Afternoon Tea, on a Thursday??

I woke up this morning very early and started right to work, Make Bed, Feed Mia, Play with Mia, Make Reeds Lunch, Watch a little bit of news, eat breakfast very quickly, Put Mia down for a nap, Start the Laundry, and Then Clean the house…. Now it is 2:31 and it has been a very productive day. Mia is back down for her afternoon nap and only a few loads of laundry left. House is clean, car is clean, even the dog is happy. After all of this I thought to myself, I would love to sit down and have a hot glass of hot tea, light a candle and put on some low music, read a magazine and have a time out….. Then I thought oh wait I can’t, it is Thursday, I can’t relax, it is not allowed. Then it dawned on me, why not, when did I start thinking like this. I am one worn out Mommy who gives herself all day to her baby and home, why can’t I take a breather. This is my very long intro into my new life study. As many of you know I am a Christian and love God very much. I have had very sweet moments with God, allowing him to lead my life, even up to this very day. However, I am in a very new season in my life and I am asking God to teach me how to live in this season... Many women know the famous verse found in Proverbs about how to be a great Mom and wife, and how to lead your home as a woman. What I have decided to do is to study these verses very closely partnered with other topics like, being a great friend, wife and mother. I will be blogging my journey on what I discover. I am excited to jump and see what I find. However, to start this off, I just spend a few minutes thanking God for my day followed by a great peace and love to light my new wood wick, Anjou Pear Spice Candle, and make myself my hot tea, followed by a good magazine. I encourage anyone to join me on this journey, comment and give feedback….

    I'm very excited for this new journey you're on. It's in these times that the Lord will reveal Himself to you because you are making yourself available to Him. I'm learning a lot myself so we are both undergoing a lot of growth so keep me posted on your progress and I'll do the same.
