Be Still (Psalm 46:10)

Double post today...had a slight computer glitch that I should have known how to fix, but did not - so 2 posts bright and early! 

Scripture of the moment: Psalm 46:10

Be still and know that I am God.

Do you ever take time to do that? Actually be still enough to realize that God is in control and that makes everything else okay? It is hard to do! In today’s day and age I feel like when I actually have five minutes to myself rather than take time to enjoy the stillness, I have to quick check my facebook or email. There is always something that takes precedence over actually being still and taking time to relish the fact that God is God!

Even as I write this, I am sitting on my son’s floor because he asked me to stay here until he fell asleep. This is not a typical request…but my first thought was “no…this is my blog time!!” But as I listen to him rustle about attempting to fall asleep I am filled with more peace than I have felt for most of the day. I got to hear him pray by himself and loved as he attempted to sing “I love you Lord” by himself. Those are little things I don’t often get to hear!


And in this moment, as he whispers to himself I am trying to lock this in my memory bank. But I am also feeling God in here! As if, even with the words and the classical music playing, and my typing…there is a stillness. It is a stillness of my heart. And my heart is definitely aware that God is who he says he is. In the chaos and in the quiet, he doesn’t change.

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...
