Out of my MIND!

Marking out a new adventure for Matisyn this weekend.  Praying that we have given her the wisdom and resources that she needs to keep her on the path that God has marked out for her.  Beginning to plan for summer and putting activities on the calendar I begin to wonder if I have lost my mind.  Praying for wisdom to know when to offer opportunities to my family and then when to just rest and let God open the doors for learning and working on the areas of our heart that need to be pruned.  So what will summer hold for all of us??  Only God knows.  I know the activities and places I would like to encounter but will remember that His plans for me are marked out.  Lead us all Father and allow us to shine for you in this crazy time of year.

And she is off

Been spending time looking through old photos of mati as we prepare for her graduation from high school. I love this one as it shows her free spirit and her "drive". Flying down the dirt road with no fear of what is to come seem to be something she can do well. Oh how I hope she keeps that spirit and then also learns to rely on the wisdom from Gods word. My prayer for her is that she will live out Gods plan for her with the same boldness that she had the day she raced down the dirt road.

The color of the balloon.

Reading the chapter in the travelers gift today about Anne frank. Key words that God brought to my attention were self control, choice, gratefulness, and difference. She comments on greatness does not care what a person looks like or what sex they are. Our choices of what we read, watch, who we talk to and our actions make us great or not great.
How is this related to Gods words?
We chose to accept Jesus as our lord and savior and then we out filled with His presence. He then can direct our thoughts actions and choices but only if we listen and obey. I am only great when I chose to allow greatness of Jesus to rule my everyday choices.
Lord shine so bright that I see only you. Let me eyes be focused on your greatness and let my choices o the day reflect who YOU are and not how I used to be.

Fragile

My heart has come into collision with the reality of how fragile life is. What has always been a seeming simple task turned into a life threatening event last night. Turns me to my God and see life the way he describes it. We are truly blown by the wind. One moment to the next my life and those around me can change. I am so thankful for his saving grace and to know that Makenzi is held by his loving hands. That her life is no longer her own but that she has commuted her heart to Jesus. A comfort and joy. Father thank you for creating us all as fragile so that we turn to you when we are being "blown in the wind".
