Don\'t worry, I\'m about to explain.\n\n<strong>TIME</strong>: Like many, many, many other moms out there, I struggle with time management. I tend to exhibit many ADD symptoms. For example today. I started working on our budget for the month, within 5 minutes I got distracted by a thank you card on my desk, decided that I HAD to start writing my Christmas thank you cards - RIGHT NOW. Then I got distracted by that little red light on my blackberry, flashing to tell me to check my e-mail, so I checked my e-mail (nothing but Barnes and noble telling me about another sale on DVD\'s that I\'m not interested in) Then I pop over to my google reader...read 10 blogs... call a friend to tell her about something I just read... responded to crying baby... change a diaper... grab a coffee and forget all about the first thing I was doing.\n\nMost of these distractions are avoidable. I\'ve got to set up some boundries in my day/life so that I can focus on the tasks that are important, what blesses my family the most.\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Here are my thoughts:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Wake up early - get up at 5:30 daily so that I can start my day right, worshipping, praying, reading the Bible and excersising</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Limit computer time - Commit to keeping the computer turned off until Caleb takes his nap. Giving the children my full attention in the mornings</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Cut down on junk e-mail - unsubscribing to most of the e-mails that I receive from stores will help me to not waste so much time (and money, after being seduced into buying another \"thing\" that I \"must have\") reading unimportant e-mails.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Prepare for my day the night before - One of my biggest \"time-eaters\" is when we are trying to get out the door. Every night I\'ll be sure that the diaperbag is packed, my purse and keys are by the door, the kids shoes and coats are where they should be. This should make running out the door a much easier chore.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Go to bed earlier - The more rested I am the less likely I will be to get distracted or feel too tired to move.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>MONEY</strong>: This one is always at the top of our list; <strong>GET OUT OF DEBT</strong>! Well this year we are going to perservere and do our very best to do this!</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Cash Envelope System </strong>- As taught by Dave Ramsey, each week I put the budgeted amount of money in an envelope for each catorgory: Spending, Groceries, Clothing, Gas, Date Night etc. I can see how it\'s helping me already.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>We\'re going to sell, sell, sell</strong> - Every and anything that we can find in our house that is unused or unnecessary will be sold on Craigslist.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>STOP SPENDING!</strong> - Most importantly we are going to gain some self control and learn to be content. (more on this specific point to come)</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Get Support</strong> - We are going to need accountibility and support so we can do this. I\'ve signed up at a forum <a href=\"http://www.livinglikenooneelse.com\" target=\"_blank\">Living Like No One Else</a>. They have a great forum where you can find support, ideas, encouragement and accountiblity that you need to meet your goal. We also might look into taking the Financial Peace University that our church is holding in a few week, although we have read the books and heard the teachings.</p>','2010 Goals - Part 1',0,'','inherit','open','open','','1102-revision','','','2010-01-10 23:34:51','2010-01-11 03:34:51','',1102,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1103',0,'revision','',0),(1120,1,'2010-01-14 12:45:54','2010-01-14 16:45:54','[caption id=\"\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"625\" caption=\"Image: Billy Alexander\"]<img src=\"http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv65/ANOTHERNEWSEASON/1245823_77068825.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"625\" />[/caption]\r\n\r\nYes, I make resolutions...

Don\'t worry, I\'m about to explain.\n\n<strong>TIME</strong>: Like many, many, many other moms out there, I struggle with time management. I tend to exhibit many ADD symptoms. For example today. I started working on our budget for the month, within 5 minutes I got distracted by a thank you card on my desk, decided that I HAD to start writing my Christmas thank you cards - RIGHT NOW. Then I got distracted by that little red light on my blackberry, flashing to tell me to check my e-mail, so I checked my e-mail (nothing but Barnes and noble telling me about another sale on DVD\'s that I\'m not interested in) Then I pop over to my google reader...read 10 blogs... call a friend to tell her about something I just read... responded to crying baby... change a diaper... grab a coffee and forget all about the first thing I was doing.\n\nMost of these distractions are avoidable. I\'ve got to set up some boundries in my day/life so that I can focus on the tasks that are important, what blesses my family the most.\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Here are my thoughts:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Wake up early</strong> - get up at 5:30 daily so that I can start my day right, worshiping, praying, reading the Bible and exercising</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Limit computer time</strong> - Commit to keeping the computer turned off until Caleb takes his nap. Giving the children my full attention in the mornings</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Cut down on junk e-mail</strong> - unsubscribing to most of the e-mails that I receive from stores will help me to not waste so much time (and money, after being seduced into buying another \"thing\" that I \"must have\") reading unimportant e-mails.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Prepare for my day the night before</strong> - One of my biggest \"time-eaters\" is when we are trying to get out the door.

