Thank you JESUS for all that you have been teaching us!!!!!!!!

It is hard to summarize and journal about life when so much happens everyday. I guess I just really want to bring attention to all those God moments I have had in the past week. I cannot believe how people can go through life without HAVING to acknowledge the creator of the universe is ACTIVE in their life.

Let me give you testimony of how this has been true in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason and I spent the past five weeks as houseparents at Sunny Glen Childrens Home for the new home for mothers and children. We have quickly learned that GOD IS IN CONTROL and how much we need to rely on him EACH day. I thank God for this job...this life....because I am FORCED AND PRIVELEGED to give my every moment to him. The second I lose sight of GOD and his plan....I have to give it right back to him.

I am reminded of the Israelites. The Scriptures are so important to the JEWISH people because they are recordings of HOW EXACTLY God met His people, how He loved his people, how he rescued them, and carried them through...........Jewish children had to learn the scriptures not just for discipline sake but for heart sake......so that they would not forget what God had done and what GOD was able to do and what GOD always promises to do........isnt it all amazing.

So this week I write some of all the God happenings down so that I might remember His presence.....so if I am in another season of my life....I can look back and remember......

This week Lord I saw you in my son.....as he played and learned and explored and laughed in Houston during our time off.
This week Lord I saw you descend upon my household.....I saw you soften hearts before my very eyes.....I saw you break strongholds.....
I saw you Lord when I was talking to (Faith) and I told her that God had a special plan for her and her babies....and for the first time I think.....she took hold of that promise...
I saw you Lord protect us as we spoke with our girls....as emotions rose....and how you eased them......
I saw you Lord as you held (Hope) and conforted in her tears.....
I saw you Lord as you gave me the words to share.....to encourage people in their faith and in the work that you have called them to.....
I saw you at work Lord as 8 beautiful children came to Sunny Glen and I was able to touch their face.....and know how much love you had for them....I could feel it so strongly.
I saw you at work Lord when another young teen came to our home....and you gave her a new beginning...

I saw you at work in my heart...softening me.....I saw you at work Lord when you stripped my of my human sight and gave me spiritual eyes.....I saw you at work when you challenged me to be bold in faith.....

God you are at work everywhere....and I love when I am able to be aware of it all! You are amazing. I love you Lord. Thank you for your patience with me and all of us.

I thank you for my son. I thank you for my husband. I am amazed at what you have given me with those two in my life. They are such amazing blessings to me. I see Christopher's faith and belief in you.....The other day I bug got in my eye and he immediately bowed his head and prayer for me....laying his hand on me....and Jason has grown into such a great spiritual leader for our family......He really encourages me so much....he is so loving to me....

I thank you for our kids. I love (changed their names) Faith Hope and Joy.....My three daughters and their beautiful children.....

I cannot believe that you have allowed us to be mother, father, brother to these great kids.

Bless their little lives.

Keep us doing as you desire us to do. Let us never walk this journey without you lighting our path and guiding our lives....
