My Birthday Wish

-
     My birthday wish is always the same every year and I am not afraid to share it, because I do not believe in magic or luck.;) I do believe in the power of prayer, miracles, and that God's word and Spirit are alive and active in my life, so I will share my "wish", which is more like a prayer. It is this: "To do God's will to the fullest extent, no matter the cost and to know him more deeply this year than ever before." I hope that you will pray that over me as I pray it over myself. I am excited for another chance to live another year for the one who gave everything for me-Jesus Christ. My blessings are more than I could have dared to hope for and I am so thankful! This is my first birthday with TWO kids! Things are not always easy and the road to this birthday with two kids had trials, but I am so full of joy and thankful for all that He has done this year in my life! Evelyn is my biggest present this year! Birthdays make me reflective and  I love looking back and seeing the light of all of God's promises and truths that prove true in my life year after year. A perfect life is not what it takes to love life and be thankful for it, it is knowing the PERFECT ONE, Jesus, that makes life so worth living! Without him I might even overlook the blessings in my life and lose these precious moments to wishing for the next. Each year my life becomes a longer testimony of the faithfulness of the Lord. Not because I am always faithful, but because HE is and his grace is sufficient. I say," Lord I want to love you, I want to know you, I want to be a good mom, a good wife, love your word, and be like you!" and even though my spirit is willing, I cannot do it on my own and when I fall he does not condemn me. He offers me all that I need to get back up and keep going instead of living in shame and failure. Thank you, Lord for twenty six years! Help me to live fully for you however many years you have left for me here and for the promise that even after this life, I will live forever! I am closer to seeing you face to face than I ever have been...and that makes me glad. Getting older isn't so bad.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

"Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."

*Note: I only write these at obscure hours or like today in the middle of listening to baby einstein and stopping for spit up clean ups and every other little thing you can imagine babies might need, so please excuse me if there are run on sentences, grammar mistakes etc! :) One post takes me like 1,000 stops and starts haha! I am not trying to write a book, just thoughts as jumbled as they may be! *       A lot of times in life there is something on my mind that I think is "too small" to talk much to God about. If I am spending time in intercession, shouldn't I pray for something BIG? These "small" things tend to be like a hang nail though, something that hurts and I can't get off my mind. Stuff that affects me every single moment and that is on the top of my mind. I had a rare chance to sit before the Lord and worship by myself two days ago and had a wonderful moment hearing from Jesus. I turned on my apple tv youtube and listened to Hillsong for a brief

The Lord has brought me into the intro internship at the perfect timing! Not only has it given me immediate friends that are believers from all stages of life, but has already transformed the way I used to interact with God. I've always known salvation is not works based, but so many times I've known that in my head, but not lived it out in my heart. I tried to be a good church girl, someone God could really be pleased with and when I messed up (which was everyday in one way or another) I would feel too ashamed to run to him wholeheartedly. I thought ok I need to go read my Bible or do a good deed really quick before I try to really talk to the Lord. Then I could feel ok to come into his presence, because then he could be happy with me. The truth is my most righteous moment is as filthy rags to the Holy Lord God Almighty! We not only have salvation by grace, but his delight over us is also by grace! He literally looks down at me during my worst moment with the same love and del

I have seriously been trying to write a blog for almost a month now and I can never seem to find a time. I love facebook and the fact it takes me under a minute to post a pic and say whats going on in our life that day. Blogging is another story.
