So you are at a park. The breeze tickels your ear as your kids run and feed the ducks. Your wife says something sweet that only you can hear as the clouds cover the sun. What a blessing to be with family and friends this Christmas season! What great memories made together as we run to the cross. What a blessing to have Him so near. Lately I’ve been clinging closer and closer to Him and let me tell you, it’s a beautiful thing. I’ve been praying for some major changes in our family! Only God directs but as He speaks to me and to Michael He will effectively lead us to the place He wants us. I hope this Christmas season you can remember WHOSE you are. Remember Who speaks to you and WHO is leading you. Our God is awesome and perfect in form and wisdom. He WILL help you find Him. So if you ask Him to teach you, He will show you how to listen to His voice!

Lately I’ve been dwelling in the Scripture. From the gospels to Genesis and Psalms to Paul’s writing and Revelation, I love it all! Each passage speaks of jubilation! I loved reading the last chapter of Luke this morning about the Resurrection and the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Isn’t it real? How would you like to live in Jerusalem during the days of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection! WOW! It would have been so great! Through it all God keeps reminding me of His promises to my heart. I look forward to continuing to raise my boys who are 7 and learning so much and growing like weeds! They eat more than me most meals! I’ve also been enjoying working out with friends, running and walking with them this week. We invited a neighbor to church yesterday! And she is a believer but she wants to keep coming with her daughter! We enjoying talking with them...

I’ve been enjoying listening to Disney’s newest song from the recent movie Aladdin Speechless. In the song the artist is saying how she won’t stay silent no matter what her story will be told. And the same is true with me! No matter what, I won’t stay silent. The good news must be told. Being a ray of sunshine to everyone I meet must be a priority. Lately I’ve been reading 1 Samuel right at the part where the Israelites made Saul their King, to the chagrin of Samuel who warned against it. I’ve also been reading in Revelation the last few chapters which is just a plain picture of heaven and how it’s going to be someday. I won’t cry and I won’t start to crumble. I won’t let them cut me down. You can’t keep me down, All I know is I won’t go speechless. I won’t be taken in by the tide and rolled out to crash...

Lately I’ve been dwelling on heaven. With the world careening around us as more and more people are headed straight to hell, I know that my God is faithful and can be counted on to do what He says. In the end, what He says goes. Every day that passes is one day closer to being with Him. I know I can always bank on that. So this subject really excites me because all will be made right again! Think of it: Righteousness will prevail! The last few chapters in Revelation (19-21) talks about a new Heaven and a new Earth. The old is gone, the new is here! Reader, this should be a comfort to you. That My Savior is coming back again is Oh so incredible. I am looking forward to seeing my grandparents and other family members again. It’s going to be way more amazing than anyone can imagine. Better than anything this life has to offer! Just think of it! Please be praying for our nation...

So what then? Should we go on sinning to receive grace in abundance? NO! I tell you, no! SO many today think they can get on God’s “good side” and please Him with little sacrifices. Don’t bargain with God. Just talk to Him! He is a person who is trustworthy and will never let you down. He just wants to hear from you. But I will trust in the Lord most high. You give me light when I am in the dark. You gave me life when I should have died over and over. You are simply my most favorite Friend. Your timing is impeccable and Your ways are wonderously perfect. I want to keep this really short today. I love my Jesus and He loves me. My restrictions this month are keeping me in check! Lots of tea, naps, in depth Bible reading and journaling… All are good things. It’s easy to forget that God has things just the way He wants them. In my desire for Him to make...

Hello all! It is good to be writing to you again. I feel like something is missing when I don’t write for many weeks. Lately I’ve been seeing God doing some really awesome things in MY life and in my family’s life as well. Unfortunately I’ve been experiencing an over-active thyroid and complications with my bipolar. My mind races and I start having a problem discerning what is appropriate to put online. I always try to provide you with G rated content here and on Facebook too, though I had one post that someone close to me had an issue with. My dreams are usually very exciting and sometimes I dream of heaven. My dreams are very intricate and always have meaning. Since God sends me pictures to my brain of how He sees things it’s cool to have dreams with meaning too. I know in my heart and mind that He speaks to me in many ways weather from nature, my...

Sometimes I don’t know where to begin. I see a fast paced world where no one has time for anyone else. Everyone has a look alike and puts all them selves into things that don’t have any eternal value. So many people want to get rich quick and they don’t want to count the cost. There is One who paid the ultimate price for our sin. He endured the cross, bearing it’s shame and made it possible for me to be called His Beloved One. This access is open to everyone and anyone. SO I am going to keep this post brief but I just want to challenge you to count the cost of following Jesus. Don’t be afraid to stand for Him. He is totally worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears and He will never disappoint you.

He is my very heartbeat and He will always answer the cry of my heart. He never sleeps and He shows me His realm of splendor where He lives in the clouds. Whether I’m on a bike ride with my family or trudging up 30 min of the tallest staircase or walking and talking with a beloved friend… God is there with me. All my life is in You. All my hope is in You. All my breaths and days are in Your hands. Protect me and my beloved ones from the evil one. He is puny since at the end of the day You always have my heart. You fight for me. And You love to give me good gifts. If the mountain is there? Could you lift it on your mighty shoulders and hurl it in the sea? Nothing is too hard for You. Previously I have desired more children of my own but it seems the only way we can have more is to foster or adopt. I don’t know what His will is on this. Would you readers pray for me and...
