One Heart - One Body - All Together!

Totally Terrific Tuesday - Alive

I know most of you follow Stellan's blog and I'm praising God for the miracle of his life once again. I am reminded how each day and moment is NOT our own. I am reminded how we must live as though there truly is no tomorrow. Not in a way that is pleasing to us but to further His kingdom doing His will. Hands together being the very heart of God.

Scott taught through Jonah last night - a little book with a HUGE message. Oh how we live like modern day Jonah's. We hear but we do not do or go - because we are comfortable and don't want to go where God says we must go. We put restrictions on our obedience to God. We love Him - willing to die for Him - but will we live for Him?

Is everything He did for us and still is doing for us - not worthy of us to become obedient doers of the word of God? If not, what is holding you back. Do you not trust Him? Do you not believe His plans are best for your life? Do you not believe He is who He says He is and there will come a day that you will stand before Him?

You see God right now is waiting for us to come alive in Christ. To die to ourselves and give Him all the heartbreak and brokenness we have in this life. Because friends He will take it - gladly. He is waiting for us to allow Him to bring the good into our lives. He is waiting to give us hope, peace, joy and His love abundantly! What is holding you back? Whatever it is...He can take it! He will take it.



Together holding hands - we can do the impossible and lead others to Him through our love for one another. Not by our comfort. By our walking in obedience to God and doing His will not our own. Today walk one step closer to Him and He will take 10 steps closer to you. Be blessed and know He is there waiting to bless you! He loves you no matter what! Forever n Ever n Always!

Monday Morning Reflections - Joy

Good Morning Children - the sounds of giggles and joy fill the air!


Is it - could it be - pancake Saturday? Comes from each one of them!


Our children live for this day - smiles for days in advance waiting to help Daddy prepare the mix, to measure, to add, to chop, to pour, to stir, and to watch.

Then they are off to wait as I begin to cover them in butter {vegan} and grade B syrup...cut and serve.

Their smiles tell the story and joy they are feeling as they sit down to enjoy the fruits of their labor. There is silence and sounds of "mmmmm...." from little mouths! Followed by "Thank You Daddy! These are the best pancakes yet!" Every week they feel this weeks are the best. Scott smiles from ear to ear and listening to the joy come from them makes the 1.5 hours of cooking worth every second! It is something our children will never forget and we pray they pass this weekend tradition onto their children. It is not even about the food for them - although our children LOVE LOVE LOVE to eat! It is about the joy in the process and time spent helping Daddy prepare what is before them.

Plates empty, bellies and hearts full!

This week we will celebrate Gabriel's 5th birthday (it is today), we will pray over a loved one beginning a new journey with their health, we will gather to read His word and sing praises and worship to the very God who brought us all together. We will wait to hear that Lilly has a court date! We will treasure our time together and hopefully I will be shooting our family portrait!


My heart is full Lord! My soul is rejoicing at the love filled to overflowing by You! My mind meditates upon the word in which You desire me to hear, see and do! My soul hungers and thirsts to see Your glory in my life! Thank You Father for this life - every day your mercies are new! Thank You for the grace You supply and the ways You teach me to walk in obedience!


Thank You Father for the gift of my precious husband and the joy he brings to our home!
