All That I Am

By on Jul 14, 2017 in Eternal Thoughts | 10 comments

Hello to all. I pray this finds you and yours well. I’ve been through the ringer these last two months, but my God is faithful to satisfy my every need. He always knows best. I wanted to start with a prayer I wrote while I wasn’t home. Lord, Thank You for all that You are. Thank You for loving me, just as I am. I know that You always hold me and in need or in plenty, I know You always care for me. Help me be content and learn patience. Walk beside me, Lord. Help me see through Your eyes. You are simply the best. Open up my eyes to see and understand things of You. Draw me close to You, Oh God. Help me know You better. Love You so much my Jesus. Yours, Becky Don’t let anyone fool you, it was very very hard being away from my husband and children. So many lonely nights and days where I was thirsty for any kind of hope that tomorrow would be different. I struggle...

Complete and Total Rest with Abba Daddy

When you think of REST, what do you think of? A lazy afternoon nap with your toddler? Waking up after a full night’s sleep, refreshed and ready to go? Coffee? (LOL) That nodding head in the back of your college class? The first definition of the word “rest” from Miriam-Webster is: repose, sleep; specifically: (and) a bodily state characterized by minimal functional and metabolic activities. So you might agree sleep can be a great kind of rest, but if not coupled with a disciplined life, good sleep alone is not enough. The kind of rest I want to hone in on here is completion, complete satisfaction with who I am and where I am going, and contentedness. Sometimes it’s nice to have a “Selah” moment, but in this day and age, and especially with video games, Pokemon GO, schedules, agendas… these brief moments of reflection get forgotten. We forget...

(How to) go to New Heights

By on Feb 22, 2017 in Eternal Thoughts | 0 comments

Hey there! Ever felt like a fish out of water in this topsy turvy, fast-paced old world? Have you ever wanted to just disappear in a flash and go experience new heights? Or maybe you are like me: from time to time I feel like literally NO one believes me unless they see the proof. It’s all I can do to keep my head above water as I try to hold my babies closer and trade my fiery words for reflection, so I can assure those who need to know, that I am ok. I know this all sounds a little scary and bold for my normal style of writing post to post. However I am learning so much from the Lord lately, that I had to share a little of what He is teaching me. I have to tell myself that “His ways are not my ways, nor are my thoughts, His thoughts.” After all, in the end, it is the Lord who directs a man’s steps. We know He knows what He’s doing… Always. He is...

Hope Amidst Chaos

We do indeed serve a Good Good Father! As many of my friends and closer family know, I was in and out of bigger hospitals in Melbourne and then Orlando from September through November 18 with very limited access to see my kids and husband among other things. The last place that really helped me was La Amistad. In hindsight, it was truly amazing program compared to the other two or three here in town, where because literally all the nurses, techs, therapists and doctors at La Amistad actually worked together(!) to not only “get” people well, but during the 4 week program teach each patient how to retrain the brain and “stay” well. Each person had to do extensive paperwork to be admitted since the program at La Amistad is “voluntary”. 99.99 percent of the time if you start the program you see in a week or less the improvement and get out in four weeks....

Refined by Fire

Hello my dear readers! I appreciate you understanding my absence as I was very sick for two and a half months. My medicine had to be straighten out. I can say during the time I was away, my faith was tested again and again. It’s been almost two months since then; it’s beautiful to look back and see how the Lord used me with all the people I came into contact with each day. He used my suffering and sorrow to bring me closer to His heart. The Lord never left me, He is my strong support and my steady hand. Don’t let my words fool you, it was VERY difficult being away from home so long in a hospital. I felt very alone, but Jesus was my Rock and strong fortress. I know that the Lord WAS with me and He helped me each day to make it to the end of the day. I wanted to share with you a prayer that I wrote shortly after arriving at a hospital in Orlando. I hope you enjoy it....

Believing is Seeing

My sons Michael and Mark are little pistols. They say what the want, respond how they want, and don’t have a care about what anyone thinks. They are easily soothed and appreciate the little things in life. Today Mark told me he wanted to go on a date with me and yesterday he said he wanted to marry me! HA! What if we become like little children? We wouldn’t question how things worked in our own lives. My 3 year olds just love seeing people and spending time with them. Like me, Daddy, or Gramma especially. What if we became more like that? Relationship is number one. Instead of being so cause and effect people, we could become people like Hannah from the Bible. She prayed for years to receive a son, all the while being mocked and scorned by her husband’s other wife. God gave her seven sons, one of whom became a great prophet of Him. What if we were like that? Mark is...
