While You Were Sleeping

December 21, 2018December 21, 2018

A song that I have had on repeat and just can’t stop listening to with much conviction is, “While You Were Sleeping” by Casting Crowns. This song has me stepping bac, every time I listen to it asking myself, “What position does Christ have in my life? Do I only have space for Him when I want? Do I live my life like He IS my everything?”

Is there room for Him IN my life? And…do I make room?

I’m leaving this short and sweet because I want you to listen to this song twice. Once to just get the words starting to turn over in your head and then another time to let the message really soak in. It is powerful and I’ll be honest, 9 times out of 10 I get choked up, often with tears. I want my life to be a life lived in trust and true devotion to Him – every minute of my every day.

A $586 Trend

I think I’ve got my head in the sand. I was reading an update from The Culture Translator (if you don’t receive their emails, I highly recommend them), that this year, parents are spending roughly $586 per child, according to the New York Post.

5 Ways To Talk About God With A Toddler

It has been one of the greatest privileges I have been given – the opportunity to teach my child about God. I am in awe, everyday, of how often I see God in Mazy. How often I see God working in the littlest of details! Toddlers pick up on things so quickly. They hear EVERY…

In The Stillness…

Random thought (as if I don’t already have enough of those)……… Have you ever thought about what you learn about life in the stillness? This afternoon Dan and I were sitting in the same room. He fell asleep and I was crocheting. I found myself just looking at him and thinking my oh my, how…

Yes, Lord

The past few days, I have been clinging to Psalm 71:14 which says, “As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. “ Now that we are a week away from admission for my bone marrow transplant, I can feel the fight building up in me. I can feel…

Giving Thanks For 2020

Have you ever thanked God for THIS year? I mean, truly. Are you thankful for all that God has done in 2020? I know you’re probably thinking, how in the world can we be thankful for the coronavirus? How can we be thankful for the division that is happening in our country? How in the…

Worth The Wait

GOD’S plans are worth the wait. If someone told me that I would give birth, I would have laughed. In fact, I probably would’ve cried because why would anyone tease me with that idea? If someone told me that I would have our first child at 31, I would have laughed. In fact, I probably…
