Memories

Making the most of every day, that is all we are promised. As my journey in Denver comes to a close, I think  back on all the wonderful things I was able to share with my kids, a day in the pool laughing, a hike with friends exploring the desert side, a breakfast place with a terrific view, seeing new sights together, a baseball game or two, a hike through the Rocky Mountains together for the first time, making dinner, watching a movie, walking around the lake at sunset, shopping for bargains to make their place a home, telling stories, laughing or sharing tears...whatever we did, wherever we went, I will take those memories with me forever. Thank you Lord for a wonderful time with my kids and reminding me that you love them more than I do. I know that you will be with them always to watch over, protect and care for them, that is all a mother could ask for. No matter where I am or where they are or what they are going through, I know I can always lift them up in prayer. Lord I love you and thank you for a wonderful time. You truly are the maker of memories and I thank you.

Finding Comfort

Where do we go when life does not make sense? I run into the arms of Jesus. He is my source of comfort and hope. When we question why, where do I turn? I turn to Jesus, He has the answer even when I don't understand or agree. When situations seem hopeless what do I do? I PRAY, for God can answer anything and do anything. All I have to do is trust that HE knows what is best in every situation. He sees the final Tapestry of my life, with every thread perfectly in place and the final product finished, all I see is the here and now.

Lord today I trust you with those I love.....no matter the outcome.....I know that you are on your throne and have not forgotten about.....Thank you that you love us the way you do.

Resting in the Lord

Well Summer is finally here, a time to unwind, relax and reflect on all that the Lord has provided thus far. As the routine has changed, and my new purpose is unfolding, I am forever reminded of the love my family has for me and the Love and Comfort my God always gives to me as well. Though the last year has had many ups and downs. I have to dwell on the ups. I know that in the valley is where our growth comes, so I can't always expect things to go well. I guess what I am trying to say is enjoy and learn whatever it is God is trying to teach you right where He has you. Rest in Him, Relax in Him and Reflect on what you have learned. Everyday is a gift. Make the most of it. Learn what you must, and cherish every new memory made today.

Thrills the Heart

What thrills the heart more than knowing those we love are happy? Lord I thank you for giving us the ability to know what it is to be happy. No matter our circumstances, or where we are, you are always there with us and bring us great joy. In our joy we are able to find happiness if we allow ourselves. As we remember those who have been an important part of our lives yet are no longer with us, we can remember some wonderful times with them and soon it will bring a smile to our face and even make us happy. Thank you Lord for reminding me of the great times. You truly are an AWESOME GOD.

I love you,

Answers to prayer

ANSWERS TO PRAYER

When God shows up and answers our prayers are we surprised and if so, why? We were praying for any answer. This past week God showed up and answered our prayers in a sweet, simple kind of way. I know that the God who created the universe cares about the things that we care and are concerned about too. How cool that we can go to him in prayer and trust him for the right and best answer for us in His perfect time. Thanks God for all you do for us.

I love you,

God is so good.....

My God is so good....I have learned something this week and seen answered prayers. The best lesson I learned this week is that the one thing I can do for my children is PRAY. No matter where they are or what they are going through, I truly believe there is nothing greater than the power of a mother's heart. When I become anxious for my children I stop what I am doing and lift my eyes to the LORD and PRAY. It brings me comfort and a peace that passes understanding.

GOD even showed me while crying out to Him in PRAYER, that he heard me. I received a text with a concern attached and immediately began praying, a few minutes later received a text that things seemed much better and even later received another text that things were better than they thought. Way to go JESUS.

Thanks LORD for hearing my heart, answering my prayers, and comforting me in the midst of my pain. I truly know that you care and love me. Thanks also for loving my kids more. I know I can trust them into your hands and you will care for them.

When I am weak and fearful, I turn to you...you promise to never leave me or forsake me and when I am weak and fearful you promise to help me be strong and courageous.

I love you LORD.

Mothers Day (memories to last a lifetime)

A wonderful reminder of things hoped for, dreams reached, closed chapters and new beginnings. As we start a new chapter in our life, my question is Lord what am I suppose to learn....I have been reminded all day of how blessed I am. God has been telling me to trust Him with those I love. I am to trust with my whole heart and lean not on my own understanding. Thanks Lord for loving me so much and giving me the life you have, I truly am a blessed MOM.
