Quiet reminders

I've been very purposefully taking time to slow down, one of those ways has been taking some quiet mommy time. Every day Kar naps for 2 hrs and most the time I am cleaning, finishing up laundry, working out, showering-- just getting things done! So the past 2 weeks I have been reading and journaling a lot (something I quit doing after I had a baby...) I could not wait for my mommy time today, I knew I needed it today (anyone with a 4 yr old that some days are better than others! ;)

I sat down today with my stack of new books & had a moment to realize how much God has blessed me with. Sometimes I get so caught up in life that I forget to say Thank you! I am sitting in my comfy chair, fireplace going, hot tea, books & iPad (so glad I bought this for my husband :) God ever to quietly reminded me to sit & soak in His blessings

Thank you Father for the breath you have given me this day to bring you praise
I thank you for a life where nothing is wasted, a life where you turned pain into purpose
You will never put anything in my path that cannot bring you glory
No matter what the day holds, you have clothed me with strength & dignity.
I have divine strength to overcome any obstacle because I belong to Jesus.
Lord you are my security. No one & nothing can take that from me.
I choose to turn from fear because you are with me.
I can smile & laugh over the days to come because your plan is good.

This has been my prayer for the past week. I have struggled with fear & insecurities my entire life (as most women I know do) but I have decided that I will not continue to. I will become fearless & confident in and with this life I have been given.


I am a get to the point kind of girl. So here are my get to the point reminders!

Thankful today of the quiet reminders & the still small voice.