But this is a personal goal for myself this year. I have lots of hobbies, I enjoy to do so many things, and until this year I always struggled to make time for these hobbies. After this Christmas passed  a friend of mine made a comment to me that really made me re-think how right it was for me to feel guilty spending time doing things that I enjoy, especially doing things that blessed others. I love to entertain and love to do all kinds of crafts. I also have a lovely guitar collecting dust in our room. I believe that God gives each of us gifts, talents that we can choose to use for His Glory and to bless others. Many times I\'ve struggled to justify taking the time to do these things, when deep down I know that it\'s ok.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Play my guitar</strong> - I haven\'t practiced playing the guitar since about my 5th month being pregnant with Claire - when I could no longer hold the guitar because of my giant belly. I know that the kids would love to dance around while I practiced playing and I also know that it would bless our Small Group if I could again lead worship when we get together.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Find regular time to sew</strong>: I have a long list of projects that I\'d love to work on, especially for this summer. Some outfits for Claire, curtains for our sun room and other projects. These are things that could bless my family and I should make the time for them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Entertain, less but more: </strong>Confusing, I know. What I mean is that I want to choose to have less extravagant LARGE parties this year. But at the same time continue to have simple/intimate parties with friends and family. I\'m going with the \"Quality over Quantity\" idea here. What I love about entertaining is spending time with loved ones\'. Yes, yes I LOVE all the planning and preparing, the cooking, baking and crafts... but when it comes down to it, I love my friends, I love to spend time with them and bless them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"></p>\r\nWhat areas of your life do you struggle to keep balanced, is there something that you know you need to be a better steward of','2010 Goals - Part 2 - Being a Better Steward',0,'','inherit','open','open','','1107-revision-4','','','2010-01-14 00:37:37','2010-01-14 04:37:37','',1107,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1112',0,'revision','',0),(1116,1,'2010-01-14 09:57:10','2010-01-14 13:57:10','','Winter Logo',0,'','inherit','open','open','','tree1-eps','','','2010-01-14 09:57:10','2010-01-14 13:57:10','',0,'http://anothernewseason.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Winter-Logo-final_edited-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1114,1,'2010-01-14 01:53:35','2010-01-14 05:53:35','[caption id=\"\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\" caption=\"Image: Stephen Stacey\"]<img src=\"http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv65/ANOTHERNEWSEASON/875412_33013020.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"434\" />[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>There are 3 areas that I feel I need to be a better steward in: Time, Finances and Talents</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>TIME</strong>: This is a BIG one.

