I say that i am going to pray but then i don”t and that is dishonestly god , and i do not want to do that i love god / jesus so very much. god is so wonderful and he truly is there for me. and do not know what i do with out him it would . I would be lost with out him. he truly has answered my prayers and ,and some of my unanswered prayers that he only knows why he did not answer them. he got a better plan for me i know he does thank u father for that it is so awesome to have your spirit in my heart and soul . i will be back soon

1. Domestic Diva
Not everyone feels very domestic when it comes to keeping our home in or, bur our infection verse reminds us that we don”t do everything . instead we take change of managing our home. How does this verse change your perspective of joyfully taking care of the home front ? Proverbs 31,27 She watches over the activities of her household.
Well in my house if i do not mange my home nothing will ever get done . my hubby does not help around that house so if i do not do it then no one will. I use to be so crazy about if any thing gets on the floor or the table tops or dishes not put in the dishwasher i would get so frustard but now I do not really care. I have notice that when i do that, my blood presure is down and i feel much better . I still at times feel that i am not really in the good in this and need help actully with my daughter. sorry my spelling.
2. TIN-POT PAMPERS.Let”s face it moms we either micromanage our kids or do everything for them we can”t help it, they”re so gosh darn cute! But not every one has kids. moms. what insights can you share with everyone from what you experiences and by reading this chapter? Is there a victory you share about how you”ve nutured your kids by letting go ?
well i know i do let her be her self at times and not control her every move . but i do see my self controlling her area”s where she has to clean her room my way and are”s like what she wears and other area”s also. i want to help all the time and i see that she really does not like that at all . i am really trying to let it go. she will be 7 years old in 10 days. so i know i really need to let go with me controlling her and let her be her self.
3.[ HAMPERING HOME] Chapter 6 . ok I was going to share a little picture of my home- but it”s beyond messy at the moment [6 week old baby takes precedence over that pile of books I”VE needed to sort and put away for 6 weeks} sometimes the dust bunnies just keep multiplying because there”s no one to sweep them away. How did you find chapter 6 helpful for taming your home by sharing the responsibitities ? Well i know in my home if i do not do anything nothing where ever get done hubby never helps me around that house . and i think that why i do more of the controlling of my daughter cause i have her help me with the house work with things that i know i should do my self. But I am seeing my self just letting the house work go and do it when i am really . i still seeing my self controlling my daughter in almost everything and am really seeing myself in chapter 5 and this chapter 6 also. this study is truly talking to me in so many ways.
4.PUT YOUR HANDS UP! It was only three short years ago that i got married to my best friend and just seven weeks ago that we welcomed our first child in to the world soooo- these two chapters seem to fit a much later time in my life. I know not everyone here has kids or is married. But we can still walk away from these chapters with some wisdom what is the one thing from these chapters you hope to hold on to for the future ?
I can hold on to the fact that i can be less controlling to my daughter and to show her how to do things in a reason able way and not telling her how it should go and be more understanding to her feelings and not my feelings and to show her love and surport and also when she is at the age to have her own child wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy down that road that i do not be controlling to my grand child.
I am just starting to read chapter 1 of Let. It.Go book and i sure can relate to this.
i feel that i am out of control with my daughter for sure. i tend to yell at her all the time . if i do not have that one thing that is right i am not a happy person. i am a fraid that if i do not stop that she will hate me as she gets older and want nothing to do with me. i do not know why i feel this way. i am so looking forward in this study so i can get in controe of my life and be more of a mom like i am suppose to be. i like when the lady said about the 2 girls that is sure is the way my daughter is at times. i will be back soon.
1. Whatever! share ways you can live out this week”s reflection verse.
whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men Colossians 3:23
I think I would live out this week reflection verse by letting God be in control and trust in the Lord with all your heart and soul.
2.WIRED. Chapter one . welcome control anonymous . Gather around and introduce yourselves.
I my name is Linda Somerton and i have a tendency to control i,m a people pleaser . But i truly think i am all of these
i hope to get out of this study is be more relaxed and go witrh the flow and to be able to talk to my daughter with out screaming at her for everything. it has to be my way i truly need to stop that before i get so out of control.
3. ooo! shiny! Chapter two
This World is full of shinny things for our attention. What are things in your life that have turned into controling tangents? Let help each other break just one.
The very most of mine would be facebook ,. I am on it all the time . But my only way to get in touch with my family as they are in Dubai [ overseas] and facebook is the only way to get a hold of each other . but i do also do games on facebook that i know i should try and reduce my time in doing but is so much fun and that how i relax. i know i need help and i know i could be spending much more time with God and his word. i know i should be putting god into my everyday routin in everything i do .
God help me to know that you come first in my life and that i need to spend more time with you and your word. AMEN.
