She is all big blue eyes, legs and elbows flying in the wind. I love her so much that it hurts. Her personality so closely mirrors my own that it makes it hard to get along all the time.But the love I have for her is far more fierce than the conflicts that come our way. At the end of the day, I lay with her in her bed and am swept away in the fragrance of her hair, and somehow this world seems just a little closer to heaven.

new…for Sidney
She’s got an innocent face, it never shows a trace of whats hidden behind blue eyes….her brokeness, her lonely crimes.
In her heart, she knows, she can’t go on this way, she won’t last another day
with out His love. And so she reaches out……
His love, his sweet ,sweet love, his touch, his arms to hold her
the truth that unfolds her.
She lays down at his feet, he never scolds her, finally she HEARS what he’s told her
how he makes her spirit new , every day her spirits new.
His love, his sweet ,sweet love
His touch, his arms holding, his truth is unfolding
And we sing….Let the broken be mended
let the darkness see the light
let the broken be mended
with the love of Jesus Christ….the love of Christ
Friends
We often pray for the things we are lacking. We complain on a regular basis about things that are utter nonsense. So…today, I want to say thanks for what IS NOT lacking. GOOD FRIENDS.
G-Godly
O-Obedient
O-OpenHearted
D-Dear
They did not have to come over at all, much less bring me a card for Thomas’ birthday. But you know what…I saw the KINGDOM in that. I am blessed, because my friends don’t just use words to tell me about Jesus, they use power, perserverance, kindness, and sometimes humor.
So go out and bless your friends today, the way mine have blessed me. Bring the Kingdom of God to them.
Birthday Boy !!
Happy Birthday Thomas !! I love you. I can’t believe what a boy you were when we met ,16 years ago !! My my how you have changed. Every year there is a new adventure with you. Every year makes you a better husband and daddy. I know I don’t say as much as I should….YOU ARE THE BEST. The Best….coffee maker, hurt taker, fall faker, karoake singer, song maker upper, story teller and dinner maker, too.
As a matter of fact, I don’t really know of anything that you are not good at….You are my everything. I am still amazed that God loves me so much that He turned all my ashes to beauty, and gave me you. I love you ! Happy Birthday…..Come home and get some gooey butter cake !
we are family….I got all my sisters with me
I went to a book study today, I know, weird for me. It was good. The Lord’s voice was louder than the enemy’s in my ear. He told me what we all had in common. We were there to know him more. We were there out of discontentment for what this world has to offer. We were there to feel loved and to give love. We were there to see what the other women were wearing !
Seriously, I vowed to ENGAGE in this study, to open myself up to these women and to the Lord’s leading. I will let you know how it goes.
On a different subject….I am dancing with the dance group at church. It is so far out of my comfort zone…..BUT, I had a revelation about it. It is my alabaster jar. I will pour it out on HIM, I am willing to spend it all. Because of the lack of skill, I have to work that much harder, it is the sacrifice of praise. So sorry dance team….I will do my best.
wrestle mania !!
I just have to say, I feel like I have been wrestling for the Lord’s blessing for a year now ! I would like to have some peace. There is no way that I am coming out of this battle with out a wound. As a matter of fact, I already have several.That being said, I will not give up or in. So….ring the bell, I’m ready.
unreasonable
I think its fair to say that Jesus did some unreasonable things during his ministry. He went against the grain. I might be called to do something unreasonable myself, and I am wondering about you…..How far would you go to find the truth ? Would you do something that everyone around you would call unreasonable, just because Jesus said so ? I am interested in hearing from you, I want to know the most unreasonable thing the Lord has ever asked you to do ,and most importantly…..did you do it ??
waiting
Contrary to popular belief…I do not have all the answers. About anything. Marriage ? No. Children? No. Friends? No. Cooking? No. Holy Spirit ? No. Church? No. Music? No.
What I do know is that if Jesus asked me to wait in the upper room for a promise from the father, I would do it. I am waiting now, waiting for promises that Jesus has spoken either to me or about me. I am waiting.
I will waste my life on you, sitting in the upper room
I am a flower waiting to bloom, blow on me Jesus
with the warm breathe of spring…I’m waiting,Im keeping
the promise in my heart, the place its been right from the start.
you give me fever !!
made you look ! Ha ha ! Seriously, my oldest son, Adam is at home with a fever today. I am always amazed at the way my heart breaks when one of the kids is sick. I am still surprised at the way my body aches when theirs does. It never stops. Previously on this blog, I was looking for a picture of the father…..but I think I found it in the heart of a mother.
I know God’s heart breaks when mine does, and I know he aches when I do…..my father speaks to me and touches me in ways that I can understand. The love of a child, the protection of a parent. Thanks God…..I got it.
Garden
If my heart is a garden for my lover(jesus) to come and rest in me…..How then does he find my garden today ? Peaceful, well-maintained, beautiful……if you ask me, I’d say “not so much” THANK GOD, he does not ask me. My lover sees the good, even when the enemy of good has been hard at work ,peeking over the hedge of my garden, like a nosy neighbor,pointing out the weeds.
Thank you Lord for the rain today….inside and out, my garden really needed it.
