Thus far the Lord has helped me

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, Thus far the Lord has helped us. (1 Samuel 7:12 NKJV) The above scripture really spoke to me today. Samuel used a stone to remind him. I thought about myself. Thus far the lord has surely helped me. What can I give to the lord because of his faithfulness. I believe that I should give him more of my trust. I should trust him more. I think I should turn over more control to him, even though God has the power to control everything, he allows us to give over control of our lives to him. He does not just take it. We all have a problem wanting to be in control.

Weaving it together

Our lives are a bunch of strands that god has already weaved together to accomplish his perfect plan. MuY husband and I just bought a new house. There is so drying very uncommon about what took place with this beautiful home. As we spent days and weeks here some things started to unravel about what god had done. First we get this beautiful home. The people who "lived" seem to have impeccable taste in decor and the house is so clean. It is like walking through a model home. Once we buy the house, the people want to sell everything in it instead of taking it with them. We basically moved into a home thAt was fully decorated from top to bottom. We actually figured the people living here had brought in a custom decorator. But as time has passed another story has begun to unfold about this home. This home was built in 2007. It is fairly new and I believe the couple was here with their teenage daughter for at least 4 years. It is funny because I am not really the detective...

The need to blog

When I started this blog, it was suppose to be "my space". My specifically, my therapeutic space.I very seldomky give myself this time. I do my devotional and rush off to start my day. Without this space I often time neglect the deep reflection I need to keep things in perspective. It is very easy to loose yourself in motherhood when u have alike one home with u. Yet I know Noah is exactly where she is suppose to be. My devotional time with God has been rich and full of wisdom, strength and peace. God is helping me to know what I need and when I need it. As a mom and wife u cannot get caught up in thinking that u need certain things all time. I try to stY away from advice that says things like " I need 1 day a month to myself". While I do think there are those time where you need that "me time". I think we are all different and I also think God let's u known what u need to be refreshed and how often we need it. By nature I think a lot of us ...
