More Than Enough

I must begin by admitting that I woke up today with much trepidation and a lot of fear. Fear for the future and what it does or doesn't hold. Fear that this may happen again or we may have a sick baby. But, I got up. I got ready and went through the motions of getting Jack ready for Jungle Gym. On our way to his gym class I began to pray aloud, as I do every morning on our way to our daily adventure. Jackson usually just sits in the back playing with his toys, unfazed. This time, however, was different. He called "mommy mommy." I told him I was praying and asked him if he wanted to pray. He said, "ok." So, I asked to say the following prayer: "Thank You, Jesus, for this day. Amen!" He said it perfectly and excitedly!

I have had the song "More Than Enough" stuck in my head for a few days. I've been thinking about the words, "All of You is more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and every need..." I've been pondering these words for a while asking myself if I truly believe them. If everything was taken from me would God be enough? He answered that question for me loud and clear today! He is more than enough and will fill every thirst and every need I have. He did it today when I got to hear my little boy say his first prayer and utter Jesus' name. God knows exactly what we need at exactly the right time even when we don't ask and feel lost. He is more than enough!


This is Jackson after he prayed. He was very proud of himself! This could have been because his mommy was clapping and crying and telling him wildly how proud she was of him. By the way, I was stopped when I tok the picture:)

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...

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. ...

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...
