Spring (Song of Songs 2:10-13)

Scripture of the Day: Song of Songs 2:10-13

My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.The fig tree forms its early the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”

Oh, on this day, I feel like Spring is here! The sun is out, the snow is melting and I am waiting to see the growth begin! For the past week or so, I have also felt that Spring is starting in me too. My awesome pastor sent me a text to read the verses above last Tuesday when I was having a not-so-good day. The words were beautiful when I read them, but they took some time to sink in. 

This winter has been rough, due to the crazy weather and my crazy health! The storm in my life was so blinding I couldn't really see outside of it for a while. Too tired to focus on anything but getting over some invisible hump so I could being the road to recovery, I lost sight of God somewhere along the way. This is not to say that I was angry or upset...I was so exhausted and confused that I was trying to get better on my own. I lost sight of the whisper I so love (check out previous post for more on that). 

Thankfully, God didn't give up on me :). He has shown himself to us over and over this last week. I see Him everywhere. In every card I receive, in every offer of assistance from friends and family (actual and our amazing family of Christ which is HUGE), in every conversation that uplifts, even in every new food I can digest and every day I go longer without pain medicine. For the last week, every person I see/converse with seems to be sent. 

God is bringing me to my Spring. He is growing me into a more humble, more generous, more thankful, more grateful person than I have ever been before. I am excited to see who I become. 

In closing I would like to thank you ALL. If you are reading this, you care about me and my family. I know you have prayed for us and sent all the positive thoughts are way that you could muster. Every word you have written me is appreciated. Every meal and gift card provided has been an amazing help and allowed us to NOT have to worry about where our food is coming from! I feel more loved at this time, and I have never more visibly seen the body of Christ that is made up of every person I know! My husband and I love and appreciate each and every one of you. May God bless and keep 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...
