Focus

Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

- Colossians 3:2

It doesn't get much clearer but it is HARD to live out when all my senses are flooded with things of the world.  

And when my focus is on my "to do" list, or getting organized for homeschool, it seems very daunting.

Pintrest and Facebook are full of articles and advice on how to be a better Mother, Wife, Human.  

I buy it WAY too often.

But when my focus is on the things above, everything else falls into place so beautifully.

So as fall is right around the corner, it's time to get focused on the One who renews me from within and strengthens me with his love.

My babies deserve a Mama whose heart is right. 

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

{Baby boy is just a dream. It's so not fair that he's almost ONE}

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

{We had a great aquarium day with our sweet Mimi}

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
