Words for your weekend! (3)

I hope that your week has gone great for you. My week has been very busy once again so I haven’t had much time to think, never mind write a post! However, I have found something for this week’s “words for your weekend” post.

‘Diligence – a persistent and hard-working effort in doing something.’

                                        diligent 2

    ‘The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to keep pressing on even when things get tough. We are called to not let anything get in the way of our spiritual development.’

Philippians 2:13-13 “ Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”

Being a Christian is not easy. Jesus never said it would be. So, we need to continue to press on and keep our eyes focused heavenward even when things get tough. We must remember though, that it is God who works in us, for His good purpose. We just need to be willing to let Him use us.

     I hope that these words help to encourage you in your walk with Christ. I know they have encouraged me.

 

If ever I can pray for you, please let me know. You can email me at: candle _ andrea @hotmail.com – no spaces.

Have a great weekend!!

Andrea

‘Fun Days’ of Summer

   This week were supposed to get really nice weather again, so I probably wont post much. This past weekend we had ‘Fun Days’ in my town. There was all kinds of things to keep you busy. Friday evening was community slo-pitch, and a wiener roast after. Saturday was a free pancake breakfast, a slo-pitch tournament all day, bouncers for the kids, face painting, petting zoo, a flea market, a silent auction, evening entertainment, and so much more. It was a busy place to be! In the morning, we went as a family for breakfast and then my husband went to go help a friend of his, so it was just me and the kids. I took them to the ‘Fun Days’ for lunch and we stayed for a few hours. It was very hot, and they needed naps so we came home and relaxed for the rest of the day. Here are some pictures from our weekend: We ate a lot of freezies, and cotton candy, got our faces painted, and tried to find shade where ever we could! It was a really great day! I love summer festivals, ...

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...
