April ~ 2008

 

This year has been one busy year already ... I shared with Darrin just the other day that I realize I am in a NEW season of life with a new ministry focus.  A season that is fun, challenging, time consuming, rewarding, tiring, new every day ... the season of parenting.  My children are my main focus of ministry in this season. 

 

 

The Lord has been so gracious to provide avenues of ministry for me that allow me to continue with singing ~ I lead worship at my church on Sunday's, direct a vocal team in our student ministry and teach private lessons at a studio near my home.  I have been blessed with various opportunities to minister at Women's Events and local churches in the area.  Those times have been wonderful, but each time I leave for travel ... I am drawn to the need at home.  

 

This new season has opened doors for me to teach with Darrin and lead in Bible Study together, what a TRUE Joy!  I have loved not only learning with Darrin in the studies we lead, but learning from him as well. 

 

My pastor just completed an AMAZING study in the book of Nehemiah  ... wow, I was inspired, challenged and renewed.  I was in church for the entire series (usually I miss one or two from being away).... the Lord knew I needed every one ... every word from the Nehemiah series!

 

The Lord is so faithful to His children, knowing our needs even when we ourselves do not see and He meets each one, in His time.   I am so excited to see the direction He is taking me in this NEW season, and pray to be continually focused on Him so that I do not miss a single step!

Monday, June 23

 

Today has been a day of reflection for me. All day long I have continually been reminded of my heavenly Father's love for me.  The reminders have come while looking into the eyes of my children.  When they would hug me, hold my hand, sit in my lap to read a book and yes, even when a sweet kiss would turn into silly wet "zerbert" on my cheek, I was reminded of my  Father's love and blessings.

 

When I was told by my doctor at age fifteen that I could not have children I remember praying to the Lord with such a pure, childlike faith.  Praying and trusting the Lord with this area of my life ~ this loss. Knowing at that moment His plan for me was perfect.  Knowing He would protect me, provide for me, whisper His promises of truth to me and instill in me scripture that would carry me through each moment of my life.

 

Today as I look at my children I am overwhelmed by my heavenly Father's love for me.  He has formed with His hands and placed in mine the most beautiful children ... they are an expression of His love for me.  A reminder to me that His promises are true. He loves me so much words cannot describe nor express.  The cross ... His love ... His blood shed for my sin.  His promise of eternal life ... His promises are true. He will never leave me, He will not forsake me ... I will never walk a path alone ... I will never face a problem or difficult circumstance alone.  He is with me and He has gone before me to direct each step I take.

 

My children, as I watched them play today and as I kissed each one goodnight I was embraced by the LOVE of my heavenly Father!
