See you

Last night we were walking to the car. It was already dark. I had Lily's hand but she was afraid. She said "I can't see you." I squeezed her hand and reminded her of my presence. Again she said "momma I can't see you....it wouldnt be scared if I could..." it just melted my heart.

A thousand times in the last week I have said the same thing to God. Lord I can't see you, I am afraid. He always reassures me and I reply as my daughter did. But if I could see you Lord...

Rest your heart today. He is there. He has your hand and He will not leave you. Rest in faith. Hebrews 11:1

Your plate

Last night we were eating dinner. Lily sat really close to me and asked for bites off of my plate. We had the same food, but something about moms plate makes it better. I know this to be true because to this day I can make a plate just like my moms and still want to trade her because hers is better!

As I was praying this morning I thought about how often I try to make my life "look" just like God would want it to. But when it's all said and done, unless my life is completely surrendered to His, it won't be as sweet. Looking the right way doesn't make it great. Today I will let Him be my life.

Spill

Good morning friends! Goodness, life is crazy isn't it. Whew.

Yesterday before we went to church, I spilled an entire cup of coffee. During Sunday school I did it again. Went to wal-mart, knocked about 10 bottles of lotion off the shelf. Really...can't make this up! As I was picking them up i thought, "I should have just stayed in bed this morning" God's reply to my thought ( yes he hears us even when we are not talking to Him) "if you had stayed in bed, you would have missed this moment with Me"

In this Christmas season when we are focused on all the stuff we have to get done....all the places we have to go....all the people we have to please...take time to hear Him. He is speaking to the child He loves, even when you are in the middle of the fourth mess you have made today...
