In the Quiet.....

O Lord, the scripture says, "there is a time for silence & a time for speech." Savior, teach me the silence of humility, the silence of wisdom, the silence of love, the silence of perfection, the silence that speaks without words, the silence of faith. Lord, teach me to silence my own heart that I may listen to gentle movement of the Holy Spirit within me and sense the depths which are of God.            ~German Prayer

I love this prayer. It speaks volumes to my heart. I am reminded of Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God."

In 1 Kings 19 scripture tells us that Elijah didn't hear God in the wind, in the earthquake, or in the fire, but in a still, small voice. Yes, a still small voice. That same voice that is heard through the silence of my own heart. Sometimes our outside influences can be a distraction to us but we must remember that a quiet heart is an attentive heart.

"Sew" Much Fun

Sierra has been enjoying sewing classes again this summer. Thanks, Mrs. Debbie. The girls have been making some really cute things & they have been inspired to sew things on their own at home. Each week when we meet they have a little show & tell about what they are working on at home. For class each week they all bring their sewing machines, fabric, & any supplies they need. They get to make their project from start to finish & take it home that day. I think Sierra has really developed a love for sewing & has made so many fun memories with friends.

Thirsty?

As a deer longs for a stream of cool water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for you, the living God. When can I go and worship in your presence?     ~Psalm 42: 1-2  


Our thirst for God is his gift to us to help draw us daily into the power of his presence!

Oh, that this would be my heart's desire to be led each day to drink from the Living Water...that He alone sustains me.

Have you ever seen this lived out?!

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.    Colossians 3:23 & 24

I can say that I truly have....and yet aren't we all called to do this? Thanking the Lord for a loved one's devotion to another. An inheritance will be waiting for sure!

Resting in His faithfulness today.....

White Christmas

It truly was a white Christmas here. The snow started falling late Christmas Day & on into the night. We woke up to a winter wonderland of white! We all grabbed our coats, hats, & mittens & headed outdoors for a little fun in the snow!