I don\'t think I\'m alone on this one; <strong>I struggle with time management.</strong> I tend to exhibit many A.D.D symptoms. For example today. I started working on our budget for the month, within 5 minutes I got distracted by a thank you card on my desk, decided that I HAD to start writing my Christmas thank you cards - RIGHT NOW. Then I got <strong>distracted </strong>by that little red light on my blackberry, flashing to tell me to check my e-mail, so I checked my e-mail (it\'s just my friends Barnes and Noble telling me about another sale on DVD\'s that I\'m not interested in) Then I pop over to my Google reader...read 10 blog posts... call a friend to tell her about something I just read... respond to crying baby... change a dirty diaper... grab a coffee and <strong>forget all about the first thing I was doing.</strong></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Most of <strong>these distractions are avoidable</strong>. I\'ve got to set up some <strong>boundaries</strong> in my day/life so that I can focus on the tasks that are important, what blesses my family the most.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Here are a few of the steps that I\'m going to take to meet this goal:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Wake up early</strong> - get up at 5:30 daily so that I can start my day right, worshiping, praying, reading the Bible and exercising. I\'ve joined in the <a href=\"http://www.likeawarmcupofcoffee.com/home/?page_id=837\" target=\"_blank\">5:16 club</a> so I have some encouragement and accountability.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Limit computer time</strong> - Commit to keeping the computer turned off until Caleb takes his nap.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Cut down on junk e-mail</strong> - Unsubscribing to most of the e-mails that I receive from stores will help me to not waste so much time (and money, after being seduced into buying another \"thing\" that I \"must have\") reading e-mails that just are not that important.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Prepare for my day the night before</strong> - One of my biggest \"time-eaters\" is when we are trying to get out the door. Every night I\'ll be sure that the diaper bag is packed, my purse and keys are by the door, the kids shoes and coats are where they should be. This should make running out the door a much easier chore.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Go to bed earlier</strong> - The more rested I am the less likely I will be to get distracted or feel too tired to move. (of course I\'m writing this post at 11:50pm... I\'ve really got to work on going to bed earlier!!)</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>FINANCES</strong>: This one is always at the top of our list; <strong>GET OUT OF DEBT</strong>! Well this year we are going to persevere and do our very best to do this! We\'d love to be debt free and the only way to do that is by WORKING AT IT!</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>The Cash Envelope System </strong>- As taught by <a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/article/dave-ramseys-envelope-system/lifeandmoney_budgeting/\" target=\"_blank\">Dave Ramsey</a>, each week I put the budgeted amount of money in an envelope for each category: Spending, Groceries, Clothing, Gas, Date Night etc. I can see how it\'s helping me already.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>We\'re going to sell, sell, sell</strong> - Every and anything that we can find in our house that is unused or unnecessary will be sold on Craigslist.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>STOP SPENDING!</strong> - Most importantly we are going to gain some self control and learn to <strong>be content</strong>. (more on this specific point to come)</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Get Support</strong> - We are going to need accountability and support so we can do this. I\'ve signed up at a forum <a href=\"http://www.livinglikenooneelse.com\" target=\"_blank\">Living Like No One Else</a>. They have a great forum where you can find support, ideas, encouragement and accountability.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>TALENTS:</strong> I know this one sounds unusual. But this is a personal goal for myself this year. I\'ve often struggled not feeling guilty when I spend time doing thing that I enjoy. I tend to feel as though I should be doing something more beneficial for my family. What I never realized was that many of my hobbies are beneficial. Many of the the hobbies that I  enjoy bless my family as well as others.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I love to entertain and love to do all kinds of crafts. I also have a lovely guitar collecting dust in our room. I believe that God gives each of us gifts, talents that we can choose to use for His Glory and to bless others. Many times I\'ve struggled to justify taking the time to do these things, when deep down I know that it\'s ok.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Play my guitar</strong> - I haven\'t practiced playing the guitar since about my 5th month being pregnant with Claire - when I could no longer hold the guitar because of my giant belly. I know that the kids would love to dance around while I practiced playing and I also know that it would bless our Small Group if I could again lead worship when we get together.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Find regular time to sew</strong>: I have a long list of projects that I\'d love to work on, especially for this summer. Some outfits for Claire, curtains for our sun room and other projects. These are things that could bless my family and I should make the time for them.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Entertain, less but more: </strong>Confusing, I know. What I mean is that I want to choose to have less extravagant LARGE parties this year. But at the same time continue to have simple/intimate parties with friends and family. I\'m going with the \"Quality over Quantity\" idea here. What I love about entertaining is spending time with loved ones\'. Yes, yes I LOVE all the planning and preparing, the cooking, baking and crafts... but when it comes down to it, I love my friends, I love to spend time with them and bless them.</p>','2010 Goals - Part 2 - Better Stewardship',0,'','inherit','open','open','','1107-revision-8','','','2010-01-15 00:51:58','2010-01-15 04:51:58','',1107,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1125',0,'revision','',0),(1126,1,'2010-01-16 01:01:20','2010-01-16 05:01:20','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv65/ANOTHERNEWSEASON/6a00e552792fa288330120a7d5e7fe970b-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I\'m sure I\'m not alone here when I say that I feel a bit helpless to help those in Haiti.

It does for me.\n\nSo here are a few of my goals for this new year:\n\n1. <strong>Be a better steward...</strong>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Of my TIME</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Of our MONEY</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Of my TALENTS</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"></p>\n2. <strong>Simplify</strong>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Cutting back on clutter</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Trying to go paperless</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Slowing Down</p>\n3. <strong>Focus on Jesus</strong>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Have daily times of bible study &amp; worship</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Read through the bible this year!!</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Reading bible stories to the children</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Tomorrow I\'ll be sharing more about Becoming a Good Steward.</span></span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\n</span></span></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"></p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Do you make resolutions or set goals?

