Rapidamente Galatas 6-9 vino a mi mente. asi es  amigas no nos cansemos ni nos demos por vencidas ! estemos listaas para perdonar eimediatamente,  si es necesesario perdonar 70 veces siete hagamoslo.

Sharing !

“I’m done!”  Have you ever been there? It’s the kind of “done” that makes everything more frustrating.  The dishes pile up. The laundry calls your name—and your husband’s needs become an annoyance rather than a precious priority.

Anyone?  Can I get a witness?

Well this morning I am in the book of Galatians, chapter 6, verse 9. The reason why I decided to go back to this verse (we’ve gone over it a couple times before) is because I know how challenging the holidays can be for busy moms. There are so many things that weigh on us and so many things that we feel like we need to be doing. It seems like the holidays just ramp up stress for us.

If you feel “done” this New Year, you can find encouragement in God’s Word.
Galatians 6:9 says, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

I love Paul’s encouragement not to give up. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a really tough week: unexpected things have happened.................!!!!....!!!

One thing after another seemed to go “wrong.” Feelings of insecurity and failure invade my New Year’s resolutions before I have even finished my list!  All these things, I must confess, eventually led me to questioning my sanity.  Sanity is a must-have for every busy mom, right? I looked in the mirror and this tired, overwhelmed face stared back at me.
Christmas vacation is almost over. I’m a homeschool mom, so no school bus is coming to take these kids off my hands, no nanny, no babysitter, it’s all me… 24/7. Sometimes I want to give up. After all, I ask myself, “what mom in her right mind chooses to be locked up all day with little people with no hope of reprieve in sight?” Who would be nutty enough to do that?

Uhh…me.

Here’s why: I am trying to “plant with the harvest in mind” like every mom who is raising her kids to love and follow Jesus Christ.When I am wiping juice off the wall, cleaning rooms,picking up shoes ,toys and clothes from everywhere I need to remember the WHY of all of it. At the end of the day, mothers are not “just” training and teaching their children. Moms are  investing in the next generation of doctors, legislators, lawyers, policemen, bank tellers, construction workers, missionaries, pastors, and mothers who will, by God’s grace, invest their lives in their children.


Plant with a harvest in mind busy mom !

It’s important to me to teach my children about and keep them focused on the true meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate every year on December 25th.  It’s easy to get caught up in all the things to do surrounding the holiday – shopping, baking, decorating, parties – that it can potentially be just as easy to lose focus on why we are doing all of these things in the first place.  Christmas is a special time to rejoice in, and celebrate our Savior’s birth.

Christ needs to be our priority all the time, and especially at Christmas.  As a parent, I strive to keep my focus on Christ during the Christmas season and make it mostly about Him.  One way to help your child understand the true meaning of Christmas is by simply reading books to them about the birth of Jesus.  I can’t think of anything better than curling up by the light of the Christmas tree with your little ones (and big ones too) and reading a book about Christ just before bedtime.

Good morning busy mom,s !!!

Its freezing in here !!!   I hope you all doing wonderful  !!  I haven't posted anything in the past few days...one of the reasons other than time ) is because I don't know what happened to my blog.. every time I post something , it keeps on changing , and I don't have time to spend on  fixing it ;-) there's priority's here....  I am just gonna leave like that till next year ... so sorry about that !

What are your priority's ?

 Life is busy isn't it? It's easy to let day after day pass us by without prioritizing what we really want to teach our children. But if we don't teach our children about God, the world will. My husband and I have learned that teaching our children about God has to be a priority, and that requires planning and discipline on our parts.God deserves to be first place!

I won't be answer any email till next year !
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog ! readership and support  and for all your kind words, comments, messages and E-mails

Tomorrow will be Thanksgivings day , and I  want to wish all a happy thanksgiving !  There is no better time than this Thanksgiving holiday to reflect, give thanks and truly be grateful for the things we have…no matter how big…or how small. I hope you enjoy your time with friends and family.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING !

Good news !!!!


BREAKING NEWS: THE MEDIA DID NOT TELL YOU. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals - the second most influential bench in the land behind the Supreme Court - ruled 2-1 in favor of 'BUSINESS OWNERS' who are fighting the requirement that they provide their employees with birth control. On Friday it was 'STRUCK DOWN' that the birth control mandate in ObamaCare be legal. CONGRATULATIONS to HOBBY LOBBY, CHICK-FIL-A, and every other organization who continue to stand on your religious principles..GOD BLESS YOU. God and Jesus are watching.These business will flourish.

Don't forget to use the translator rigth here beside the post !!!

