I am seeing God’s love for me primarily through my sweet husband right now. As I am collecting his letters to me over a period of about 3 1/2 years of separation (during our engagement and marriage), I am reminded over and over what an incredible gift he has been to me from the Lord. And […]
A beautiful answer to a little heart’s prayer
My little ones have been quite sick the past week and a half or so. My daughter was sick the first week and my son started throwing up the night before our ball and is continuing to have a tough time. My husband and I knew that the ball and race wouldn’t work out for […]
Teaching/Words
Another verse I found on the subject of teaching: “Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” –James 3:1 One of the main things involved in teaching is words, and here is the reality about the tongue and the danger […]
A faith unswerving
One of my favorite people, Mother Theresa, according to a book written about her- “Come Be My Light,” lived in darkness to lead those in darkness into light. I have always been drawn to Mother Theresa–her work, her calling, her heart for Jesus. God is showing me more and more to be faithful despite my […]
Holy Spirit’s Return
Some days I feel as though I don’t feel the Spirit’s guidance as much…and it always makes me sad. I wonder why. I wonder where He’s hiding 😉 I wonder when He’s coming back….I pray, pray, pray and repent and seek…I know that some days are just going to be like that. However, today I […]
Living by Faith
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” -Hebrews 10:23 “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done […]
My Little Communicator
It is hard for me to believe that Lewis has come to the point where I would label him a “little communicator!” But, I guess we all communicate–just in different ways. Most of Lewis’ short life so far, he has communicated through grunts, tantrums, tears, meltdowns, yelling, running away, or physical retaliation!!! Every way other than […]
The CALL to teach
Lately, the Lord has been counseling me a lot on the call of teaching. He’s showed me so much, in fact, it was all overwhelming to me and I had to write it down because it simply was too much to process (one of the reasons I love to write!), but it might be too much to […]
Timing
What a difficult concept to get down. It involves so much–seeking God’s will in each moment (prayer, reading His word), discernment, being succinct (weighing words carefully), putting the needs of others above my own, using words/actions for the benefit/uplifting of others. It is sooo hard! Sometimes, I convince myself that as long as what I am doing […]
Fear of Hypocrisy
The Lord is showing me how to raise my children each and every day. As He shows me what right looks like, I am FORCED to change. Sometimes, that change comes in overwhelming doses…so much to change…other days, a little at a time. BUT, I cannot stay the same…for fear of hypocrisy. Really, I WANT to […]