I don\'t think I\'m alone on this one; <strong>I struggle with time management.</strong> I tend to exhibit many A.D.D symptoms. For example today. I started working on our budget for the month, within 5 minutes I got distracted by a thank you card on my desk, decided that I HAD to start writing my Christmas thank you cards - RIGHT NOW. Then I got <strong>distracted </strong>by that little red light on my blackberry, flashing to tell me to check my e-mail, so I checked my e-mail (it\'s just my friends Barnes and Noble telling me about another sale on DVD\'s that I\'m not interested in) Then I pop over to my Google reader...read 10 blog posts... call a friend to tell her about something I just read... respond to crying baby... change a dirty diaper... grab a coffee and <strong>forget all about the first thing I was doing.</strong></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Most of <strong>these distractions are avoidable</strong>. I\'ve got to set up some <strong>boundaries</strong> in my day/life so that I can focus on the tasks that are important, what blesses my family the most.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Here are a few of the steps that I\'m going to take to meet this goal:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Wake up early</strong> - get up at 5:30 daily so that I can start my day right, worshiping, praying, reading the Bible and exercising. I\'ve joined in the <a href=\"http://www.likeawarmcupofcoffee.com/home/?page_id=837\" target=\"_blank\">5:16 club</a> so I have some encouragement and accountability.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Limit computer time</strong> - Commit to keeping the computer turned off until Caleb takes his nap.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Cut down on junk e-mail</strong> - Unsubscribing to most of the e-mails that I receive from stores will help me to not waste so much time (and money, after being seduced into buying another \"thing\" that I \"must have\") reading e-mails that just are not that important.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Prepare for my day the night before</strong> - One of my biggest \"time-eaters\" is when we are trying to get out the door. Every night I\'ll be sure that the diaper bag is packed, my purse and keys are by the door, the kids shoes and coats are where they should be. This should make running out the door a much easier chore.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Go to bed earlier</strong> - The more rested I am the less likely I will be to get distracted or feel too tired to move. (of course I\'m writing this post at 11:50pm... I\'ve really got to work on going to bed earlier!!)</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>FINANCES</strong>: This one is always at the top of our list; <strong>GET OUT OF DEBT</strong>! Well this year we are going to persevere and do our very best to do this! We\'d love to be debt free and the only way to do that is by WORKING AT IT!</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>The Cash Envelope System </strong>- As taught by <a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/article/dave-ramseys-envelope-system/lifeandmoney_budgeting/\" target=\"_blank\">Dave Ramsey</a>, each week I put the budgeted amount of money in an envelope for each category: Spending, Groceries, Clothing, Gas, Date Night etc. I can see how it\'s helping me already.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>We\'re going to sell, sell, sell</strong> - Every and anything that we can find in our house that is unused or unnecessary will be sold on Craigslist.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>STOP SPENDING!</strong> - Most importantly we are going to gain some self control and learn to <strong>be content</strong>. (more on this specific point to come)</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Get Support</strong> - We are going to need accountability and support so we can do this. I\'ve signed up at a forum <a href=\"http://www.livinglikenooneelse.com\" target=\"_blank\">Living Like No One Else</a>. They have a great forum where you can find support, ideas, encouragement and accountability.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>TALENTS:</strong> I know this one sounds unusual. But this is a personal goal for myself this year. I\'ve often struggled not feeling guilty when I spend time doing thing that I enjoy. I tend to feel as though I should be doing something more beneficial for my family. What I never realized was that many of my hobbies are beneficial. Many of the the hobbies that I  enjoy bless my family as well as others.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I love to entertain and love to do all kinds of crafts. I also have a lovely guitar collecting dust in our room. I believe that God gives each of us gifts, talents that we can choose to use for His Glory and to bless others. Many times I\'ve struggled to justify taking the time to do these things, when deep down I know that it\'s ok.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Play my guitar</strong> - I haven\'t practiced playing the guitar since about my 5th month being pregnant with Claire - when I could no longer hold the guitar because of my giant belly. I know that the kids would love to dance around while I practiced playing and I also know that it would bless our Small Group if I could again lead worship when we get together.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Find regular time to sew</strong>: I have a long list of projects that I\'d love to work on, especially for this summer. Some outfits for Claire, curtains for our sun room and other projects. These are things that could bless my family and I should make the time for them.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><strong>Entertain, less but more: </strong>Confusing, I know. What I mean is that I want to choose to have less extravagant LARGE parties this year. But at the same time continue to have simple/intimate parties with friends and family. I\'m going with the \"Quality over Quantity\" idea here. What I love about entertaining is spending time with loved ones\'. Yes, yes I LOVE all the planning and preparing, the cooking, baking and crafts... but when it comes down to it, I love my friends, I love to spend time with them and bless them.</p>','2010 Goals - Part 2 - Better Stewardship',0,'','inherit','open','open','','1107-autosave','','','2010-01-19 09:18:57','2010-01-19 13:18:57','',1107,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1154',0,'revision','',0),(1155,1,'2010-01-22 18:43:45','2010-01-22 22:43:45','I had big plans for this week.  I have 3 more posts that I\'m working on to follow up on my 2010 Goals.

