The Least Likely

Lord, 


I come to you today with a humble heart wanting to uplift those who consider me their enemy.  You are a mighty God and I know first hand how you can change the hardest of hearts to love like you do.  I ask that you move in their lives today in a big way.  That you give them exactly what they need for what this day may throw at them.  Lord, I pray that if they are struggling with something, no matter how small that may be, that you comfort them in their time of need.  I ask that you love on them a little more than normal.  And that they will be able to put the distractions of the struggle aside in order to hear your whispers.  Lord, I ask that you shower them with blessings and that they are able to enjoy the moments they have with those they love most.  I pray that they know you are always there with them and that they can come to you with anything.  Lord, thank you for your love for us all and for showing me what it means to love like you.

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...

Do You Know Me?

I know you don't know me, but I know you.  I know every single detail of your life.  Every scraped knee, every tear shed; I know every single strand of hair on your head.  You see, I knew you before you were knit together in your mother's womb.  I know you feel a nudge; you have this longing for something more-something greater.  I know you are struggling.  I know you are about ready to give up.  Don't. Your family loves you, like I love you.  Just like they are my children, you are my child too. You see, I am your Heavenly Father, your creator; I'm your biggest fan.  I have been watching over you and your life.  I've placed people in your path to show you My love for you.  Your family are My hands and My feet.  Because I can't physically be there with you, I've put them in My place to show you My love.  They are praying for you.  They hurt with you.  They don't want you to be lost and struggling on your own an...

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...
