He is Jealous for me !

We sang this song on Sunday and ever since I've been trying to wrap my thoughts over how it is possible for God to be zealous/jealous for me.. He passionately looks for my undivided love and attention.. It is shameful how badly I fall short.. yet he loves me.. much deeper than I can ever comprehend.. And He has graciously supplied all my needs..
This past year every time I've tried to get something done for me, He has intervened, given me something better, something I could not imagine for myself.. He has taught me to turn to Him alone for help, to let go and trust Him.
Thank you God for this fabulous year!  Forever grateful for a God who loves me immeasurably and a husband who loves God more than anything else!

Second Chance ...

A second chance is an awesome gift. It is UNdeserved and a sheer act of grace.
Even though i wandered astray, my Heavenly Father wooed me back to His sweet embrace and blessed me with a great beginning - an awesome Husband and an adorable daughter. I am the daughter of the most High and I know am chosen by Him, for Him.
Through Him I can do great things, He strengthens me.
The snares of this world keep pulling me down and I can barely resist the temptations of this world. My old tendencies keep winning over me.
But greater than any enemy is my God, who moves my heart, draws me to green pastures and is willing to give me a second chance.

Squeals of Laughter!!!

There is absolutely something therapeutic about a baby squealing with laughter. Infectious!
I wonder when/why I ever stopped squealing with laughter????

 

Dear Jesus,

Help me to see the world

through a child's eyes again--

to delight in simple pleasures,

to delight in the outdoors

and to balance my work with play.

Build memories of good times together

that will last forever!

 

Amen.