I do everything online and even store recipes on the computer.\r\n\r\nYES, I could have ABSOLUTLY lived without the computer if I had to.

The simplicity that the Mac offers is what I\'m loving. It\'s great. I\'m still not sure how to get all the info off my old computer and honestly I\'m not sure that I need all that stuff. This is a great opportunity to start fresh. Less files = less clutter = less stress. I hope to continue my little series on my 2010 goals next week. I\'m heading to a womans retreat this weekend, and I\'m really looking forward to an entire weekend of worship, prayer and time with friends. I need to \"unplug\" and this is a great way to focus on what\'s really important!

I\'m still recovering. I have to say that this was the best woman\'s retreat I\'ve attended. The speaker, Anita Keagy, lead the workshop, or should I say <a href=\"http://www.joyshop.org/\" target=\"_blank\">JoyShop</a>. Anita has a powerful testimony and her story was a blessing to all of us.\r\n\r\nWhat is a JoyShop? (Taken from Anita\'s website\r\n<blockquote>JoyShop – (n) ‘joi-shap’: a place to build, to  fix, to take apart and start over.\r\n\r\nAll of us reach  points in our journey with God where we realize that we need to fix some  things in our life. Sometimes it’s as simple as learning new techniques  that will help us in building a relationship with God. Or maybe we have  believed some lies and we need to tear them down, and start building  our life on truth. Either way we can all use encouragement along the  way. When those who had attended a JoyShop were asked to describe it in  one word, they responded:\r\n\r\nSIMPLE, POWERFUL, MOTIVATIONAL, SPIRIT-FILLED</blockquote>\r\n<div>The focus during the workshop is to <strong>Seek Him First</strong> - first thing in the morning. Early. Morning. I remember hearing a slight groan come across the crowd when she began to encourage us to <strong>get up early</strong> and spend time reading and studying the Bible. I was in that crowd, I groaned, I was not feeling very excited. Even though getting up early and reading through the Bible this year is one of the <a href=\"http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1102\"><strong>BIG Goals that I have for 2010</strong></a>, I still dreaded it every morning.</div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div><strong>I was looking at the whole thing wrong</strong>.</div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div>As Anita shared her testimony, intimate details of her past and how God used those situations to speak to her and guide her in her life. I was floored... I had been looking at this whole \"quite time\" thing wrong.</div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div><strong>Here are some of the things that really hit home for me, and encouraged me:</strong></div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div>1. The Bible is filled with letters inspired and written for us.\r\n<br>\r\n2. God is trying to establish a connection with us, He want\'s us to know Him\r\n<br>\r\n3. Spending time with God should come first, not squeezed in as an afterthought. How would you feel if your friends just \"squeezed you in\" to their schedule?\r\n<br>\r\n4. We spend time building relationships with other through so many ways with other, face to face, on the phone, e-mails, text, facebook... what about our relationship with the Lord. Are we SEEKING HIM? Seriously, are we putting effort into this relationship?\r\n<br>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n<br>\r\nI am participating in the 21 day Challenge... you can read about it <a href=\"http://www.joyshop.org/page.aspx?id=169931\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>. I\'ll be reading one chapter of John every day for 21 days. My attitude has changed immensely. It\'s not \"I have to\" anymore. Reading and studying, seeking God is a opportunity.\r\n\r\nMy alarm clock is now my OPPORTUNITY clock. When it goes off I\'m reminded that I have an <em>opportunity</em> to learn more about my God.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p class=\"alert\">If you live in the Central PA area and would like Anita to speak at your church, woman\'s group, conference, please contact Anita at <a href=\"http://www.joyshop.org/\" target=\"_blank\">JoyShop.</a> You will be blessed - oh, and bring the tissues, she has one amazing testimony.</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Seeking God and JoyShop Ministries',0,'','publish','open','open','','seeking-god-101','','\nhttp://anothernewseason.com/?p=1102','2010-03-03 00:55:32','2010-03-03 04:55:32','',0,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1163',0,'post','',0),(1164,1,'2010-01-27 22:05:57','2010-01-28 02:05:57','Last weekend I spent 2 nights with a bunch of super fun and encouraging girls at a woman\'s retreat.