Amigas ! no se frusten si son criticadas en algun momento por algo. Yo he sido criticada  y algunas veces ofendida tambien ..  Ah ! pero cabe mecionar que aveces nos ofendemos por cualquier cosa y miramos moros con tranchetes donde no hay, pero cuando ha sido directa y clara la critica o la ofensa,  he aprendido con la ayuda del señor a  morir ami misma y aplicar Proverbios 5:15  a entender y aceptar la critica de una menera amable  .. ustedes diran como si fuera facil !  es verdad que no es facil !! pero si se puede , no en tus propias fuerzas ! pero si descansas en el Señor !  has tu parte y lo que puedes hacer y deja al señor lo que no puedes tu hacer.. ( con humildad y reconociendo tu persona tambien , por que recuerda que aunque nosotros creeremos ser siempre los ofendidos . El Señor lo sabe absolutamente todo)

se preguntaran que clase de criticas u  ofensas ; bueno hay criticas y ofensas directas e indirectas . las dos formas tendran el mismo efecto . pero tu puedes aplicar la formula  de Proverbios 5:15 para las dos . lo mas importante de esto es que estaras agradando al Señor primeramente y segundo podras crecer finalmente , espritualmente hablando. ( por que hay situaciones Cronicas ... les llamo yo !  que nos  tienen mochos !! otra vez !  espirutalmente hablando )


dejenme le doy doy un ejemplo : he sido criticada por poner a mi esposo en primer lugar y amis hijos en segundo . El otro dia recibi un correo Electronico de una mujer " cristiana " que estaba en total desacuerdo ,  por lo tanto no leeria nada mas que viniera de mi .y no fue la unica !   lo siento pero por supuesto eso no me quita el sueño  :-)  y no voy a cambiar mi posicion tampoco. y respeto sus opiniones,

otra : he sido criticada por mi caracter o forma de ser !  doy tantas gracias al Señor que el me ama tal como soy , que soy hermosa ante sus ojos y mucho mas que conoce mi corazon y mis pensamientos .
muchas personas me preguntan que si estoy enojada por que estoy seria o no hablo . ( la verdad que es que yo no me rio por cualquier cosa , pero respesto alos que si ) en mi casa por ejemplo mi esposo y mi hija son unos de ellos =-)
el señor no me dio ami la bonita expression ni la sonrisa el la cara que a otras personas si y no es queja ! estoy feliz y contenta como el me hizo.  El otro dia una mujer en la iglesia donde asistimos me preguntanba si yo estaba enojada con otra mujer de ahi mismo por que no me miraba  platicar con ella ni estar en el grupo que aveces se forman despues de los servicios .
le conteste para nada en lo absoluto ! yo no estoy enojada con absolutamente nadie.... simplemente que hay conversaciones que no son de mi incunvencia. y hay ciertas cosas que yo no considero sanas para mi salud y he tratado de ir eliminando poco a poco . solo se sonrio ! me dice eres muy seria no te vemos platicar con nadie ya : y sonriendo le conteste aah ! es que soy muy selectiva ahora con mis amistades pero a todos las  estimo  de la misma manera no tengo prefencia alguna con absolutamente nadie .  ( tu que lees mi blog no te estes preguntando quien seria por FAVOR....  )   lo puse solo como ejemplo .)

Tambien he sido criticada por mis conviciones  ! y claro mis conviciones no son las mismas que de otros ! cuando de conviccion se trata !! no ataquemos de regreso como sutilmente aveces solemos hacerlo recuerden que surtira el mismo efecto que si lo haces directamente ..  ahi pliquemos proverbios 5:15 y tal vez podemos contestar asi :  " si decidimos hacerlo hagamoslo para el Señor y si decidimos no hacerno tambien hagamoslo para el Señor ! por que no queremos ser de piedra de tropiezo para nadie"

 y solo recordemos que cada una de nosotras vamos a dar cuentas propias a Dios por lo que hallamos hecho, creido o hablado  " NOSOTROS ! no tu vecino, ni tu hermano ni tu pastor ni la esposa del pastor ni los diaconos ,amigos o famililiares Etc...aseguremosno de agradar a nuestro Dios de estar bien con EL que el dia se acerca .

~ que tengan un bendecido dia ,
The Busy mom of four.

Dia # 4 !!

 agradecida por el Sol de esta bonita mañana, por el aire , por mis pies sanos con los que pude caminar y hasta correr esta manana, por la bendicion de ser madre y por la oportunidad de poder educar amis hijos en casa .

~ Gracias al señor por las cosas que aveces no consideramos y que son tan importantes como lo es el aire que respiramos .

