Be Still

Ever feel lost?  Like you have no clue where to go or what's next?  I know I do from time to time.  It's a tough season when you are standing at the fork in the road unsure if you should go left, right or straight ahead.  We always want to choose the correct way and walk the path with the least resistance, right?

It doesn't always work that way though.  In those moments of indecision, why not stop and ask God for the answer?  He may show us the way rather quickly or He may take some time to show us the right way to take.  In the moments of waiting, the bible tells us to just be still.  Be still and listen for His still small voice.  Being still and waiting isn't always an easy thing to do.  We have become so accustomed to getting things in an instant that it makes us incredibly impatient when we have to wait.  God doesn't always work that way.  He shows us the things we need to know in His timing, not ours.  Sometimes, he is slower to answer to test our faith during the quiet moments.  

Our God is always right on time.  Sometimes, coming through with only moments to spare.  He always directs the footsteps of those who love Him and is always working behind the scenes in our lives.  I know that sitting at the fork in the road isn't easy.  But I also know that when you stand strong in your faith, the blessings of having an obedient heart far outweigh doing it alone and end up walking down the wrong road.  So next time you feel lost, take some time to pray and talk to God about which way to take.

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessings, I am a mom of two.  I am also thi

A Letter to my Boys

Cody and Owen, If I could give you any kind of advice it would be to just live.  Live your lives to the fullest.  Don't be afraid to go on new adventures.  Travel the world.  Don't be afraid to experience new things.  Meet new people.  Try new foods-at least once.  Do not ever be okay with the status quo.  Take risks.  Dream bigger.  When you are told no, don't let it defeat you.  Let it drive you.  Never lose that drive to become better men.  You only get one shot at this life, don't waste a single minute of it. Most importantly though, have a heart that loves God.  Put Him first above all else.  Live a life that honors Him.  He will watch over your coming and going. Because one day, you will leave home to forge your own way in this world.  At times, it will seem big and scary.  He will be your protector.  He will guide you along the paths you are to walk down.  Remember to be still and listen for His voice.  Consult Him on every decision.  No matter how big or

It’s hard to believe that this will be the second Christmas without my boys in it.  But even in their absence, they will still be here in memory and carried throughout the day in my heart.  Ever since this parental alienation journey began, it’s been my goal to still celebrate them and keep up with the traditions I’ve always done; even if they wouldn’t be here to see it.  Their stockings are hung, their picture with Santa has been placed on the top of the piano and their artwork from preschool have been displayed.  All in attempt to keep them alive and present with us all.   Boys, we may not be together, but I am always here.  I pray that your Christmas is filled with unspeakable joy and love as you move into the New Year.  I am praying big things over your lives and future, and I need you to know that you are loved, you are wanted and we will never give up on you.