Valentines is a great excuse to dress up, shave those legs that have been hiding in jeans all winter, paint your toe nails and put on makeup. I think most husbands (ok, maybe just mine) would say that I don\'t take the time to get dolled up anymore. I just don\'t have the time. Usually I can mange to pull all the cheerios out of my hair just in time to give Kevin a kiss when he walks in the door.\r\n\r\n4. <strong>Feed the man</strong>. The way to a man\'s heart is through his stomach. This IS true. Steak is usually on the menu when I\'m planning a special dinner. He\'s a steak and potatoes guy. It makes him happy!\r\n\r\n5. <strong>Plan what HE likes</strong>. Selflessness is the biggest challenge in most marriages. We may want the chocolate, flowers, diamonds... what does he want? What would he love. A small gift? A delicious meal? A movie night? Or something else (refer to #2 for another idea).\r\n\r\n6. <strong>Reap the rewards</strong>.

Just because money is not freely flowing this year, that doesn\'t mean that I can\'t plan a romantic and fun date night for my sweetie.<br /></div><div><br />Here are just a few tips for planning a GREAT date night:<br /></div><div>1. Get a babysitter (overnight if possible) <br />2. Keep it simple... come on girls, we know what guys want on Valentines day, I\'m not afraid to say it... no... I am afraid to say it, I think my mother in law read this blog occasionally. You know what I\'m getting at. I\'m not saying that you can\'t plan a beautiful dinner, dress up and romance your hubby. Please do all those things if you want, I\'m sure he\'ll appreciate it. <br />3. Take time for yourself... Valentines is a great excuse to dress up, shave those legs that have been hiding in jeans all winter, paint your toe nails and put on makeup. I think most husbands (ok, maybe just mine) would say that I don\'t take the time to get dolled up anymore. I just don\'t have the time. Usually I can mange to pull all the cheerios out of my hair just in time to give Kevin a kiss when he walks in the door. <br />4. Feed the man. The way to a man\'s heart is through his stomach. This IS true. Steak is usually on the menu when I\'m planning a special dinner. He\'s a steak and potatoes guy. It makes him happy!<br />5. Plan what HE likes. Selflessness is the biggest challenge in most marriages. We want the chocolate, flowers, diamonds... what does he want? What would he love. A small gift? A delicious meal? A movie night? Or something else (refer to #2 for another idea). <br />6. Reap the rewards. When we bless our husbands usually those blessings come right back to us. There is a saying \"a happy wife is a happy life\" I think that works both ways. </div><div><br /></div><div><br />If you\'re not \"feeling\" the whole make your man dinner idea.

Sometimes it’s as simple as learning new techniques  that will help us in building a relationship with God. Or maybe we have  believed some lies and we need to tear them down, and start building  our life on truth. Either way we can all use encouragement along the  way. When those who had attended a JoyShop were asked to describe it in  one word, they responded:\n\nSIMPLE, POWERFUL, MOTIVATIONAL, SPIRIT-FILLED</blockquote>\n<div>The focus during the workshop is to Seek Him First - first thing in the morning.

Anita has a powerful testimony and her story was a blessing to all of us.\r\n\r\nWhat is a JoyShop? (Taken from Anita\'s website\r\n<blockquote>JoyShop – (n) ‘joi-shap’: a place to build, to  fix, to take apart and start over.\r\n\r\nAll of us reach  points in our journey with God where we realize that we need to fix some  things in our life. Sometimes it’s as simple as learning new techniques  that will help us in building a relationship with God. Or maybe we have  believed some lies and we need to tear them down, and start building  our life on truth. Either way we can all use encouragement along the  way. When those who had attended a JoyShop were asked to describe it in  one word, they responded:\r\n\r\nSIMPLE, POWERFUL, MOTIVATIONAL, SPIRIT-FILLED</blockquote>\r\n<div>The focus during the workshop is to <strong>Seek Him First</strong> - first thing in the morning.

