Love

Wow!  Did any of you see the sunrise this morning?  The sunrise here in Winslow, Arizona was absolutely breathtaking!  I didn't get a picture, however a picture could not have captured the shades pink, gold, orange, violet and blue, just right.  Our incredible savior also took the time to create the perfect sunrise!  Wow!  This morning, my heart feels too big to fit into my chest!  I feel the love of our redeeming Father this morning deep in my soul!  I can feel it in my bones!  I had a student that showed me her beautiful gift that she received from a friend.  The gift was a glass jar with peppermints.  A sweet gift that truly brightened this girl's entire day!  The gift was a simple, yet beautiful demonstration of love that one friend has for another. This gift also gave my student the feeling of love, deep in her heart, and was well reflected in her beautiful smile.  It really made me think...how am I demonstrating God's love to others.  How am I reflecting the love that I feel so deep in my heart.  How am I sharing this love with another?  Today, I want to be intentional with that love...I want to show others the love that I feel!  I want to demonstrate that love that my savior demonstrates, and that I am so incredibly blessed to witness in my students, friends, family, neighbors, and strangers. 


Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.  A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' -Matthew 22:37-39

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!
