The Beautiful Unknown

Most of the time what I think should get noticed goes far unnoticed. Every Mama can empathize with the tinge of pain when..no one sees the victories, the graces, the triumphs, those "aha' moments that just can't be retold.
No matter how big or small, it would be so nice to hear "well done".

When those longings for recognition come, I am so thankful for the voice of His Spirit.  "Isn't this the thrust of the gospel?  To be least?  Isn't that what I came to model for you?"
 
Motherhood...an opportunity to be least.

I dodge little feet from hitting the computer screen. Sweet bouncy giggles. Gentle hugs.  Squinty-eyed smiles. I am reminded of the sweet reward which only comes from being least.

I remember the prayer...the prayer of a Mama's heart..."Lord, I want them to see YOU, not me.  Make me invisible.  No more Heather, no more self...just YOU, just your beauty!"

 How grateful I am for how He reminds me.  Just a whisper...gentle words that mean so much...
"Slow down...Rest in me...Be least..."

Today, I choose to stop rushing, slow down and enjoy the beauty...rest in His sweet presence...and be least!  No more fear of making a name for myself, no more "What will they think of me?"...just Him!


Fearless:  Today, instead of getting mad over hurtful words, I choose to give them to my Daddy (Abba Father).  Instead of fearing that I will not be vindicated, I choose to allow Him to take the pain and give me His reassurance.  I am fully His...resting in His love...the fear disappears...

Listen Up...

At the Discipleship Summit this year Jesus kept telling me in multiple ways to be a better listener... 1. He was a great listener! Isaiah 53-"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, but he did not say anything." 2. Most of the time when I talk, I regret what I said 3. It's a way to be a servant 4. I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

Joy in the Morning

“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭30:11-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Lord, You are the reason for my praise. Because You came near, I all able to be joyful, to sing praise. There are so many reasons to rejoice, and I’m so thankful for all that You do & how You continually come through for our church & our family. But, it’s You that I’m most grateful for. Your presence changes everything. You change my perspective & renew my vigor to press on today.  What a joy it is to homeschool! I’m so grateful for the call to be around my children all day! Thank you that I get to learn right alongside them. I get to relearn history & math, I get to teach reading right alongside them.  Oh, Jesus, You are my reason to rejoice. I am able to stay right where You planted me because You sustain, You give li...
