Here We Are

Here we are, on this earth, going through our daily lives. There are people who make obvious differences in the lives of others. And then there are the rest of us. Take me, for example. I'm a mom. I love being a mom. I have a wonderful husband who allows me to stay home and help ensure our two little ones grow up to be everything God has created them to be.

However, I am more than just a mom. I have a vision! A purpose. Some women are called to be moms and the title "Mom" brings them complete satisfaction & fulfillment.  These are the amazing women that take in other children--neighbors, friends of friends, hurting & lost youth. I honor these women who are following God's call to pour into the lives of so many young people. You are helping to reshape the nation with what your hands are busy doing! Thank you!

I reminded myself before getting married: "don't loose yourself in becoming 'wife'. You are still you. Don't stop doing those things that define who you are just because this new, amazing man & you are now sharing a life together." I remind myself of that again as we add children to out family. **Don't loose yourself**

Don't forget about the passions and the purpose that are deep-rooted on you heart, in your soul. They make up who you are. They are keys to what God has called you to do and how He has called you to serve Him! Yes, sometimes our dreams get put on hold for a while--like when raising infants and preschoolers--but allow the vision to simmer. Add water to your vision and dreams--don't let it burn! If it has burnt, don't through it away! Pray for refreshed vision & new hope. Ask God to remind you of who He has called you to be.


God, I am your servant here on earth. I know that you are in continual search for people who love you to do your work. Use me! Refresh my eyes to see what you see & stir my heart to love like you love. I worship you, God, with every breath that I take today. I choose joy. I see your creativity & beauty in so much around me. Thank you! Amen.
