Psalm 37:4

Wow! I got some perspective today. I was looking in my bible for some notes and I ran across the first page in the bible where the person giving you the bible signs it. Well, obviously I knew who signed it and at one point I had looked up the verse they had written down. However, many years and two children later I had forgotten. So today I see it look it up and I am blown away. Not only by the words of the verse but the depth to which they reach in my heart! The verse was Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Fifteen words that gave me hope then and bring tears of joy and so much more than I can say almost 8 years later.

What a savior we have! He can take someone like me who was so angry and rebellious toward him and show me his mercy, grace and compassion. He can take me with all my scars and a broken heart and bless me with a man that loves me for who I really am...the true me that few know. That he can make me a mother of two little boys that move me on a daily basis to be a better person; to learn more about God; and have a child like faith. That he can do all these things is so surreal to me. That even when I have no clue what motivates me or what I really need he does; he knows what I need. That amazes me on so many levels I can't explain. I just know that I love him and I am so thankful to know him and to feel his presence.

What a morning!!!!

Original Post 8/30/2008 It is just now 8:11 AM and my morning has already been chaotic! I woke up to Coleman crying ready to eat at 5:30....This is 30 minutes after I should have been up getting ready. I was just too tired I guess because I never heard the alarm clock. So out of bed I jump and run downstairs and get a bottle for Coleman and realize that Jackson is now crying too. Where is Trey in all this?!?!?! Still asleep! How is it that a mom hears every cry and a dad has selective hearing? At this point I run back upstairs and get Trey awake and tell him he has to feed Coleman and then I go to check on Jackson and he is hungry so back downstairs we go with sheep, his stuffed animal that is his best friend to cozy up to at night. We get downstairs and he wants a banana and some milk. I get all this together and then we start back upstairs and I see a bunny outside the house through one of the sidelights next to the door and I stop everything because I know Jackson would love to se...

5:22

Sorry for the delay in posting this as a sequel to my last post on May 22 nd . I got home on that particular Friday night and I laid down with Jackson to try and get him to sleep and the verse Galatians 5:22 popped in my head. I thought that was weird since I had woke up at 5:22 that morning...and as I put it together today...it was the 5 th month and the 22 nd day! Coincidence? I think not. So being that I am the mom of two little ones. I ended up collapsing and waking up at 5:22 Saturday morning. My first reaction was OH NO how did I sleep in here all night? This is not good. Jackson will expect this! Where is Trey? Why didn't he wake me up? Then I realize it is 5:22 AM and God is saying Galatians 5:22 in my Student bible that moved with me to Nashville. So at this point I go to the bonus room open up the bible to Galatians and read a section on the fruits of the spirit and then I go to the verses and find "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindne...