I\'m still recovering. I have to say that this was the best woman\'s retreat I\'ve attended. The speaker, Anita Keagy, lead the workshop, or should I say <a href=\"http://www.joyshop.org/\" target=\"_blank\">JoyShop</a>. Anita has a powerful testimony and her story was a blessing to all of us.\r\n\r\nWhat is a JoyShop? (Taken from Anita\'s website\r\n<blockquote>JoyShop – (n) ‘joi-shap’: a place to build, to  fix, to take apart and start over.\r\n\r\nAll of us reach  points in our journey with God where we realize that we need to fix some  things in our life. Sometimes it’s as simple as learning new techniques  that will help us in building a relationship with God. Or maybe we have  believed some lies and we need to tear them down, and start building  our life on truth. Either way we can all use encouragement along the  way. When those who had attended a JoyShop were asked to describe it in  one word, they responded:\r\n\r\nSIMPLE, POWERFUL, MOTIVATIONAL, SPIRIT-FILLED</blockquote>\r\n<div>The focus during the workshop is to <strong>Seek Him First</strong> - first thing in the morning. Early. Morning. I remember hearing a slight groan come across the crowd when she began to encourage us to <strong>get up early</strong> and spend time reading and studying the Bible. I was in that crowd, I groaned, I was not feeling very excited. Even though getting up early and reading through the Bible this year is one of the <a href=\"http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1102\"><strong>BIG Goals that I have for 2010</strong></a>, I still dreaded it every morning.</div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div><strong>I was looking at the whole thing wrong</strong>.</div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div>As Anita shared her testimony, intimate details of her past and how God used those situations to speak to her and guide her in her life. I was floored... I had been looking at this whole \"quite time\" thing wrong.</div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div><strong>Here are some of the things that really hit home for me, and encouraged me:</strong></div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div>1. The Bible is filled with letters inspired and written for us.\r\n<br>\r\n2. God is trying to establish a connection with us, He want\'s us to know Him\r\n<br>\r\n3. Spending time with God should come first, not squeezed in as an afterthought. How would you feel if your friends just \"squeezed you in\" to their schedule?\r\n<br>\r\n4. We spend time building relationships with other through so many ways with other, face to face, on the phone, e-mails, text, facebook... what about our relationship with the Lord. Are we SEEKING HIM? Seriously, are we putting effort into this relationship?\r\n<br>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n<br>\r\nI am participating in the 21 day Challenge... you can read about it <a href=\"http://www.joyshop.org/page.aspx?id=169931\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.

Now it’s time to get serious  about building wealth.\nDave suggests investing 15% of your household income into Roth IRAs and  pre-tax   retirement plans. Don’t invest more than that because the extra money  will help   you complete the next two steps: college savings and paying off your  home   early.\n\nWhy shouldn’t you invest less than 15%? <strong> </strong>Some people  choose to invest a small   amount, if anything, because they want to get a child through school or  pay off   the home in a hurry. But the kids’ degrees won’t feed you at retirement,  and if   you throw all your money into your mortgage at this point, you’ll end up  having   to sell the house and buy the book <em>72 Ways to Prepare Alpo and Love  It</em>.

It’s time to break the cycle of debt! <a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-step-1/\">Learn more at Dave Ramsey.com</a>\n\n</div>\n</div>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Baby Step 2</strong></span></span>\n<a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-step-2/\">\n<h3>Pay off all debt using the Debt Snowball</h3>\n</a>\nThe point of the debt snowball  is simply this: You need some quick wins in order to stay pumped up  about getting out of debt!

But don’t start throwing all your “extra” money into  investments quite yet. It’s time to build your full emergency fund.\n\nAsk yourself, “What would it take for me to live for three to six months if I lost my  income?” Your answer to that question is how much you should save. <a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-step-3/\">Learn more at Dave Ramsey.com</a>\n\n</div>\n</div>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Baby Step 4</strong></span></span>\n<a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-step-4/\">\n<h3>Invest 15% of household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement</h3>\n</a>When you reach this step, you’ll have no payments—except the  house—and a fully funded emergency fund. Now it’s time to get serious  about building wealth.\nDave suggests investing 15% of your household income into Roth IRAs and  pre-tax   retirement plans. Don’t invest more than that because the extra money  will help   you complete the next two steps: college savings and paying off your  home   early.\n\nWhy shouldn’t you invest less than 15%? <strong> </strong>Some people  choose to invest a small   amount, if anything, because they want to get a child through school or  pay off   the home in a hurry. But the kids’ degrees won’t feed you at retirement,  and if   you throw all your money into your mortgage at this point, you’ll end up  having   to sell the house and buy the book <em>72 Ways to Prepare Alpo and Love  It</em>.

