How did this happen?

How did this happen?

My kids were playing in their room, creating and racing cars on tracks...while I was slicing some cheese, preparing dinner, just pondering the day and various things in my mind when Matthew called out, "Mommy, come see this track!".

And all I could think was 'whoa, hold on! When did this happen?! Mommy? me? But I'm just a kid myself!

Ha! Oh boy...I'm not sure if that ever happens to you, but it's happened before to me...in my mind...sure is strange!

It's a good day to be a mom :)

Little bits of happy

There's a break in the clouds, His glory coming down!

Perspective

Deuteronomy 11:18-19

¹⁸ Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. ¹⁹ Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

During a time of rest and transition

During a time of rest and transition.

This is a very difficult stage for me. I love doing things, I very much do not like having nothing to do. But there are times when that might be what God is asking of you.

At a women's conference this past weekend, a song was refreshed to me for this time called 'Desert Song' The whole song really is just for such a time as this. I keep listening to it, over and over.

'all of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship!' -Desert Song

I also had a high school student do a painting for my wall. I gave her freedom to do whatever she wanted. What she created amazes me, her talent and gifting is really incredible. Each day I find myself looking at it, and soaking up the truth of the verse she wrote from Psalm 46:10 "cease strive and know that I AM GOD". Can I just say, for a 'what can I do, what can I do?! ' heart, oh man! Cease striving! And KNOW! That GOD is GOD!

Ah. Breath in. Breath out.

Waiting. Listening. Or at least trying :)....
