Life of Eucharisteo

I could have missed this. This morning I wake up before everyone else and start my day. (The Proverbs 31 woman is patting me on the back.) I could have made the choice to start laundry or write grocery lists. Instead I chose time alone with my Lord and His Word. In return I got peace for my day plus an added bonus. You see because I was sitting with God this morning, I had a lap to offer to my littlest when she woke up unexpectedly. Had I been up and busy I would have shooed her off to the couch or the breakfast table. Then I would have missed the blessing of rocking my sweet almost 4 year old girl back to sleep. Counting my gifts today. This one is at the top of my list. What's on your list today? Don't have a list? You should most definitely start one. Counting thanks leads to Him and He is the key to unending joy. Thankful for moments like these, Tracey <><

　 Last week I was floundering. I dedicated two posts to the acts of indecision and discontentment . I was spending far to much of my emotional energy on these feelings. Apparently God thought so too. My girls and I came to Pennsylvania this summer to be with our #1 man. Let me just say that the transition from South Alabama to PA was like going from Earth to Jupiter. ( I might be exaggerating...just a little )  Just when I was feeling a little like I’d moved out of my skin, God sent the most wonderfully wise woman to deliver a message to my heart.  The very moment I needed it most, I opened my inbox and read this…. 　 The words flew through my head as I read your post: "Be still and know that I am God". Sometimes that is our assignment: to just be still and be aware - nothing else. Your ministry is not in a pause phase just because you are not in your usual place doing the things you do so beautifully. Your ministry continues even while...

Disclaimer…. I am not turning this into a crafting blog. (wink) So now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you how God’s been working in my life this week. God tells us in His word …“ Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 Don’t you just love it when God let’s you see this verse come to life. I’ve been finding Him in the little things again this week. My bunch has been enjoying some much needed down time the last two weeks. We’ve been soaking up lots of family time and have been enjoying several days of doing absolutely nothing. Well, we all got the itch to “do something”. My girls love crafts. They get this love from their craft-loving-pinterest-pinning-but-never-actually-crafting mom. You see, I love to craft. I used to be a scrap booking queen! I guess I’ve just let it get moved to the back burner. Life happens and like I always say…you need to do one or two things and ...

　 In my reading yesterday, I came across a question. “Do you experience Jesus Christ in the daily activities of your life?” My mind immediately went to a conversation that I had just had with a friend. I was telling her how neat it was to see God work in the small stuff, and how He customizes His blessings to the individual person. You see the thing that blesses me may not bless you. I’ll give you “a day in the life of me” example and we can compare notes….. I woke up this particular day (reluctantly) with a huge sense of dread for the day that lay before me. I had too much to do and no time to do it. At the top of my list was a trip to Lowe’s (with a three year old) that was going to involve itemized lists, price comparison, hours of my time, and way to much use of my tired brain. For those of you that don’t know the story behind this , I am in the middle of building a house while living in our travel trailer (scratch that, my husband came home and got our tr...
