had to share

well, even though i said i didn't want to finish my Breaking Free study, i did! and here's what i just had to share with you. i write in a prayer journal. and my prayer this morning started out like this: [copying straight from my journal... not something i'll do very often since these prayers are sacred and precious to me]
Lord God, You are creator of the heavens and the earth. Your timing is perfect. it is everything. so Lord, please be my strength as i wait on you... you are the EVERLASTING God. nothing surprises you, nothing is too difficult for you. You do not faint, You don't grow weary. help me to wait on You, and as i do, increase my strength that i might soar on wings like eagles.
and then i opened my last Breaking Free lesson, and you wouldn't believe the verse she asked us to look up and meditate on. i've made it pretty for you so it sticks in your mind. 




[feel free to print it out if you want, it's 5x7. just right click and save to your computer, then print]

and then, of course, the rest of the lesson was wonderful and meaningful and based on these verses. pretty sure God wanted to engrave this on my heart, since He prompted me to pray it out before i even opened my workbook for the last lesson. pretty sure He wants you to know it too :)


** if you want to print it, and it's looking a little blurry when you do, let me know. i'll email you a good, high resolution file :)

  3. I love when God connects things like that for us! When our wayward hearts become doubtful, He so lovingly reminds us that He's there!

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
