Mommy-hood blessing (Proverbs 31:28)

Scripture of the Day: Proverbs 31:28

 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her.

 This week my little man has been up in Wisconsin with grandparents. Although my house is clean (or at least more organized!) and I am caught up on lots of things...I miss that kiddo of mine! My house has been void of the sound of a child for five days now and how I miss that voice! He talks all day. He sings to the songs he knows. He laughs a laugh that cannot help but make me smile. He compliments me more than any person ever has - I think I have a words of affirmation speaker on my hands! 

 Don't get me wrong, he also drives me crazy sometimes! But because thankfully, it is the tough times we forget and the good times we remember, it is the cute things I am thinking about!

 So on this day, whether your children are young or old, near or far; and whether your relationship is a close one or there is room you don't necessarily like; it is a Mother's Day. Every day is! To all the mothers out there, I wish you a "Happy Mother's Day" of sorts! Today, take time and thank God for the blessing you have of filling the role of "mother." If you are loving your mommy-hood journey, thank God for that. If you are struggling, pray to your Heavenly Father for wisdom, guidance, and comfort. Regardless, pray for the ability to raise your child(ren) according to His plan for them. 

 On good days and bad, being a mother is a blessing. I encourage you every day to take some time and actually think about that blessing! Find a positive thing every day - even if the positive thing is that you made it through the day without physically harming anyone! 

 Remember; God gave you the children he did for a reason - you are the mom they need! Love and pray for them when they are young and close to you and love and pray for them when they leave the nest. Nurture them forever...your Heavenly Father still nurtures you!

I love you Lord (Psalm 100:2)

Scripture of the Day: Psalm 100:2  Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Starting last fall, my husband began singing the song "I Love you Lord," to our kiddo before he went to bed, as a lullaby of sorts. The lyrics are simple: I love you Lord, and I lift my voice to worship you, oh my soul rejoice! Take joy, my King, in what you hear, may it be a sweet, sweet, sound in your ear. It has since become a very popular song in our house! We sing it before nap time, bed time, and I hum it when sometimes when our little guy is upset or over tired. I love singing it slow and asking him to sing with me – at this point he knows most of the words and there is really nothing sweeter than hearing that little voice sing “I yuv you yord,”  (no “r’s” yet you see)! The song has also worked it's way into my personal worship of the Lord. The words are meant for Him to hear and I think he loves to hear them sung! I find that singing that j...

What is Your Lie?

By now, you should know I like songs. I like Christian songs because their words don't put any "yuck" in my head and I don't have to worry about what little ears are taking in when they are on! Some touch me deep and here are the lyrics to part of a new favorite: Reckless Love by Cory Asbury There's no shadow you won't light up, Mountain you won't climb up Coming after me... There's no wall you won't kick down, Lie you won't tear down, Coming after me... Friends. Focus on that last point: There's no lie God won't tear down. What is your lie? What lie, or even lies, do you believe about yourself? What lies run over and over in your head until they don't feel like lies anymore? What hurts have you told yourself you deserve? What unkindness have you accepted as your due? What actions have you justified for others? What fault have you accepted that really isn't yours? What forgiveness have you felt unworthy of? I'm...

From the mouth's of babes

I'm writing this more for prosperity's sake and because I need to try and wrap my head around a conversation I just had with my seven year old. Mandisa's song "Bleed the Same" was playing in the car...my kiddo asks me what she is actually saying because he hears "We all be the same." I explained how it meant that regardless of skin color, or lots of other things really, we all bleed the same. On the inside, we are all the same. And then the zinger. He says, "We all look the same inside. Except our hearts." "Oh really?" Says I. "Yes," says he "because of sin. I'm talking on a spiritual level." AAAHHHHH!!! Our hearts all look different because of sin in the my mind of my baby. And I bet you that in the eyes of God, who can see the heart in a different light and who judges it's motivations, our hearts all DO look different. When I think of a heart full of sin, I think of black and decay instead o...
