Be Still and Know

"Cease striving," the Bible says.  What does that mean?  It means to be absent of any sort of anxiousness... to not be "agonizing" over a situation or circumstance.  It means to enter into rest.  How does that happen?

He hears you...

The silent, sometimes thoughtless, prayers from very young to young adult.  Wanting to be loved.  Not knowing what love really meant.  My cries, my tears, He heard it all.  He heard me and responded when I believed that I would never be loved.  He is the God who hears...

He sees you...

It's amazing to think that the God of heaven and earth saw this little girl on the day she was born.  This same God witnessed every detail of her life as she learned to walk, and ride a bike, and bake a cake, and be a mom.  Amazing...

Riley Roon...

Hey, little guy... Did you know that you brought joy and sunshine to this family?  We had thought we found the perfect pet when Lucy came along.  We lost her, and were heartbroken.  And then came you... 

A welcome place...

"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."  ~Proverbs 16:9
What an amazing privilege to begin to see the plans of the Lord unfold!  He is taking us (two remarkable women and myself) on an exciting adventure - and we're not alone!  Lord, I'm amazed by You!  I'm in awe of Your mercy and grace!  I am willing to go where You lead.  Help me to be faithful.  Help me to trust You.  I'm taking Your hand, Lord!  I'm ready to go!  :)
