How precious each day!!

So while I was out of town ministering this week on a Heart-quest with no phone service, my son, Hunter was in a very bad car accident and walked away unharmed although his car was totaled. A girl was speeding and t-boned him in the side. He spun a 360 and then a 180 degree turn as his drive chain fell to the ground. This was his God jeep that Father had given to him, that had been a specific prayer request. I am so thankful for the place Father has brought me to since the death of my precious mom. The only thing that mattered to me was Hunter's life; God spared my son and gave him another day to fulfill the purposes and plans that Father has for him. You see the car...didn't matter, because God has it covered. It didn't even phase me, I just voiced a prayer thanking God for His next provision. Mom died almost 7 years ago; the greatest gift God gave me through her life is knowing what is really important. Whether it be one of her dishes broken, spilled juice on the floor, something lost, etc. doesn't hold much value anymore. Eternity is what matters. Time with those you love, and being Jesus to the lost counts or have I been an encouragement and brought life to those around me. One more day, He proved himself faithful and one more time I sit back and realize how precious is each day!! So tomorrow before the day slips away and the world rushes in again, be still and know that He is God and there is none above Him.

Trust not fear

Today as I was sitting at Starbucks sharing a cup of coffee with my friend; Father begin to speak to me about trust instead of fear. That cup of coffee might be why I am still awake! So let me share my moment. I have been struggling with my children leaving home and longing for my mother to be alive to share this season with me. Rachel and her husband just moved to California and Hunter leaves in 6 weeks for college. Why the struggle when we have been preparing them for this day?? In all the emotion of it all, somewhere I started putting my trust in them. Would they find the right jobs and housing, or make the right choices? Would they continue to run hard after Him and not make the same mistakes we made as young adults, etc.? Today He reminded me that they are HIS! Would I give them back and trust HIM! You see they are human and just might mess up, and I have to trust that, "He will work all things out for good to those that love Him" Romans 8:28 They love Him! I couldn't ask for anything greater! So today they are back on the altar and I trust the One who has plans to prosper them and give them a hope and a future!

So I go to bed with joy and peace knowing that their Heavenly Father loves them so much more than me and He is trustworthy!! Yes, I will still continue to wear holes in my jeans on the floor in prayer. That is the greatest gift I can give them as they leave home and try their wings! Fly children fly!

The beginning

Writing is not my cup of tea........but it is something that I felt prompted to do a while back! So here I begin to share my heart, what I am hearing, things I have learned, and my life as a mother, wife and friend. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and share a moment with me!
