Carry Me

This song says everything I am feeling:
Carry Me to the Cross ~ Kutless

When the path is daunting
And every step exhausting
I'm not alone
I'm not alone, no, no
I feel you draw me closer
All these burdens on my shoulder
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
You pull me me from this place

Hellelujah
You carry me every day
You carry me all all the way
Hallelujah
You carry me to the
You carry me to the cross

How your love has moved me, yeah
To the foot of all your glory
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
I'm not alone

Hallelujah
You carry me every day
You carry me all all the way
Hallelujah
You carry me to the
You carry me to the cross

All of these cities you have built
And every cathedral you have filled
To all of creation you gave life with your hands
And with those hands you comfort me
You lift me up from my knees
And carry me
You carry me

Hallelujah
You carry me every day
You carry me all all the way
Hallelujah
You carry me to the
You carry me to the cross
The cross
You carry me to the
You carry me to the cross

JUGGLE IS A HIT!

So I have a book that has really helped me a great deal.  I would have to say it actually has changed a few things on how I do things daily and how to accomplish what I need to in a day and the week.  I don't share much on this site but I am homeschooling our 4 children, one of which is high functioning autistic.  Anyway this book has made my life so much more organized and has helped a lot.
  What is that book you ask?  Let me share it with you!  "JUGGLE (Manage Your Time, Change Your Life!)" by Deanna Shrodes. This book written for Kindle has helped me greatly the last few weeks.  It is now available to purchase just follow this link: Juggle
  I absolutely love this book!  I have read many time management books over the years that left me feeling like a failure and would never achieve my goals. Some time management books have been so long that I never finished them but not with this book.  Juggle reads so easily and has real life situations as examples.   I immediately started using the steps that Deanna has to help you with your time management.  It has helped me greatly in my daily and weekly plans and goals.  Whether you have long term goals or short term this book will help you set priorities and give you steps to reach those goals.  Being a busy home schooling mother of 4 active children, time management has felt beyond my reach. These easy steps that Deanna shares in her book have given me hope. What a Godsend to me!  Seriously, no matter what your goals are, how crazy your life is, "Juggle" can help! 
   Deanna is a gifted writer, speaker, Pastor and wonderful friend. If you want to learn more about her go here.  I found her via a dear friend of mine, Michele, and have been following her blog ever since.  I had the privilege of meeting Deanna a few years ago and since then have had a great friendship, although long distance, a very cherished one. Deanna is always looking out for others doing her best to encourage others.  Check it out I promise you won't be disappointed.

BY THE WAY it hit #3 in it's category on Amazon just hours after being released!  Seriously if you are a student, mom, working woman, woman in the ministry, ok just about anyone out there, this book will help you greatly!

Blessed

I've come to a point in my life where I realize just how blessed I am.  I may not have material wealth, I may not be in perfect health,  but I am blessed.  I have a loving husband that is devoted to me and his family.  I am blessed with 4 healthy, entertaining, smart and courageous kids. God has been good to me.  No matter what trials or storms have come my way, God has been by my side.  It may not have always seemed like it to me at the time but I can see He was there now looking back.  
  So you might want to know what has happened that I am sharing this....NOTHING!  In fact looking at our finances...they stink!  Living pay check to pay check with no cushion or savings (be honest here).  Sometimes wondering how we will put food on the table...yes it's that tough some times.  BUt no matter what God has been good to us!  I shall praise Him through this storm!  I am blessed!
