When I Sit at YOUR Feet

Image
Good morning all! Luke 10:38-42 New International Version (NIV) At the Home of Martha and Mary   38  As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.  39  She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.  40  But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”     41  “Martha, Martha,”  the Lord answered,  “you are worried and upset about many things,   42  but few things are needed—or indeed only one. [ a ]  Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” I did not get up when I should have this morning. My goal is to be up by 4:30 a.m. so that I have time to get a workout and quiet time in before my shower, hair/makeup routine and then get the kids up and ready and out the door by 6:45/7:00. So

I'm a mommy of 2 beautiful children: Aspen, my sweet and spicy 5 year old daughter and Hunter, my super cuddly and wild almost-2-year old son. These two keep me going day in and day out, so we pretty much do whatever it takes to give them the best that we can...and you all know how expensive "the best" can be. About 4 years ago I was working in childcare, in the nursery, and one of my babies' mom began telling me of a children's consignment event that she participates in. I lived in Conway, AR at the time and my Aspen was only 2 years old. Lisa, mom of 2, Meagan and Mason (the baby boy in my class), filled me in on all of the details. 2 Times per year: Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter Purchase, gently used children's clothes for great prices! Consign your gently used children 's clothes to make some extra money Volunteer to work during the event to earn early shopping passes Help market the event to earn early shopping passes Sales in a

SSMTC! Houston Bound!

Two days before I will be in Houston TX for the Siesta Scripture Memory Team Celebration (aka SSMTC)! I am SO EXCITED!  I will be accompanied by one of my best friends, Cara, and we will be road-tripping! We did this in December 2010 to a Living Proof Live Conference in Birmingham, and had a blast!  I'm sure this time will be just as much fun and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us on this trip! We plan to leave very early Friday morning and (hopefully) be in Houston to check in to our hotel by 3pm. The doors open at 6 pm, so we will enjoy about an hour at the hotel, getting ready, fixing our hair, etc. And then head to eat, and be back to the church around 5:15/5:30 to get in line! On Saturday the conference is from 8-12 and afterwards, we are grabbing lunch and then going to check out the Texas Art Asylum before hitting the road again to head home!  Whether it is lunch Saturday or dinner Friday, we plan to try Pappasito's ! We both love M