Leave an  inheritance for future generations, and bless others now with your  excess. It\'s really the only way to live!\nGolda Meir says, “You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.” Vow  to never hold your money so tightly that you never give any away.  Hoarding money is not the way to wealth. Save for yourself, save for  your family’s future, and be gracious enough to bless others. You can do  all three at the same time. <a href=\"http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-step-7/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more at Dave Ramsey.com</a></blockquote>','Digging out of Debt',0,'','inherit','open','open','','1204-revision','','','2010-02-08 16:12:06','2010-02-08 20:12:06','',1204,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1205',0,'revision','',0),(1206,1,'2009-07-05 17:28:43','2009-07-05 21:28:43','<a href=\"http://orgjunkie.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n75/Orgjunkie/orgjunkiesmall.jpg\" alt=\"Home Organization\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://simplemom.net/\"><img src=\"http://simplemom.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/button.jpg\" alt=\"simple mom\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/\"><img src=\"http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee349/GDest07/Nesting%20Place/IDHTBPTBB.gif\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.likeawarmcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/\"><img src=\"http://simplyvintagegirl.com/images/likeawarmcupofcoffeebutton.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Like a Warm Cup of Coffee\" /></a>\r\n<h1><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Couponing /Frugal Living:</span></h1>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.moneysavingmom.com/\"><img src=\"http://www.moneysavingmom.com/MSMButton.gif\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n<h1><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Cooking/Baking:</span></h1>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.thepioneerwoman.com\">www.thepioneerwoman.com</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/\">http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://bakerella.blogspot.com/\">http://bakerella.blogspot.com/</a>\r\n\r\nhttp://bakeat350.blogspot.com\r\n<h1><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Crafting:</span></h1>\r\n<a href=\"http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/\">http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/</a>\r\n<h1><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Home Decorating:</span></h1>\r\n<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><a href=\"http://www.theinspiredroom.net\">www.theinspiredroom.net</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><a href=\"http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/\">http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><a href=\"http://moderncountry.blogspot.com/\">http://moderncountry.blogspot.com/</a></span>\r\n<h1><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Inspirational:</span></h1>\r\n<span style=\"color:#008080;\"><a href=\"http://www.internetcafedevotions.com/\">http://www.internetcafedevotions.com/</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color:#008080;\"><a href=\"http://likeawarmcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/\">http://likeawarmcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/</a></span>\r\n<h1><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Mommy stuff:</span></h1>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.momoflittles.com\">www.momoflittles.com</a>\r\n<ul id=\"treeutreeRoot\" class=\"treeList rootList\">\r\n	<li id=\"treelsub_80745072_14789448\" class=\"sub dragHandle\" style=\"background-image: url(/icon/14789448);

So I edited the grocery list to remove the items for those recipes.\r\n\r\n** I wanted to add that all the recipes, shopping lists and instructions are intended for 2 people to do together, I did not adjust the recipes, which I would highly recommend if you are doing this alone. If I do this alone again I will change the recipes (split them all in 1/2) so that it\'s not quite so much work/food.\r\n<p style=\"clear: both;\"><strong>Shopping</strong></p>\r\nI looked over the shopping list and checked my kitchen to see what I had on hand. I then compared my shopping list with the grocery store ads and coupons. Our local Giant Store had chuck roast and chicken buy one get one free. The ground beef was 1.99 a pound (I\'m sure I could have done much better on the meat prices if I had more time to shop around. I made sure I purchased most of my supplies in bulk, I even stuck with generic products as much as possible to keep the cost down. My total for everything I needed was around $180.00. Not bad for 42 meals. That made <strong>each meal cost around $4.30! </strong>** remember that I did have some of the supplies on hand (ie. milk, flours, butter, spices etc) also this amount could have (and should have) been split between 2 people.\r\n<p style=\"clear: both;\"><strong>Preparation: </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"clear: both;\"><em>I really think preparation is key to having a successful cooking day. </em></p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"clear: both;\">\r\n	<li>Pre-cook all of your meats and chop up all of your vegetables</li>\r\n	<li>Clean the kitchen, clearing off all surfaces.</li>\r\n	<li>Check all of your supplies. Make sure you have enough Crockpots (borrow some from a friend like I did, Thanks <a href=\"http://www.simplyrebekah.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">Rebekah</a>!) , pots, pans, ziplock bags, and freezer containers.</li>\r\n	<li>Plan ahead for where you will store all of your food once it is cooked. Coolers with ice are a great way to cool down your meals before you put them in the freezer if you don\'t have enough space in your fridge. Another idea is to use coolers to store the food you have in your refrigerator so you can use your fridge for cooling meals. Thankfully it was freezing outside yesterday so I was comfortable using our porch to keep meals cold.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<em> </em>\r\n<p style=\"clear: both;\">Tomorrow I\'ll be posting about cooking day. I\'d love to try to answer any questions you might have, just leave me a comment!\r\nJust remember I\'ve only done this one time but I sure did learn a lot in one day.</p>','Once-A-Month-Cooking - Getting Started',0,'','inherit','open','open','','1230-revision-3','','','2010-02-18 11:01:21','2010-02-18 15:01:21','',1230,'http://anothernewseason.com/?p=1233',0,'revision','',0),
