Joy was born. Together they are trying to live life as God intended. There are many bumps, bruises, and broken bones along the way. Come and see how the Cherished Woman will share her pilgrimage with her family. All while collecting various honorary degrees, masters and doctorates, with a focus in psychology, family medicine and communications. Specializing in ASD (Aspergers), ADHD, SPD, LD, SCD (social pragmatic communication disorder),  DCD (developmental coordinstion disorder / dyspraxia), generalized anxiety, Epilepsy (Absence, Focal, Complex Partial, Drop, Nocturnal Seizures), Febrile seizures, panic attacks, post concussion syndrome, convergenge disorder, migraines, chronic pain,  but most of all how God is Good. Through with, to him,and in HIM are all things.

I'm sure,
I'm not the only person who have thought of this before.  Do you, at times, think that maybe the things in your home come alive?  Moving around during the night.   Now for most people  they probably they probably all restore themselves, but in a house as busy as mine we never know what or who will get us out of bed.   As soon as our feet hit the ground the things just freezes in a disasterous, insurmountable way.  Making the house looks worst then the night before.  Does thishappen at your hone too?  Is the light of Christ coming in to shine in the house, showcasing what needs to change?

tables turned

           Today is a day when the tables are turned.   I am in need of encouragement from you!
        The nawing pain on the back of my head is so intense that I constantly have to remind myself that I am here for HIS purpose,
But today that is not enough.  I just want to pull up the covers, over my head, and just examine the weaves in the fabric.   Because : surely my life was meant to be greater than this; surely I wasn't meant to suffer with this disabilitating pain.

 Today perfection hunts me and hurts me Today the shame of past failure seeks to devastate my hope for a chance to live.   I think because I can't do all the things that I dream of then
I should do nothing.
 I realize the enemy is trying to confuse me.   He is trying to keep me from being the best that I can be in HIM my God: my refuge; my rock ; my fortress ; my salvation ;my Redeemer HE is my strength, therefore I will get up, take some Tylenol and try to rock this day in Him and not in me.

Start of a new season in my life and a new BLOG!

 This new blog, I pray will be a place to find encouragement, motivation, practical tips and have a good laugh at my expense. God is the Best in HIM and in HIm we are the best we can be.    

With that in my mind. I have some challenges for myself
Which I will post weekly.  At the present I am working on physical health and spiritual health.

I will be making this blog pretty soon.  Honestly, I love the name God gave me for this hence I wanted to secure the name on blogspot. =)

Physical Challenge for this week:
1) Drink 8 glasses of water a day
2) To bed and lights out by 10 pm
3) Cardio 15 minutes a day (Mom, Tues,)
20 minutes (Wed., Thurs., Fri.) 25 minutes Sat & Sun.

Spiritual Challenge for this week:
1) continue to learn 2 to 3 memory verse a week
2) go to daily mass x2 *
3) pray a rosary for my husband
4) intentionally focus on the spiritual work of mercy:
Feeding the hungry

* some of you may not be able to attend daily mass. Other ideas;
-listen to Christian radio wither 99.1 in Ottawa or my favorite "relevantradio.org on line,
-download some sermons, homilies, talks on a device (mp3, phone, ...) and listen to them on the go.
-listen to some praise and worship and be attentive to the words
-have some extra quiet prayer time.
