Entwined

With one foot in front of the other, walking slowly down a path where the light and dark are entwined, I find myself on a journey into the unknown.  I find myself in a circumstance that leaves me uncertain of the future.  People have made plans and set snares for me;  hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to bring me down.  I press on though, through the dark because I know that the light will always find me.  The light will always shine down letting me see where to safely place my feet.

The sun will no longer provide my light by day, and the moon will not provide light by night.  The Lord is my permanent source of light (Isaiah 60:19-20) What was conspired in the dark, hidden from all to see, will always be made known.  The hidden snares and plans conspired in the darkness will not prosper; you will shoot down any attacks aimed for us.  What was meant to harm me, you will use to redeem me and restore all that was lost.  

Lord, I'm pressing on because I know you are walking beside me, guiding my footsteps around each snare set out for me.  I'm pressing on because I know that at the end of this path, you have something waiting for me.  A lesson learned, wisdom gained, a testimony to share with the lost and hurting.  Use me in the midst of my brokenness to help others navigate theirs, Lord.  To help them find your light so your love reaches deep down inside the cracks in their own broken hearts.   Without the cracks in my own heart, I wouldn't have been able to experience the magnitude of your love for me.  So, I freely give to the brokenhearted if it helps them to see just how much you love them.

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.
