The Quest for the Perfect Tote Bag

I started a quest to find the perfect tote bag for when I go on weekend trips.  I have a nice suitcase that is good for long trips but I decided that I really didn't need to pack enough stuff for a week when I am only going on a trip for two days.  So I decided to go to the store and see what was out there.  I needed to go to Wal-mart anyway so I thought I would see what king of luggage and totes that they had, Wal-mart had nice suitcases that were the same size or larger than the one I had or they had open tote bags that you can buy in the purse aisle.  I am wanting a bag that has wheels, but is about the size of a duffell bag.  I then went to Ross and found a nize bag that had the features I was wanting, but I wanted to check a few more stores before buying something to see what options I had.  So the next day I went to a few more stores with the same results that Wal-Mart had, either the bags were too large or open without wheels.  So I head back to Ross to buy the bag that I liked originally and wouldn't you know it someone else had purchased it.  I did find the perfect scrapbooking tote that I would like to have, but I really didn't need a scrapbooking tote at that point in time.  So the quest continues to find the perfect size tote bag.  I am headed down to see my boyfriend this weekend so I will check at Target and see what type of luggage they have (the closest Target to me is two hours away).

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God.  "Trust in God and He will show the way."  Do we really understand what it means to trust God?  Can we truly comprehend this statement?   It's easy when things are going our way.  It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well.  However, do you still trust God when life is hard?  When everything seems to be going wrong in life?  Do you trust God through the hard stuff?   There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.  When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right.  The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night."   Think about the words to that song.  No matter what, God is still God.  He still has control over the outcome.  Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

God's timing

My kids love to watch Superbook, it's a cartoon about Bible stories.  Today the episode was about Lazarus and about God's timing.  This past weekend I heard a song on the radio and I can't remember the song, but one of the lines talks about how faith can move mountains and God can still perform miracles today.  I have been thinking about those two lines this week, how God can move mountains and still perform miracles today.  Do we have the faith to stand and believe this statement?  Then watching Superbook with my kiddos this morning, it was all about God's timing and that sometimes God has a better plan for us than what we can think or ask for. Have you ever felt when you were praying that you just didn't know how or when your prayers would be answered?  Sometimes, it doesn't feel like your answers are coming or that your prayers are going anywhere.  Did you know that God still hears each and every one of those prayers?  It just might not be His ...
