Thanksgiving Vacay Day 3

Today we made it to Jacksonville, FL and spent a fun night with the cousins, Hannah & Emma, Uncle Jon & Aunt Aimee. It’s such a blessing to be around family!

Psalm 21(Heather’s paraphrase)-
How I rejoice in your strength, O LORD!       
I shout with joy because you give me victory. 
For you have given me my heart’s desire;       
you have withheld nothing I requested...

You have endowed me with eternal blessings       
and given me the joy of your presence.

Thank you, Father, for giving me victory over strongholds & over the enemy of my soul. Thank you for continually giving me my heart’s desires. I see my children falling more in love with you and loving each other, and, you know this is my heart’s desire for them & for us all! I praise you for the joy of your presence! Oh what joy comes from being yours, being known by You, getting to know your heart! I cried out to You tonight, asking you to heal Nate’s back. Now, I wait and trust you. You see the pain he’s in and I trust You to move.

Listen Up...

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...

The B-I-B-L-E Yes That's the Book For Me!

Yesterday, after much bickering and breaking up fights I said to the kids, "We really need to sit down and read our Bible together.  We need to hear from the Lord!"  The sounds that followed ripped me to the core..."Awww!" "Do we have to?" "I don't like reading the Bible!"  I wanted to scream in anger about how they never seem to make those sounds when we sit down to watch a movie, but I didn't, I just started reading.  Zeke was the only one scrambling to get to my lap and hear the story. Afterwards, I let the kids go play and I just sat in the Popasan chair feeling dejected, like a terrible mother. "Lord, you promised to pour out your Spirit on my children!  What is happening?  I am failing you...failing them!  You have to do something" I brought them all back into the sun room for a light lecture.  Haha...yeah, if that's possible! "Guys, I have one main job as a mother and that is to teach you the Word of God....
