Resting...
The boys are sitting by the campfire tonight. It's actually cool here. And tonight began college football. The best time of the year if you ask my husband. He could live from sept to dec every year over and over again and skip all the other months
So we girls (all two of us) decided to take a bath and use our special conditioner from Aunt Lyn. Baby girl thinks it smells wonderful!
So just as we climb in the bed baby girl lunges from the bed yelling over her shoulder, "Mom, I forgot something."
And back she skips with her Bible. "We forgot to read about Jesus mommy. Find a page with lots of words about Jesus on it, okay mommy?"
So I open her beautiful bible and begin reading in Acts. Jesus has died and Peter and John are getting in trouble for preaching and healing guys! Go Figure!
So as I read about the Holy Spirit and how they would rather die than not preach the gospel I watch my baby's eyes slowly flutter down. I kept reading long after she's asleep. Not for her but for me.
And Peace, Beautiful Peace once again rested over my heart. My very own daughter loves to read the bible, her bible at night. She longs to know about Jesus. She loves him already. She may be one of those who has loved him from birth. God told me she would do great things for him before she was even born.
Now as I watch her sweet heart shaped mouth open, her chest rise and fall, her hands held together as the thumb has just slipped from her mouth I am reminded of how often I need to climb in my Daddy's bed and listen to his songs and his words to me. How I yearn to feel safe and cared for.
With Princess Blankie tucked firmly under her chin she is safe.
Safe in her mommy's bed.
Safe in her daddy's home.
Safe from having listened to the Word.
Safe.
Loved.
Cared For.
"Oh Father may she always have such a tender heart for you. Your prophetess, your child. And may you always remind me you hold me just as tenderly in your hands." |

A new day...
Today I got up before the kids which has been different than my normal summer routine. I've caught up on a lot of sleep this summer. Since the surgery on my foot I've routinely slept until 9am or so. One day I actually slept until 11am. I haven't done that since I was a teenager. It was strange waking up when it was almost noon.
Today, as I awoke to foggy windows and a quiet house I walked into the kitchen to punch the coffee button. My husband has gotten into the routine of leaving me sweet sticky notes on my coffee cup each morning. It's been a wonderful way to know he's talking to me even tho he's already at work.
I'm reminded of the many seasons we go through in life. Some are quiet, some loud, some active, some sleepy, some hard, some easier.
And I'm so thankful that in the quietness is when I can feel the Father's love the most. I feel his "good morning" in the cup of coffee waiting for me, the sticky note my Rocket Man leaves, in the cat waiting to come in for a treat, in the fact that I live in a nice house, my husband has a job and that I have the privilege for praying for others who do not. And I am reminded of that in the way my Father takes care of me.
What season are you in? Is your life hard right now? I pray that you find the Father's arms wide open and his care for you constant. I still worry about money from time to time especially with all the doctor bills rolling in from three surgeries. And He knows it's an area where I struggle. So I'm constantly taking that to Him, laying it as His feet and asking him to take care of his arm, his foot and his bills.
After all, I am His girl. And we are His family.
He put us together.
He made us one.
He brought my children into the world.
He is the KING.
And I love reminding my children of who they are.....
Children of the King!!!
Go forward today as a Child of the King.

My baby girl
She isn't a baby anymore.
She's growing up. She fights with her brothers. She wants to wear her hair in a pony tail if I'm wearing a pony tail. She wants her sunglasses if I have mine. She broke her arm. I broke my foot. My mom and dad say she's the spitting image of me at that age.
She's opinionated. She knows what she wants.
She very much like me.
God gave us Danielle because Daniel was a prophet in the Bible. She is named after him.
While I was pregnant with My third born son God told me my daughter would sing for him. So I naturally thought I was carrying a girl. Silly me.
She came last. She is the 4th born in our family.
But she sings all the time and she loves Jesus. Her prayers will hush the loudest of rooms.
She's not a baby anymore but she's still my baby girl and I love her.

God is Good....
ALL THE TIME!
But today HE feels exceptionally Good.
For weeks we've prayed about Baby Girl's arm being healed, the pin taken out, and a waterproof cast on before we leave for the beach.
Today we found out her arm is healed, the pin is coming out AND she'll only have to wear a splint!!!
I love it when God lets me see his answer to my prayer the way I've prayed it and beyond!
For HE is far greater and can do far greater things than I can even imagine (or pray)!!!
