Praying for

the far too many single moms out there. the moms who have been left by men in pursuit of sinful desires.
the moms who took abuse because they didn't understand their immeasurable self worth, but knew that protecting their children was of extreme importance to them. the moms whose husbands lost interest because they didn't fathom that maybe, just maybe, it's as great a part of their responsibility to keep things 'interesting' as it is hers.  the moms who chose (or were chosen by) men with less than Godly characteristics, and while they may have seen it, chose to be blinded by the pursuit, the attention, the 'love'.  Lord, I pray that you renew in me a clean heart, that continues to walk with you daily and share that walk with all of these women, so that they may see Your Glory and Honor and KNOW you are the only one worthy of our Worship and Praise.

There by the Grace

Love and Grace, act like you're made of the stuff.
Day by Day, oh Dear Lord these things I pray,
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
day by day by day by day

Jeremiah 29:11-13

And so it is, Lord. May I believe it and recieve it today.
Strength will rise as i wait upon you Oh Lord My God.

Give God all the Glory

Oh Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and your name,
for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things. Isaiah 25:1

My God You are my everything
My Love My Life My Everything
You Lift me up when I need you the most,
You are my strength you are my holy ghost.
All that I am I have you to give praise
and worship your name throughout all of my days.

stilts

Learned something new last night, how to walk on stilts. I was a little reluctant at first and my initial attempt failed quickly. But it didn't take long before I gave it another shot and to much of my surprise I succeeded. Don't ever give up, they say. Don't ever give up.

Freaking Out right now

I mean, when you MOVE us, you MOVE us. You cause us to jump up right out of our skin and shout YES Lord, that is YOU. I hear you!!!

..."But only one of them brought that dream full term and gave birth - because only one of them pushed."

9 months. unreal. 9 months and i've actually USED this analogy in my head. and here it is, Sun Stand Still.

I'm pushing through. I have to keep pushing.

Beaming Bright

I sit and gaze
you do it well
you stun
you amaze

I'm beaming bright
beyond delight
at the magnificent thought
of your very sight

Glowing
Knowing
your love is showing

Jam Packed weekend!

You know me and my recapping ;)
Lord, I truly am praying to you and praising you for the Krotzer Trio. Their courage is inspiring and encouraging, so proud of them.  Please, Lord, go before them, as you always promise, and provide sincere peace for them on the long journey to Taiwan.
Thank you Lord for the beautiful gathering of their friends and family on Friday night, as we got to send them off with a little hands on work too! :) Loved learning something new!

Saturday was filled with tupperware, jewelry and my first night of Alpha (as mentioned below).
Sunday was spent with a great 11:00 a.m. worship, followed by Rohanna, Michaela, Chelsea and Grace all gracing me with their presence in my humble abode ;)  was lots of fun, laughter and smiles.
Then caught a glimpse of Brandon on the Pre-tel Grammy's, was fun to see him there for sure.
Then G2K, always a learning and growing experience for me as well, definitely out of my comfort zone!

Thank you for being there through it all, OH and those BEAUTIFUL little birds outside my favorite window, singing and dancing around as my bunny just snuggled so peacefully :)

You have my Heart

Lord, the last few days have had some wonderful little big blessings.
Starting with meeting Joey, the VERY day I said "hmmm... do I know any welders?" You send me one, who sits with me, draws up a plan and shakes my hand (not once, but twice... too cute) Anyway, Lord, Thank you for showing your Mercies, Your Love and Your compassion for me, daily.

Thursday Morning, although Lord, I don't know your exact Will for this person in my life, I can tell you he has already been a blessing. The smiles, the smiles. I love the smiles.

The story of Radical Mary, coming back around, back into my life, put before me, to Set and Example, a TRIED and TRUE example.$3500 dollar perfume. NOT a coincidence.

Tonight Lord, was my first official Alpha class. Loved it. Loved meeting the 6 other Catholics. Loved the Name Game... though i picked Marvelous Mary, I would have liked to pick Radical Mary... but at least got to spout the word out about "radical" Ryan. :) heehee

Thank you Lord for My Bunny, he's back and he's beautiful.

God's got my back

Receive it and Believe it.
I've been receiving this message LOUD and CLEAR now by a few different avenues, What will it take for me to whole-heartedly believe it and Trust You with My Life, Oh Lord, My God.

Lord, Please give me a final clarity that this IDEA I have is not my will, but your own. You've given me a fair amount of signs, and I really SHOULDN'T be doubting anymore. But say the Word and I will do Your Will. Lord, please guide me through this one.


Amen.

Psalm 143:8

Let the morning bring word of your unfailing Love.
I put my (Faith and Hope and) Trust in you Lord,
Show me the way I should go, for to you i lift up my soul.

Human Kindness is overflowing

and i think it's going to rain today.

Lord, it is the truth that when I focus all my energy and thoughts on the abundance and incredible power of your love, I have a much greater capacity to share it.
Thank you for your Love Lord.

Thank you Lord

Thank you Lord for your blessings yesterday.
Thank you for Julie B. and your impeccable and incredible timing.
Thank you for Sun Stand Still.
I Love you, My Lord, My God.

Your Love, All I ever needed is your love

Your the Hope in the Morning,
your the light when the night is falling,
It's Your Love.

You are my comfort and my joy, you are my strength and my song, Oh Lord, My God.

When I in awesome wonder consider all thy works thy hands have made.

<3

My God, You Are My Everything!

My Love
My Life
My Everything
You lift me up when i need you the most
you are my strength you are my holy ghost
all that I am I have you to sing praise,
and worship your name throughout all of my days
cuz God, you are My Everything!
Amen.

Show me that smile again!

Well, Lord, you've done it again!
Your Love shows up every single day, i know this is true, but somedays I see it much more clearly and it brings that beaming bright, whole-hearted and pure smile of Joy to my face.
Thank you for revealing yourself to me through Him. Him whom I followed for possibly miles today after work :) 
Thank you for knowing Just what I need When I need it.
Thank you.
