About Me

What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galations 2:19-20

IT'S ABOUT TIME

Much to my disappointment, I did not stay true to any of my New Year's resolution. But, in my defense, I just wrote that last week. Or at least that is what it feels like. These past 5 months have flown by. I am already visioning Christmas at my door step. Where have the past few months gone? Oh, yes, I remember....It was spent working, cleaning, cooking, mommy world, and spent recovering from surgery. Thankfully God led me to a wonderful physician who finally found out what was going on. We are in a give and take relationship. I give him my body parts and he takes them.

God has given us many challenges this year but each and every one of them have helped us to grow together as a family. It has been fun. I look at my girls every day and thank God for the many blessings he has given us. Oh the things we take for granted. For instance, my furniture. I complain b/c I would love to have a large dining room table. But then a flood occurs and so many people are without a house. Forget table, they just want a bed. Back in January I read a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. This book gave me some true conviction. I am not perfect and do not claim to have changed my life in the past 4 months but I am praying every day for God to continue to change my heart and help me be happy with everything I have. Also to give me a true heart like his and a love like his. I pray to enjoy everyday with my family and take nothing for granted. For the God of this universe is so amazing large and yet he sees me and loves me. His creation is astonishing and I never want a day to go by w/o acknowledging it and thanking him.

A part of his creation are these 2 beautiful girls that he blessed me with. Thank you God for your never ending love! I have also put a few pictures of his creation.
