I'm Your Constant

This morning as I awoke, I heard God say:


"The sun rising is a constant thing.  It is like clockwork everyday.  Just like I should be in your life.  Just like clockwork, I want you to spend time with Me.  Reading my word, praying, just talking to Me.  I want to fill you with My presence in order to give you what you need for the day.  I want to share in your happy times and lift you up in your sad moments.  I want to give you strength for your trials.  I want to reassure you that I am in control.  As the sun comes up each morning, think of it as a good morning kiss from Me; from your Heavenly Father.  That is My way of saying good morning to you."
  

I know how hard it is to get that much needed quiet time so you can study and read the word.  If you are like me, I try to fit it in multiple times throughout the day.  Some days though, I hate to admit, I don't make time for God like I know I should.  Life being too busy is not an excuse.  All I have to do is carve out X amount of time and then plan my day around that, right?  Something always happens though.  Something always comes up.  Something always distracts me.  This morning, God reminded me of His grace.  He reminded me that, He isn't upset with me for getting off track.  He is simply correcting me like my own father would have.  He is simply bringing something to my attention.  

 It is such an amazing thought to know that even though we may fall short or get off track, our God never does!  Our God is constant like the sun rising each morning.  He is there ready to fight our battles with us.  He is always in control even when we feel like He isn't.  If we only made it a priority to start each morning with Him, imagine how much better our day would be.  I'm not saying that if we start our day with Him, the day will go perfect and nothing bad would happen.  I'm saying when we start our day with God, the bad won't shake us.  God gives us what we need to get through whatever the day holds.  We would be equipped and ready for anything.

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 blessin...

Joy in the Face Of

Living with joy in the face of… I didn’t just wake up with joy one day.  I couldn’t feel it and I didn’t want it.  All I wanted was what my heart wanted and that’s all I could see.  The truth is, living with joy in the face of seems almost impossible, right; at least when you’re in the thick of it.  That is what I thought when this parental alienation started.  When I went from being able to speak to my children and hold them in my arms to nothing, I thought this was what would break me and snuff out my light.   But here I am, twenty-one months later, and I’m living with joy in the face of.  What I didn’t know in the beginning of it all was that the pain I felt combined with the joy I would soon allow to consume me, would work together in a way that even I can’t fathom just yet.  The two, would catapult my faith to a place it needed to go in order to see a perspective I couldn’t yet see.   The pain and joy working together trans...

Reflection—I’ve been on a journey through it lately.  Of moments gone, of things I wish I would have; of wondering how despite the… Reflection always teaches me something about life.  It teaches me something I may have overlooked or maybe refused to acknowledge in the face of.  It helps me to see things in a way I need to in order to clearly see. Reflecting has a funny way of showing me what is when what I’m looking at is upside down and maybe a little blurry.  Almost always pointing back to the direction of my thinking in the face of, and what I can change for what’s to come.   I’m thankful for what a little reflection can do for me.  Taking the blurry parts and making them crystal clear.  God always shows up in moments I least expect—but in moments when He knows I’ll hear him the loudest.  It’s in the middle of all the blurry parts of life, I need a little perspective.  And today, it took the dead of winter and an ice storm to ...
