Love Notes

As I watched her tiny frame float across the floor - I stopped immediately.  It was breathtaking!  Overwhelmed with the desire for my heart to be so open... to hear from God the way a child does...  completely encapsulated with His love. 

Tears flowed freely as I watched her interpretation of this song.  With each movement God was portrayed.  Such an innocent display of worship.  So sweet.  So gentle.  His presence filled the room.  Once again I was held by my Savior... for just a moment.  I stood in awe...  

Most of the time He speaks to my heart through the simple things of life.  My precious little girl is one way He reveals Himself to me often.  I know He desires to speak with me daily...sometimes I miss it.  I'm busy.  Too busy.  I rattle off my prayers...checking off my list of requests.  How many times do I forget to be still... and wait for Him to respond?  Longing for me to know Him more - He will grab my attention away from the distractions of this life.  And when I choose to bask in His presence...He shows Himself so vividly.. just to say "My child, I love you."  What an incredible Father He is!




I pray that you all would be blessed by His grace, mercy and love-note moments today!

Until then...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips. The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church this past Sunday.  To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation.  Healing and refreshing. ...

Farewell Mr. Turkey

It's time to roll up our sleeves and have some fun in the kitchen!  I can't wait for the scrumptious aroma of Thanksgiving dinner to travel through my home like a welcomed guest.  Mmmmm...yummy!  My mouth is waterin' just thinkin' about it. I get a lot of requests for recipes so here are a few that seem to earn a coveted spot on the menu year after year.

A New Chapter

It seems like yesterday... I can still remember the moment his bare skin pressed against my chest.  With limbs too exhausted to move - still they found their way to envelope this tiny gift.  "Hi baby, I'm your mom."  With the sound of my voice his face turned to meet mine.  Deep, genuine eyes peered into my soul.  Doctors rushed about as I lay on the table, life draining from my veins, but the atmosphere did not speak of the danger lurking.  For just a moment... as that little guy locked me into his gaze.. all was perfect...Heaven met us both... and in our own world two hearts melted into one.   The room was quiet.  Doctors, family and friends had finally left us alone.  This was the moment I had been waiting for.  Yet I was terrified - terrified that I would fail him.  In silence I sat, fixated on the clear plastic basket that held my heart.  My breath heaved heavy as I pic...
