What to say?

I haven't posted for a few days because I can't think of what to say. There are so many things I would like to say, but when I go to put them down they just don't come out right so I end up deleting them and then I post nothing. So today, I was looking back through some of my older posts and I thought I would share what is going on with me at this time. We are in the process of adopting our youngest son. This is such a huge blessing for me and even though I doubted and complained along the way, I know God has us here for such a time as this and I am so excited to see His hand move in my family right now. It is so exciting when we get to look back over the time we have spent pondering and questioning His ways to see how everything came together at the perfect time. I know He has us here at this moment for a reason and I can't wait to see the rest of His plan as it unfolds right before of my eyes. The other thing I have been hit with is since I posted "My house is His house", my house has turned into a disaster zone. I am so ashamed to admit it, but I have completely let things go and let the enemy get a hold of this area of my life. Once I decided I wanted to keep it looking good for God and not myself it is like everything fell apart and chaos ran through my house. Well no more. Today is a new day and even the kids are sensing the change in me and in our home. Last night the Lord woke me up and I had some great time alone with Him and He revealed some things to me. One of them is that I need to stand up in the authority He has given to me through the covenant I have with Him. So that is what I am doing today. With some encouragement this morning from my best friend my ways are changing today and I am so excited. The last three weeks have been a new challenge for me with much needed breakthrough. Someday I will share, but for now I leave you with my life verse Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart!"

My Family

About every three months the women from my Mom's side of the family all get together. We pick a restaurant and eat and talk. It is funny because they eat and then they leave. It cracks me up. Anyway, the Lord is using me to minister to my family and last night He used my oldest son. He is 4 years old and it is so exciting to hear him talk about Jesus. Last night he was asked about what he was going to dress up as for Halloween and he very politely answered "we don't celebrate that and I am not dressing up as anything." My cousin was shocked and looked at him kind of funny, but he just put the biggest grin on his face and loved on her. The really neat thing is that he doesn't really know her because he doesn't see her but once a year. My extended family isn't really close and the reason we are getting together is my Mom, and her aunts all decided that since they were getting older and may not be here much longer we had better start getting together so their kids would know each other. I know that sounds funny, but that is the truth. So, during dinner the Lord was using Tra and he was talking and singing about Jesus all night. It was such a blessing to see. At the end of the night I was able to pray for my Mom and I can't wait to see the fruits of her healing! Thank You Lord for allowing me and Tra to be your humble servants!

Back on Track!

I'm back! I have started school and things have been a little crazy adjusting to my new schedule. I am home schooling two of my children and trying to get into a new routine with school and keeping up with my daily house duties. So far things are going great. I am getting up at 4:45am and having a great time with my Lord. Then my daughter is up and ready to go by 6am. We get almost all of her school done before the boys get up and really get things moving in our house. We have breakfast and then finish school. After that we have the rest of the day to do our house duties and play. It is so nice. This frees up my afternoon when we have quiet time to work with my oldest son on his preschool stuff or do anything extra with my daughter. Sometimes I find I am just enjoying my quiet time too because I am still adjusting my body schedule to getting up so early. I am really excited to see the Lord moving in me and my family and can't wait to see how He is going to change us and what He is going to have us do next. I am trying to figure out when to put the computer back into my schedule, but I think I have figured it out. I have missed being on here and am looking forward to catching up on my reading and talking with all of you! I hope you are having a Blessed Day in the Lord!

Good Morning!

Today the Lord gave me time with Him outside on my deck. It was so quiet and peaceful, wow, I would like to be out side more in the mornings. So He was challenging me this morning about where my strength comes from and is my courage changed by the crowds around me. I am excited to say that my strength comes from Him and I don't believe that my courage is changed by the crowds around me. I will say that sometimes I do not feel as bold as I would like to be depending on where I am at and who I am talking with, but I know that the Lord is working on me in this area. So, thank You Lord for showing me this and for giving me the willingness to see my weakness and to change it. Father, I so love You and I want every area of my life to serve nothing but You!
