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

In awe...


Sometimes I am just in awe. How in the world did I get so lucky. I sit back at times and I am completely blown away by my boys. Completely in awe of how God knit two lives together that created these 4 beautiful human beings. Have you ever just sat back and stared at your kids. Of course at this age they think they are in trouble or mom is just plain weird. That's ok. I am in awe! The beauty of each one. The characteristics of being so alike yet so different. I LOVE being their mom! Gods handiwork is so amazing and beautiful.  How inside of you for 9 months grows this little person who is alive at conception. How it grows is nourished and develops to be born dependent on you. What a huge responsibility. No doubt that responsibility seems overwhelming at times. But God equips! He give strength! 

So many things happen in this life that I know we just take for granted. We just let the days pass and we don't see the glory in it let alone give God the glory for it. How he perfectly orchestrates an event in our lives when it just seems heavy and burdensome. He has a plan! How you show up at church on Sunday morning and you are in awe that the message given was for you. In awe of doors shutting, shutting, shutting only to have one open so easily. Wow! God shows up in big ways sometimes. He shows up when we least expect it. It's like a puzzle. When keep trying to shove a piece that doesn't fit into the place you WANT it to go. It doesn't work. Frustration sets in. You feel defeated. Only to see God quietly lift your hand and place  it on the right piece and put it into place. Of course it fits perfectly! My prayer is to follow Gods plan. That we follow his lead! Sometimes it's dreary and dark. Sometimes we can't see our way to the next step until we have reached it...and God just shines brighter and brighter...and I just sit back in awe of how magnificent he is! Praising GOD from whom ALL blessings flow.
