WOTY: intention

This year I wrote a post on being intentional. I had no idea that I would really be embracing the word.

I really wanted to focus more on my relationships and time management.

I can so easily make friends, it's the keeping them around part I struggle with. I sometimes think that everyone that I become friends with has to be my BESTEST friend ever. But the don't and that I am learning is okay too.

I wanted to work on making sure my time is well spent. Playing and teaching Lilly, cleaning and tidying house, reading and loving books, studying and growing on God's Word.

Those kind of things.

But I'm also learning about being intentional with money.

We began taking Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University at a local church a few weeks ago.

Ummm...I STINKING love it!!!!

Ramsey is so funny and practical. The whole class is positive too.

It's empowering.

Where I once was lost when it came to 'our budget'. I know feel so successful.

Did Mention its only been a few weeks?

I am one to embrace change when it's coming and I feel like this is so important, especially handling what God has blessed us with.

I know that my mistakes with money (or the fact that I got a degree) aren't going to land me in heaven prison, but I can't help but think that I have earned a frown next to my name in the financial part of my like.

But there is always good news, there is grace.

I know God knows my heart and I am so excited to return what he has blessed us with.


I want to make a difference in his kingdom, maybe one day it will be financially ;) for someone.

Dave Ramsey mentioned that our finances should be witness to those who don't believe.

What would someone who doesn't believe in God think of how I manage money?


But I can't get to caught up in that, I must make a u-turn and press forward.

Keep us in your prayers!!

Have you taken Financial Peace University?
A financial class?

How did it go?

What I'm Loving: Organization Templates


Okay so I've been a bad blogger lately. Relying only on my book reviews and fitness posts. Byt my goal this week is to get back to blogging and share a bit more of my heart.

Until then.

This is what has been consuming my time.


Getting organized!!

I am definitely not an organizer by blood. I have to train myself.  The harder part of it is that I love the cute templates and can be very picky when it comes to finding the RIGHT planner.

I am hoping to make my own, but until then I found some of these sweet planners on pinterest.

WHERE did I say?! 

YES, PINTEREST.


I've been really trying to not buy planners and journals. Which is extremely difficult for me. And if you know me, you understand the true sacrifice this is. :)

This week we started the Financial Peace University class at a local church nearby. 

I am so STINKING excited about budgeting and getting organized.

That sounded really geeky...

But its so true. I have fully adjusted to housewife these days.

I enjoy the look of clean floors. Feel of fresh sheets, the smell of homemade goodness.


Any whoo.. 
Have you read anything by Dave Ramsey or taken his class?
