Unapologetically and Honestly Loving Others with Reckless Abandon

" I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord' be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:13&14 What an amazing promise for us to hang on to for today. I know that I tend to feel sad and think that things in my life are never going to change, then I read this verse. I am just so amazed at how this verse just popped out at me today. I must have been needing to hear it. I love when that happens, you just need a small word from God reminding you that things are different and that you are doing as He has called. I love it. I am just so glad that I am able to see that now. Thank you Lord for your small miracles everyday. I love that those are the ways that you meet us right where we are and then begin to change us and make us more like you. I wonder if those wise men who came to bring you gifts as a child ever knew that they would be apart of History the way they are. I wonder if they wouldn&

It is the day after Christmas, a day that tends to be forgotten by alot and ignored by many. I know that today for me means back to reality. I love to not always live in the now when days like today happen but I want to enjoy them. I want to appreciate them as much as we do the significant days. I think that we look so forward to other things happening in life that we miss these perfectly beautiful days. I know yesterday was a windy and crazy day for most. You were not able to enjoy the day like you were meant to, because of running around and seeing all the family and making sure you had enough time for it all. Well I know that I don't want to miss out on today's manna or todays blessings because I am living in the past or looking toward the future. I want today's blessings TODAY!!!! I want to be a blessing to others today and I want to allow God the room to bless me if that is His desire. I seem to catch myself wanting it to be another time in my life but then I tend t

Have you ever thought of what a crown actually represents? Have you ever thought why they are so important? Or why in the world they are so desired by little girls? I don't claim to understand or know it all by any means but I can give you my thoughts on it. I know that being one of those little girls what it was like to want one and to see others have it and not totally getting how come they are so desired. Even now I desire to have one, I wear one on my hand as a symbol but what do they mean? Well I see them as something that God honestly created to represent chosen or honored people. Some people in History and even today, in the countries that still have a monarchy, have some who disgrace the crown they are privileged enough to wear. Are you one of those? Are you honorable enough to wear a crown and not disgrace the family you represent? I know that there are days I can confidently say I think so but for the most part I would have to say No, it isn't reflected in my attitud

I have been out of commission in writing for a while with just so many things going on but I decided that I had a plan to be able to do this. I am just so excited for this Christmas season and I am just so glad to be able to share it with my family and friends. To think that this year is over and that we are headed for another exciting year in Christ I am just looking forward to it. I know that this next year is going to be different than I have had in a long time, if ever. God has plans for 2008. Last night I got to go and do something that I haven’t ever been able to do with people that I love. I got to go and enjoy Disneyland with them and just to watch the kids play and enjoy each other was such a treat for me. I know that God is showing me and teaching me more and more how to take in every moment and not to miss out on anything. To watch kids grow and change is showing me how precious each second is, even in the midst of a hard time. I sit here and smile at the thought that if I f
