I just cannot believe the job I have! It is incredible to me that I get to take my kids around to do different things together…to learn about them…discover more and more little things about them…to teach them, to help them…to learn from them….and to ENJOY them. I LOVE my job!!!! Some days are so […]
Loving Extravagantly
God is calling me to love extravagantly and tenaciously…no matter what. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to do this…it involves a lot of things that are so hard for my sinful heart to do…pretty much everything in 1 Corinthians 13. It is impossible to give this kind of love without Jesus, because this […]
An encouraging thought for the Army :-)
As I was reflecting the other night about our future in the Army and God’s calling to our hearts right now, I got really excited! The Lord showed me that we are all constrained by things. I might think the Army quenches the Holy Spirit at times, but GOD IS SO SOVEREIGN and SO MIGHTY. […]
Weaning…
As I read this verse below, I understood it in a different way this morning during my quiet time, “My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a […]
Valentine’s Day ideas
There are SO many aspects of God’s love to focus on…that I really didn’t know where to start this Valentine’s Day. I love that though! There isn’t any one way to display it or appreciate it! I love differences in expression and understanding and always love hearing how different people perceive things. It broadens my […]
Humility in Parenting
Tonight, as my son had a total meltdown over candy (he has a heart after his mama’s for sweet things!!!), and was totally OUT OF CONTROL…I was totally humbled. I was saying goodbye to my little AWANA friends as their parents were coming to pick them up…and low and behold, my little boy came in […]
Valentine’s Day :-)
This was probably the best Valentine’s Day I have had ever! I have learned to be so thankful for God’s gifts, no matter how they come and focus on showing God’s love to others instead of wondering what will come my way 🙂 God blessed my attitude and poured His love out to me yesterday through […]
Guarding Your Heart
“Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”- Proverbs 4:23 I read this recently on ‘a woman of God’s’ blog: “Guarding your heart means; your mind, your will, your emotions. It’s something from inside that shows through your attitudes and actions, including what is said, seen and done.” I liked this very much, […]
A triumphant day :-)
All last week, the Lord filled me up. It was so sweet to my soul. It was a long time coming….Today, the Lord tested me. By His grace, my thoughts were guarded, my focus on Him, and an unoffended heart emerged. I am so thankful. The Lord is hitting this over and over with me […]
Rejection
I think rejection is something that God calls His children to, some at times, others oftentimes, to understand HIM more. Christ came to suffer rejection from much of the world. Even from His very own oftentimes. But, THROUGH rejection, MUCH Salvation came. That is the unbelievable perfect grace of God. For me to suffer rejection […]