Psalm 34:11 says, "Come, O children, listen to me, and I will teach you the fear of the Lord."

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Psalm. 111:10)

This world esteems knowledge, doesn't it? But God tells us that knowledge without wisdom is for nothing.

move on !!


Es verdad que Dios es lo mas importante en el matrimonio .
pero despues que le has dado su lugar a El Primero.  No olvides cuidar y dar lugar atu
Esposo ( matrimonio ) tambien ..
Es muy importante !!!!

 Se muy cariñosa y atenta con tu Esposo ... No lo descuides !!
no se niegue el uno al otro.

Recuerden que satanas anda dia y noche como leon rugiente buscando a quien devorar y busca las areas que no estan cubiertas y protegidas para atacar..
hagamos cosas sencillas como salir a caminar solos un rato ...
Tomarnos de la mano.. digamosle alguna palabra de adulacion ..como ; que guapo estas aunque no sea asi :-) o que bien te queda esa corbata o ese pantalon .. o una caricia tal vez.. cosas sencillas que hacen mucho...

Yo lo hago y veo mucha diferencia. Yo no se ustedes pero cuando mi relacion con mi esposo esta bien .. todo lo demas esta mejor. Espiritual, hijos, amistades personal , moral Etc... Efesios 4:32

Hablaba hace unos dias con una mujer que he estado visitando ya por un par de semanas  con el proposito de darle el evangelio y ganar su alma para Cristo. hemos tenido algunas platicas sobre diferentes temas , pero esta semana me hacia una pregunta acerca del matrimonio  y esto fue algo que le comparti  y quiero compartirlo con ustedes y para algunas otras solo recordarles.

“El matrimonio no se trata primeramente de mí o de mi pareja. Obviamente el hombre y la mujer son una parte esencial, pero a la vez son secundarios. Dios es el personaje más importante en un matrimonio. El matrimonio es para nuestro bien, pero primero es para la gloria de Dios.”

cupons !!!

I have been so busy in the past few weeks and I haven't had a chance to do my coupons ...
doing coupons is a lot of work and takes a lot of time and my time is very valuable. ( I am a  busy mom ) but I decide to make time and do it ! to help my husband in something .
He really appreciates that .. not only That !! but he really enjoys going with me to the store and see me get a lot of stuff for just a few cents :-)
now!! I don't work my coupons during the day I do that every night when the kids are Already sleeping  or very early in the morning after my devotional when the kids are still on bed  which means at 6:30 in the morning.

 but since I haven't done it in  a couple weeks, hubby and the kiddos have begun to miss it so last night on our way back home they stopped at the store and grabbed me a  newspaper so I can start





again :-)

Hola ! Madres buenos dias !! Como estan  esta mañana ? ....estare grabando este fin de semana en la conferencia de enseñanza en casa , necesito de sus oraciones por favor :-) .

Casi estamos listos para empezar la escuela. Que tal ustedes ya empezaron o cuando empiezan ?

He tenido unos dias realmente agobiantes ..demasiado cansancio y dolor fisico  debe de ser la edad tal vez ( parte ..no se) pero gracias a mi padre celestial que ha cuidado de mi ! dandome un buen espiritu , paciencia y mente positiva ha guiando mis pensamientos , dolencias y preocupaciones hacia El. Realmente he podido descansar en El .

viene ami mente una conversacion reciente que tuve con una mujer acerca del cansancio y quisiera añadir esto .. aveces puede ser desgastante y preocupante por que criar hijos no es una tarea facil , pero todos estamos involucrados en esto somos una " Familia " cada uno hace su papel y nadie lo va ha hacer perfecto ..no nos frustemos

No desmayemos sigamos adelante que realmente vale la pena ! Mi familia ! tu familia !nuestras familias valen la pena ! Recuerden que estamos formando la proxima Generation
Descansemos hoy sabiendo que el que nos dio a nuestros hijos ha invertido tanto en ellos como tu . Y AUN MAS !

sharing !!

"Today I will be a woman who rejoices in the truth. I won't allow the lies of the enemy to speak louder than what God's Word says. Instead of replaying the cruel things others have said about me, I will weed through their words, determining what is true, and what is not. I'll work on changing the things I can, and rest in the truth that I am loved and cherished by my heavenly Father."

Sharing !!!

Good morning, moms!  Weary much?  If we are solely devoted to serving others (our families, our co-ops) then we will surely burn out.  However, if we purpose to be devoted to serving God first, and then serving others, we can serve in His strength and not grow weary—because He becomes our portion and our strength.  Serve the Lord first.

 "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26
