....For....

.... the weeks I've missed blogging and spent living,
and for remembering my need of connection and reflection

For cute tummies,
and amazing soul feeding Christ centered friendships

For a husbands devotion, tender unsure prayers and love,
and wall crashing big dreams; for a Lord who can make it all possible

For children who come, with eyes filled with tears seeking prayer,
and the gift of spending each day with the 3 most amazing people I know

For weeks of sunshine,
and days of rest

For hindering them not at the foot of the Cross,
and remembering the week that changed EVERYTHING,

For a gift so amazing it brings me to my knees and my soul to my Father,
and soul tears shed for the Mother that watched MY savior, her baby be crucified

For quiet, big prayer closet filled moments,
and broken lives made new.

For a family that's been changed,
and Grace that's new each morning.


For You oh Lord I am Grateful, because of You I am blessed.

I can Only Imagine...

God is so good. He so over reigns. (don't you love that breakdown of sovereign?)

Last night I witnessed His spirit flow freely. There was no sermon- no one who spent years in seminary uncovering truths I can not fathom. Yet my eyes glistened and I felt His spirit more deeply the I could have imagined.

Who could of imagined a group of 2- 12 year olds could be so full of Him? The one that made them. The one that saved them.

He could.

They asked Jesus, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” “Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, ‘You have taught children and infants to give you praise. -Mathew 21:16

(Let them all praise the name of the Lord. For his name is very great; his glory towers over the earth and heaven -Psalm 148:13)

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Mathew 19:4

.... our homeschool group had a presentation night. Some of the children tagged it a show off night and for me- I think they were right. They were showing off Our Father- His blessings, His love, the wonders of His creation.

They sang the old hymns, they recited the Scriptures, they showed that they have wisdom beyond their years, and they amazed us with their deft fingers on ivory keys, silver flutes, and bow strings. Oh yes He was there and He was praised.

Psalms 139 written across a heart, The Lords prayer closing their thoughts, fellowship, grace and love.

He was there. I was blessed.

As one brilliant duet belted out "I can Only Imagine"....

This is what it will be like.

Heaven Belongs to such as these.
I can only imagine.

Children are a gift from the Lord;
they are a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
