A Summons of the Heart

  You said, "Follow Me".  You said, "Fear Not".  You said, "I will Never leave You".  You said, "I have Summoned You, and You are Mine".  You said, "Let Go".    You said, "Come".
You said................
  "My Daughter, I am waiting".  "I am waiting for you....patiently waiting".  "I am pursuing...you.... I want your heart".  "You are my creation and I Love You." 
   Knight in Shining Armor.... my heart yearns for you......You satisfy my Soul.......Father you bind my wounds.....Counselor, you have the Answers...are the Answers......My Heart was created to worship you, to be bound with yours.  I am Nothing apart from You.  You are Life Blood.
  That is who you are.....and you pursue.....you chase......you don't give up......you pursue my heart....
I never leave your thoughts.....you are the answer to every need in my soul.....my heart.
  You said, "Follow me"......help me Lord to Follow You.   You said, "Fear Not".....help me let go of my fears....entirely.  You said, "I will Never leave You"......thank you God, you have never left me.  You said, "I have Summoned You and You are Mine".....I am Yours....help me give myself to you.  You said, "Let Go".  God.....take my life, my worries, my concerns...and help me Let Go.  You said, "Come".  God.....I am but a child....help me step forward one foot at a time.....my focus unwaveringly on Your Face.
 

Little Girl

 My husband and kiddos left for a small trip this morning....leaving me home to enjoy a little quiet....some time in the Word and some time to reflect.  As I am sitting here (in the quiet...and its a little weird and wonderful at the same time) I am thinking about things.....life.... blessings...family.......I am so blessed actually, for so many reasons, but this morning I'd like to share one.  I know I share about my kids a lot...but I love them!!!  God's given us a small handful of little people (Actually NOT all so little anymore).  And...they are pretty awesome.  They are each amazingly unique with their own gifts.   I have two awesome big kids (whom will always be little though big)....and one:

Little Girl.....

Oh, how I love you....You're so precious.

The things you do....

The way you hold on to things, unashamed to dance when you're happy.

Your new Flower Girl shoes....you were SO excited.

Your first pair of 3-D movie glasses you can't seem to put down.  That movie sure was fun....I don't blame you for wanting to re-live it....a little.

Your jeans....the ones you like....with the holes in the knees....that you won't let me throw away.

Your journal....always writing something....just like your mama. 

  Oh how precious your childhood is to me....I love your unashamed joy.  You dance in the snow...squeal as we pull into Carl's Jr.....cry when you feel like it (even in Walmart) ...and love everyone you meet.  You continue to wear those cool shoes though the wedding was two months ago and those 3-D glasses....well....last night you slept with them next to you.  Baby girl.........oh, how I love you.

 

James 1:17

 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Much Love,
A Very Blessed Mama
 
  Enjoy your blessings.  That's why they were given to you.  Thank you for letting me share mine!

A Winter Minute

 

   The sun shines through the window and spills across the floor.  Its been awhile and I've missed it.  It feels so good.    The cat curled up on the bed, enjoys its rays.  Outside the wind swirls the snow in small whirlwinds.  Sparkling, diamonds of the winter reflecting the suns light, the ice and snow shine.  It may be -2 outside, but its so beautiful, and I am glad to be on this side the window.  A warm observer of God's blessing and provision.
  The sun reflects off the lake below, I can see the water...choppy in the wind, yet brilliantly peaceful.  A good day to be off the boat and.....observing it all from behind glass.  The mountain before me: silver, crisp and sparkling.  A mist hangs blissfully over it all in small wisps.   Blessings.  
  God.....you are amazing. 

Thank you.
