His love is beyond anything I can really grasp or comprehend. He sees beyond my selfish thoughts and judgmental attitudes. Beyond my easily irritated heart and quickly angered reactions.
Catching Glimmers of Love
To catch the glimmer in their eyes fills this mama-heart right up. As they play, and laugh, and sing and learn…as they twirl and dance and show me their best work. I catch the glimmer, and their smiles melt me.. And I close my eyes, and wish for the moments never to pass. How great […]
Ordinarily Extraordinary!
I am ordinary… I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend… An encourager, a cheerleader, a cleaner, a chauffeur, a writer, …and a dreamer among other things. I have little to credit to my name I have not written a book I have not spoken to thousands And hardly anyone knows my name I […]
Growing Takes Time
Growing takes time. It involves maturing and the gaining of wisdom and knowledge. And the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of the Lord. A complete reverence and awe of Him who is in Ultimate control of all things. Him who is Sovereign, who gives and takes away…who blesses and withholds blessings […]
Choose Joy
Joy, and her friend happiness, are so very different. Joy transcends circumstances and goes beyond the now… Happiness lives in the moment and comes and goes with its whims. Joy resides deep within, and originates from the core of who we are… Happiness resides in the circumstance, whatever it may be. Joy is from […]
Over the Top!
I’m still reeling and reveling in my experience this past weekend…a Women of Faith, over-the-top arena event, with thousands of women joined together in worship… To learn, and cry, and laugh, and be inspired together… To sit in the midst of so many who love our God, and to pursue together… The richness of His grace… The redemptive power of […]
A Broken Hallelujah
In Real Life… …I’m a mess at times, and much more broken than I seem. In real life I long to belong. I long to relate. I long to connect. I long to know and be known by another. In real life, with each life change and circumstance shift, I’m being stretched and challenged. And I am growing and […]
Satisfying Rest
Rest. I must admit, it’s a rare commodity for me these days. I am going a million gazillion miles a minute in this new vibrant, invigorated, and very full life of mine. So many hats…a wife, mom, teacher, friend, mentor, nurse, daughter… so many purposes and goals, and still only a finite number of minutes […]
Giving Thanks for the Day that WILL Come
I’m joining Lisa-Jo, over at her site today, to take five minutes and just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. The challenge is to write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing, with the prompt she gives. And today, her prompt: Older…. Go! Older with each passing day […]
New Life
New life. So innocent and full of limitless potential, and what a privilege I have, to witness it come forth each day I go to work. This new life-like wet cement awaiting impressions… An impending imprinting, that will determine a heart’s condition for a lifetime. And I have spent this day as the nurse, helping this […]
