revelation......

Hello all!
Revelation is such a wonderful thing! Yesterday in church we sang a song called "Kiss of Heaven" and I was a mess!!! God just totally blessed me through this song. The chorus goes like this-
My Jesus, Dream Maker
My Jesus, Life Giver
I'm living under the Kiss of Heaven
And I'll never ever be the same again!


I realized while singing this that God has made all of my wildest dreams come true already! I may not be a millionaire or own the biggest house in town but I have an AMAZING husband and 3 wonderful healthy children! That is more that I ever imagined I would have. I really am living my dream!

Something I am learning is that there may be weeks where our finances are really low and we have things that we want and can't get them. But you know what, in the big picture of it all those little things don't matter. I can lay in bed at night and know that I am ok! I know that I live each day to the fullest and I don't waste one day! I enjoy my husband and my children EVERY day! And all of those moments that I watch my kids play or just lay in the floor and laugh with them until we can't breathe, those are the moments that matter! WHAT we eat doesn't matter, eating together is what matters! What we do doesn't matter as long as we are together!

If I can raise my children to realize this now, they will live a very fulfilled life! I have to make sure that it doesn't take them until they are 30 to GET IT!!!

I am so excited that God is dealing with me each and every day about these things in my life. I wake up each day with a desire to hear His voice and I am so in love with Him! I want to go to bed each night knowing I will never be the same again because I have listened to His voice that day and gotten closer to Him! You know, that is what we are working towards, getting closer and closer to Him until we see Him face to face in Heaven! And if we make an effort to do this, then every aspect of our lives will line up with Him and fall right into place. And He will flow out of us and we will reach others for Him. And that is what is the most important, not keeping Him to ourselves. Getting filled up and sharing the gospel with those who need hope!

So my words of wisdom for today are:
Don't seek His hands, seek His face! So many times we(and I say we because I am talking to myself too) ask God for things and we don't spend enough time just loving Him. Love Him today and seek His face. It will transform your whole day!!!

So true, so true. There are days it literally scares me how fast time is going. Here Jordan and Noelle are, seven and four, and it has absolutely flown by, and that is time I can never get back. I can look back on it, but never go back to it. I agree that it is so important to instill these things in our children. We don't want them to be this far into their lives before they learn these lessons. We want to be sure they have the knowledge, the heart knowledge, before they are faced with the storms of life. Thanks for all of your wise words to me today. Life can be really scary, but thank God that He loves us and is taking care of us.
