I woke early this morning with Heather on my mind.  The trial she is going through today is so huge, but she is so inspiring in the way she is choosing to face it.  It is amazing how God gives us the help and grace to face the challenges of life just at those moments when we really need it.  My thoughts and prayers are with Heather and her family!

During my morning devotions, I found new resolve to make the most of the days and opportunities that God has placed before me--especially right here within my own home.  I don't always order my days in light of eternity and in light of just how short life really is.  I get easily caught up in the busyness and cares of life.  But we have a limited amount of time to have the most influence on our children's lives, and I want to always walk worthy of God's calling on my life--the most precious calling of being a wife and mother.  Please pray with me that God would lead me and give me wisdom for the tasks at hand, and that I won't be careless or lazy in following His leadings.  Thanks for listening!
