Is anybody there?

-
His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden. -Habakkuk 3:4


Where are you?  I can't feel you?  Are you there?  Have you left me?  Why aren't you talking to me?  These are the complaints that fly from my lips more frequently that I like to admit.  I will throw a pity party, playing the lonely victim.  And then, something beautiful happens.  This morning it just happened to be in the form of a sunrise that was so splendid.  This sunrise was so bright that it left me completely in awe of the artist.  And there, all I could say was thank you.  Thank you for painting that sunrise for me.  It was the perfect reminder that of course my father is there.  Not only is he there, but he loves me.  He showed me that with the sunrise today, and continues to show His love in my life and in yours. 


Father, thank you so much for reminding me exactly how much you love me.  Forgive me for doubting that.  I pray that you will open my eyes to your splendor today.  Help me to see you in my day.  Thank you so much for your splendor, I am in awe of you.  In  Jesus name I pray-AMEN


CHALLENGE
Take the time today to see and experience God's presence.  Thank him for his presence!  Write a list of ways that you saw his presence, and thank him!

Rejoice

For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands. -Psalm 92:4 aaaaahhhh!!!  Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Rejoice!!   It has been 9 months since I have last blogged.  Wow!  I seriously feel like I have been hibernating for the last 9 months!  However, I am awake!  In the last nine months, my youngest son graduated from high school, and all three of my boys have moved away...out of state!  My oldest moved all the way to Oklahoma, teaching adorable kindergarteners with his unending passion, energy, and light.  My two youngest decided to join the military to serve and protect our country and our freedom! I am a proud Marine Mom and a proud Air Mom!  And, in June and July, as my sons each left the nest, I somehow found myself frozen, in a hibernation state....I found myself zombie-ing through each day (with my incredible husband, who was also in this crazy zombie state right alongside me).  Until now, I look, and we are in December.  I

Speed bump? No problem! (1 Samuel 17)

  You come to me with sword, spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord Almighty. -1 Samuel 17:45 I wake up this morning with the greatest memory in my head. A memory including speed bumps. A few friends and I, away for a God filled weekend, found ourselves in a parking lot, waiting. Giggling and excited for the weekend. Excited to be together, and excited to spend the weekend with the Lord Almighty, we waited in that parking lot, driving, we circled that parking lot. The parking lot had speed bumps to slow or even stop cars. As we cruised that parking lot, we found ourselves flying over those speed bumps over and over, shouting silly things as we laughed for joy, shouting again! AGAIN!  Normally, I hate speed bumps. They slow me down, shake me up, as I stumble over them. We flew over those speed bumps! Our waiting, for that long time seemed like minutes. Our waiting was so much fun! We flew over those speed bumps time and time again with joy and triumph!
