God is Working

Well.....God is working in the lives of those I love, after years of prayer I am starting to see a glimmer of hope. Lesson learned, NEVER stop praying for those you care about. God hears every prayer and works on HIS time line. I may not be able to see HIS work, as only GOD can see the inside...BUT I know that HE is faithful and hears the prayers of those who love HIM. Thank you that after all these years, 30 to be exact, there is a small change. Whatever the change, it has given me the hope to KEEP praying until I take my last breath. Thank you for your faithfulness. Never give up hope. You may be the only person praying for a particular situation, hang in there and REMEMBER that GOD hears your prayers.

God's Hand At Work

This has been a busy summer, great learning opportunities and chances for ministry. Where do I begin? Well I spent some awesome time with my kids, so enjoyed watching them grow as a couple. Had an opportunity to cling to the Lord, draw upon His strength and minister to loved ones who were hurting. Spent a week with my husband enjoying acting like kids again. and finally just got home from an unexpected trip to Florida. WOW! The God we serve is so good. His fingerprints touched so many facets of the life in Florida I care about. God no matter where I was or what was going on you were always in the midst to uphold me and give me your strength. Thank you for making yourself real in the lives of those I care about and have prayed for all these years. You are awesome. Thank you Lord. I love you.

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,
