A word that has me right now is the word "content". I keep telling myself to be content for now. It okay. Be patient. When in my heart I scream "NO"! I refuse to be content with where we are. I refuse to be unchanged. I refuse to conform to the way 90% of the world chooses to live. I will not be struck down by mediocrity and allow myself to simply be "content". I choose to live. I want my boys to live. To live outside of the "norm" and be different. I want them to know that different can be so much better. Wise words from my husband on a beat myself up day..."Everyday is a gift. Get busy living and loving. Don't wait until it's too late to enjoy the day God has given us." There is a great big world out there calling our names. Screaming to us that the life we want is not set aside for the elite or the select few. It's there for little old us. And little old you. Dream big. Believe big.
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16

Dream Big...Believe Big
Light to a dying world. This is what we want to be. The light that shines for others to see. But often times we feel like we need that light ourselves. When our world feels dark and we look for that re-assurance, a guiding hand, a hand stretched out to help us up. Sometimes the day "gets me". It chews me up and spits me out. It tangles me up and I can't seem to get undone. All the while I feel it...I feel Satan's sheepish grin knowing he "got me" today. Then you sit down and open your Bible or devotion and the words are there. Right in front of you. Satan will not defeat me.
