Sweet

Found this on another blog (Cup of Jo). When I grow up I want a swing in my house. There is nothing like the easy going task of swinging.

Summer is a comin

There is nothing like the freedom of summer. You are in between school years, and have a new fresh start to look forward to. In the mean time you soak up as much of the freedom as possible with work and school and of course the fun things like friends, training for cross, family, church events, beach, God's voice, and having a whole summer to hear about the man you love's wild adventures in Costa Rica. I can not wait! 3 finals and I am there...

Worship


I enjoy singing so much, but I can never open my eyes or I get so nervous.

Its like I close my eyes and go inside this little bubble where its just me and him...Its perfect.

He calms me down and says "just sing to me like you do every morning when you blare those songs with your windows rolled up and pour out your heart". Then I am confident.

I sing like no one is listening and I get so much emotion inside that I can not keep my hands down. I get so excited I just have all this energy and passion and I want to explode and its like I stop thinking about singing and its just this moment where I feel like any moment my savior is going to walk in the room. He is there and I can feel him and my body bounces with his excitement. Literally. I can not stop moving. Sometimes this excitement gets so overwhelming I can not even bring these words to my lips. I just sit there with my eyes closed and my smile comes and I feel his presence. This is worship. I feel so available and that for maybe that instance I am there next to his throne. He is sitting as I tell him how truly amazing his love is. He tells me I am his and he loves me. What a wonderful savior we are able to worship.

Then I open my eyes, and I am back in this life. It is like he gives me these moments to remind me that for now I am serving his purpose here until reach his kingdom. I am his hands and feet for now, this is hard, but I adore this.

God is preparing me for something big I know it...I just do not know what but I am ready and I am listening...I am ready to live extravagant for him

Preach the Gospel. And when necessary, use words

Nella

God creates these stories that sometimes we do not understand what he is doing. We struggle with trusting, but slowly we are all learning.

Someone showed me this story because they knew my infatuation with blogs, specifically baby blogs. This story may bring you some tears, but its beautiful. If you want to know what pure raw motherly love is, read Nella's Story. She is beautiful and sweet and her Mamma is amazing as well.

God is good. I can not wait to love even more children one day then are already in my life. It is like I can not get enough. Thanks God for this passion.
