Father, I ask for calm and peace as I put the day behind me. Let me rest knowing you are in control of what I couldn’t do on my own. Thank you for every victory and blessing that came my way. Lord, I ask as I settle in tonight that you give me a deeper glimpse of your heart towards me. I pray that while I sleep that you would instruct me. Give me dreams and visions that will cause my faith to rise and make me brave. Please cover and protect those I love. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Good morning friends!! 

I’m already up and at it. Haircuts, clean up from sleepover {thanks for the prayers everyone, I’m alive}, and football team mom duties! It’s gonna be a good one! 

No matter what your day looks like let me encourage you to rest. Yes, I know some of y’all work but this is another kind of rest. This rest doesn’t worry. It’s not your worries that get things done but it is the hand of God that personally handles your life. It doesn’t scramble to make things happen. You’re not your own source! This rest makes you dwell in peace. You will just know that you know that God won’t fail you. I don’t know where you are today but let me speak this over you…Not my might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord!! You’re safe! You’re covered! You’re protected! You’re provided for! You’re forgiven! You’re loved! You’re his child! You will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! You will live and not die to declare the works of the Lord. You will testify to the faithfulness of God! God will do all that he said and more just hold on dear friend! Today could be your day for breakthrough so walk in expectation!! 

Blessings!! 

So Far From Over

Good morning friends!! I had a dream that I was striving and I was upset at others {in my heart} who had it easier, faster. I woke up singing this song so I believe this word is for you {and me}…whoever you are…wherever you are!! 

  • Lay your head down tonight
  • Take a rest from the fight Don’t try to figure it out
  • Just listen to what I’m whispering to your heart
  • Cause I know this is not anything like you thought the story of your life was gonna be
  • And it feels like the end has started closing in on you but it’s just not true. 
  • There’s so much of the story that’s still yet to unfold. {chorus…And this is going to be a glorious unfolding. Just you wait and see and you will be amazed.You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over. So hold on to every promise God has made to us And watch this glorious unfolding} Steven Curtis Chapman ” The Glorius Unfolding”

Gods word for us today…I see you. I know it’s hard to see others move forward when it seems like your standing still in time. Quit striving for what is already yours. You will not walk into the next step one moment sooner than my plan allows. I appreciate all that you do but this plan requires your absolute rest in me. This is not laziness but reliance on me. Don’t worry about what’s going on around you. Don’t look at others growth and measure your life by theirs. This is how envy begins. I know you’re weary, frustrated, and even angry. I have so much more for you just trust. I see the end from the beginning and your end is spectacular!! Allow ME to unfold my plan for you!!

I’m sitting here in my car sipping on a pumpkin spice latte and not at all feeling one bit of guilt!! I’m a full time mom who homeschools two children while my other son is a freshman in high school and another in the Marines. The past 13 years have been surrounded with endless nights of football practice, homework, and laundry! 

I love my life. I love who I do life with but I need to take a minute and just do nothing! We, moms and dads, need a moment of absolute down time. Even if it’s just sitting in the car {alone} with a cup of coffee. Ya, it might sound silly but I’m at peace right now. There is so much noise in my head in a typical day to make me want to scream! I’m a doer and I enjoy people. I am also my own worst enemy too. Learning to have self control over my to do list and my urge to do things for people has allowed me to rest. The older I get the more I value just a minute of peace and quiet. I hope tonight you can find a minute of quiet time. Put the kids to bed, forget about the dishes {they’ll be there tomorrow} and go flop on the couch and relax. It’s ok! You earned it!! Make you important! Put yourself on your to do list! No one benefits if you lose your peace and go all cra cra on someone all because you ran yourself too hard! Been there and done that 😛 it wasn’t pretty!! Take my advice…a little r and r works wonders!! 

Good night my friends!!
