Last week over at my new fav blog At the Well they had a Spring Give a Way all week long. They had different categories and different prizes. A bunch of prizes. To win one all you had to do was comment on what category was your favorite and why. Of course mine was Reflections of the Home because I am a new Stay at Home Mommy! My to do list on what I want to do to my house has grown alot longer in the past three weeks! And what is hilarious..is I still have laundry to do!!! That is my least favorite chore!!

Anyway on to the good news..I actually won something from thier give a ways! It is a planner. Some of you might not get as excited as I am over a planner but if you know me then you know I have to stay organized! I can’t handle chaotic things. So planners are a gift from God to me!! And I have been beating myself up thinking if I should take the huge step to and try to sell Pampered Chef products …so tonight at church I prayed and prayed and told God that I have no idea what he has planned for me. Obviously the preschool wasn’t in his grand scheme of things for my life and all I can say to that is THANK YOU JESUS!! That place was stressful and brought the worst out in me. So I asked God to really let me know that I can hand it all over…that he does love me enough to take care of me….that he won’t let my family suffer….it is very hard for me to let “go” and let someone else have control over my life. I have always been an independant person and hate asking for help for anything. I always feel like I need to do it on my own.

Ok ……so humor me and my ADD for a minute……because this is way off subject….but tonight Brother Jameson preached a great great great message to us. One of my favorites that I have ever heard. I never lost focus all the way through the sermon…and we all know with some preachers ..that can be rough. But tonight was awesome…he said when he got up to preach he had no clue who he was supposed to preach this to..but as soon as he was done…a woman ran straight to the front to sit on the alter so I guess it was for her…but I think alot of it was for me too. I got alot out of it. I am not the kind of person that runs up to the front of the chruch building….I just stay in my place and be quiet. But he made us realize that we matter. It doesn’t matter what you have, what you’ve done, who you are, what your reputation is, what people think of you…you matter…..to Jesus..and that…..is all that matters….really. He made us…we are his workmanship…and he takes great pride in us so that makes us special and it makes us matter. God has no qualms looking our enemy dead in the eye and sticking up for us…because that is how much we matter to him. Isn’t that great!? I loved it! He also said a little piece about how he was supposed to tell someone that whoever is worried about thier future, don’t know what’s going to happen…that God does…so pretty much just chill. He has it all mapped out.

So………….

to me..winning a planner…which the Pampered Chef told me I should get so I can record my shows and keep up with all my dates….kinda lets me know that this might be what I should be doing. If this works out for me..I could be home with Lyla and help make a little money for the household. Or just make a few extra shopping dollars…

OK……..so where was I even going with this post?????????  oh yea…the planner……so here is the planner:

The website is called Chaos Simplified …cute huh? and it is something like $28….crazy huh??

Moving on…another reason I am so excited is because I never win anything……….so THANK YOU AT THE WELL!!!!!
