He Believes in Me

Feeling vulnerable, illogical, and a little crazy, I went up to him and asked for prayer and a listening ear. He's my safe place; that place I can go and get all the crazy out and feel like I am going to be okay. He's been by my side for what seems like forever and yet, I still question whether I should let it all hang out worried that I may scare him away. I never do though. He is always there; steady.

My husband believes in me and that's a good feeling. He believes in me even when I don't believe in myself. He let's me go and be and do the things I was created for even if that brings him more work or sacrifice to his life. He dreams bigger dreams for me because he believes I can. He pushes me without me even knowing it. He believes in me so I can believe in myself.

"I have found the one whom my soul loves." Song of Solomon 3:4

In order for me to see and feel how greatly my husband believes in me, I had to allow myself the space to be vulnerable. I had to let down my guard and let him in trusting that he would hold me and my emotions delicately. He brings a fierce strength to my soul and my being. He allows me a safe place to let it all hang out: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I think this is one of the reasons we have a successful marriage. I know that I can lean into my man and he won't let me fall no matter how crazy big the dream or how irrational my emotions become. He is my steady; my calm. He allows me to be exactly who I am but doesn't let me stay there. He lovingly pushes me out of my comfort zones because he knows the better lies on the outside. He also knows that I am capable of getting there even if I need a little push.

It's a good feeling to know someone believes in you, especially someone you love and admire. When I struggle, feel defeated, or like there is no way I can do what lies before me, I know there is someone standing by my side believing in me when I can't believe in myself. I am forever grateful and am reminded that while God has given me the gift of having someone in the physical realm believe in me, He is always there standing by my side and believes in me in ways I can't even fathom. So, when we feel like we can't, know He believes we can.

'"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."' Jeremiah 29:11

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29

"He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:29-31

"But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:33

Love & Blessings,
Meg

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...
