Okay so here is my after the ROLE PLAY DAY experiment…

Being my daughter for the day was a good reminder of seeing things from her table top view…she spends about five hours in her school lessons..has piano practice, chores with animals and around the house and is the most tenderest caring daughter and sister!! It was good for both of us to recapture the compassion for one anothers role in our family also it reaffirmed that I love being a mom…feeling so blessed to be able to be here with them and be their teacher/youth leader. The days are filled with challenges and at times I want to cuddle up by the fireplace and cry!!..and well.. I do…I cry out to my father in heaven who brings me strength and courage to keep going! growing! knowing HIM in and through it all

Tomorrow…Matt’s “Dad” for the day…:0

Isaiah43:16-21This is what God says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves, The God who summons horses and chariots and armies— they lie down and then can’t get up; they’re snuffed out like so many candles: “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’ —the coyotes and the buzzards— Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sun-baked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose, the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me.

I’m writing this information not only to bring freedom to myself but to others.  Growing up I was told a lot that I was sarcastic just like my (other parent). Inside this was frustrating to my soul because I wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing. After many years of coping with pain emotionally, physically and mentally and seeking God for the answers that He is so faithful to give us when we seek Him with our whole hearts. God has shed some light on some otherwise disturbing remarks as to my character.  Everyone responds or reacts to pain in their own way and my personality or choice was to deflect with humor or a witty comment.  I really enjoy saying something that causes others to laugh.  Today I’m free from the deception the enemy was holding against me. I’m not who (my parent) said I was. I am God’s daughter and my worth comes from Him alone. Let’s pass the Truth on and be done with the lies.  God has made it very clear to me that I am witty! Thank you Father, I pray today blessings on those that curse me, reject me, abandon me and call themselves family. I will choose to obey your voice that brings healing ointment to my soul. Amen!!

“Wherever you are…Be there” is our families goal!

Whether it’s a widow in your neighborhood that needs yard care or a neighbor that could delight in conversation, a young person on city transportation you can speak life into and pray with or your very own family that you can show honor to in a way they need…be Love to them! For God is love and God lives in those he calls his own…so be available to love, to serve and to go out into the front yard with a heart full of love & helpfulness!! Of course Jesus didn’t hang out with those who hurt him but did speak words of truth in love to them! So to sum up my purpose for this exhortation is to encourage us all to…let God lead your life one footstep at a time!! Xo

At the risk of being judged I’m laying it all down…There are a lot of things in LIFE that we just don’t understand. Never will maybe. We have God to hold us and love us as we go through different paths in our lives. As Momma’s Day approaches this Sunday I lament over the relationships with the birth, in-law, step mother’s in my life…  All my life my heart has been to please and be good in the eyes of those over me…yet it has only fostered mistreatment and dishonor against me. Then one day it dawned on me that those relationships in my life that were destroying my soul and not nurturing were not honoring to my Father in Heaven, God. He is who I need to bring glory and honor to first. Of course I still honor my mothers I just will do it in a safe environment. Hoping that someday they will experience conviction and compassion from the Holy Spirit to repent and change direction. In the midst of the abandonment and rejection that fill my heart with sorrow like no other…I choose to pray for them, forgive and love them the best way I am able. Love is such a misinterpreted word…do I just go along to get along or do I keep my distance from a wild animal? Well I know that if one of my children were about to be “attacked” by a predator I would place my body between them and the destroyer. Also I’ve never met anyone who could hang out with a Lion or a Bear and live to tell about it.Thus real love would be to separate and protect. All of this honesty is to be real and say listen, I need prayer. My family needs prayer! As we walk with HIM and talk with HIM He is faithful to be our amazing daddy. I pray for all the moms and daughters in this big world to know that everyday that we are serving our family or our community…its momma’s day in God’s eyes. He is our mother/father…tender yet strong! He knows…he get’s ya…he is rooting for you…he loves hanging out with you…he isn’t finished with you yet…his heart is to keep making you all that he created you to be for His glory and your good…so hang in there! No the laundry won’t go away, the dishes either, neither the squabbles or grocery list…but he will send you kisses unexpectedtly and a note written of “mommy, i luv you”. I absolutely with every part of who I am LOVE being Andrew’s, Benjamin’s, Emma’s and Matt’s momma!! It is the most challenging privilege of my life…and I thank God everyday that I’m just God’s helper~here on earth to unfold these gift’s and enjoy watching over His kids. So amidst the showers of tears that flow from my heart as I let go of not having these relationships working out right now I choose to be thankful for who is in my life! The many amazing beautiful women God has let be in my life that have been a huge blessing…thank you!!!! (Lois C., Dolly H., Kathy S., and Pat W.) God Bless my beautiful mother…may you fill her up with all of YOU and just what she need’s today and especially on Mother’s Day!!:D To my mother in law and stepmom,  I pray that you would bless her heart and draw her close to you so that she sees that you are truly all she needs. I pray blessings on all of my friends who are mother’s or moms to be one day, like my little girl Emma! God you are the only one who can touch our hearts in ways that no one can and so today I look to you to cover us moms with a blanket of your love, sipping on your words like a hot cup of tea and crunching on your wisdom like a delicious cookie…in your name I pray, amen
