Wow!!! Georgia winter storm 2014 has been a wammy!!! My kids are terrorizing each other and you would think we are never home because they are slowly losing it trapped in the house..... And it hasn't even been 24 hours lol!! Logan is 2 and this is his first snow experience!! It was a huge success! I know many people around me are trapped or stuck and maybe haven't seen their family yet so instead of a beautiful blessing this snow is a horrible nightmare! We've had lots of home cookin going on, games, cleaning and loads of family fun! Logan was completely exhausted last night from playing, he couldn't stop looking out the front door! I can say my snow experience was complete by my husband tackling me in the snow!! Seriously?!? Yes! He did and then he made up for it by being an awesome fun dad with the boys! I hope your snow day has been as magical as mine! 

"Think" If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win, but think you can't, It's almost certain you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost, For out in the world we find  Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of the mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise. You've just got to be sure of yourself. Before you can win the prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can.                         -Author Unknown This poem speaks to me in such a real way as I'm sure it does most of you. As a woman it's so natural to compare and judge ourselfves to others around us but the very real truth is that God made each of us in His image so there is no room to be insecure.  Wake up everyday with a fresh inspiration and be confiden...

There is a scrIpture that we quote every service at Faith Tabernacle,  "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again."(Luke 6:38) We've had countless testimonies of Gods blessings as our church has continued giving even when they didn't have it. There is a basic understanding that if we give no matter if it's through our finances, time, talent etc that God will bless your efforts. I read the entire chapter of Luke 6 today and I realized we sacrifice so many blessings because of our behavior or how we choose to manage our time. "But love your enemies, and do them good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful. And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn...

"Thinking Happiness" Think of the things that make you happy, Not the things that make you sad; Think of the fine and true in mankind, Not its sordid side and bad; Think of the blessings that surround you, Not the ones that are denied; Think of the virtues of your friendships, Not the weak and faulty side; Think of the gains you've made in business, Not the losses you've incurred; Think of the good of you that's spoken,  Not some cruel, hostile word; Think of the days of health and pleasure, Not the days of woe and pain; Think of the days alive with sunshine, Not the dismal days of rain; Think of the hopes that lie before you,  Not the waste that lies behind; Think of the treasures you have gathered, Not the ones you've failed to find; Think of the service you may render, Not of serving self alone; Think of the happiness of others, And in this you'll find your own!                                 ...
