Whispers from Him

Do you ever feel like it's all been done before?

I often feel like it's all been said before. Everyone has a blog these days and many of the themes written about have been written many times over and again.

What else is there left to say?

Yet somehow God often connects just the right message from the right perspective to the person who needed to read it at just that time.
I know that's happened to me many times.

I like writing.
I like blogging.
But I pray that what I write, I write only what I hear from Him to you, reader, whoever you are and whatever season you are in life now.
That's the purpose of my writing.
I'm not so interested in airing out my opinions. It seems like there's more than enough opinions to go around these days.
I write what I hear Him speak to my heart.

You are not alone.
Your life has meaning.
Your voice will not go unheard.
The impact you make may not look like much to you but it might be much bigger than you could have ever imagined.

Follow what He called you to do.
Be bravely still and watch His hand prepare your path.
Be not afraid of the wait. For sometimes we need only to be still as He does battles unseen on our behalf.

Remember, sometimes His voice comes as a whisper and will always be missed if you don't stop to listen.
Silence is not a lack of direction--it is a momentary pause for reflection.

What have you heard Him say today?

A Mother's Prayer Journal

Pages filled with anxious thoughts. Self rebukes over faithless walks. Tear stained ink blots. Happily scribbled exclamation dots. Trials recorded and lives unfolded, Over the creased lines of stories told. Pleas for wisdom. Cries for mercy. Answered petitions, And surprised renditions Of stories with newly twisted plots. Desperation. Exasperation. Written daily! Then forgotten lazily... Stories of successful potties. Frustration with consistent naughty. Prayers of hope. Prayers for peace. Memory verses needed as Persistent sources of daily strength. Determined stances. Defeated chances. Joy filled exclamations. Laughed over situations. Healing supplications. Worship then adoration. These are what fill my pages. Stories of my children's lives. Written with a fiery drive By a mother who strives To cover them in prayer. Memories for one day soon. A notebook to be passed on to you. A family recipe better than any heirloom. A mother'...

Living out your mission--even if it's too loud this morning

I love my kids. I want nothing but the best for them and I enjoy their unique personalities. That being said... It's hard to selflessly devote each second of each day of every week all year long to them. There are those days when I don't feel like getting up to be on call mommy all day again. This morning was one of those days... They were being just a little too loud a little too early for me and I could feel the nerves inside cringing already. Then I read this... “I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service,” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭ 1:12 ‬ ‭ESV‬‬ http://bible.com/59/1ti.1.12.esv ...and I felt immediately thankful that God had counted me faithful/hardworking enough to grant me the opportunity to watch over my two for a time. Despite my past failures, He had seen enough of something in me to know that He could entrust two little souls to my care. I am in His service--daily caring for two pe...

Not yet time

"Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself." (John 6:15) It wasn't time yet.  "One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Philippians 2:10)  If there was anyone more worthy to be crowned king it was Jesus. He could have allowed them to elevate Him to the position He so rightly deserves but He knew it wasn't time yet. There was still more in the story to learn...more of the story that needed to be told...more of the story that needed to be remembered and recorded for our sakes all these years later. One day He will come back in all His glory as King, but that particular day, it was not yet time. There's a big dream I have. One I have had for many years now, and I know is a God placed dream in my heart. One I hope someday becomes a reality; but it isn't time yet. There are still lessons I need to learn, perspec...
