An Epiphany

I had an epiphany this morning the moment I woke up. The best part is, I remembered it! You know how you wake up, remember a dream, and then five minutes later completely forget it. Well, I didn't want to forget my masterful thought so I thought I'd blog it!

We've all heard and most of us will say/admit that God is good and desires to do great things for us. We hold onto this even as horrible things happen to and around us and it seems all hope is lost. Although it is difficult for me to admit, I tend to be a pessimist with certain things. When life is going good I am bracing for the next storm. When the storm hits I always think of the most tragic outome just "preparing myself" for the worst. Yet you will find me saying "God wants to do great and wonderful things."

Well, I had an epiphany! Why do I always think and wait for the next big storm missing the very treasures God is giving me in the moment? I can't answer that. What I can do is make a choice every moment of every day to live for the next great moment and cherishing exactly where I am because that is where God wants me to be. So, no longer will I be waiting for the next storm (which is sometimes hard to do in Texas...LoL!). I will be cherishing the life and laughter I am experiencing now and awaiting the next great and wonderful adventure God leads me on! To a life well-lived! Cheers!

Acts 2:28 "You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me
with joy in your presence."

Acts 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

So true! It's so easy to forget to cherish the present, forget the past and hold no fear for the future. But, we'd all have more peace in our lives if we did!

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
