So I have a few blogs that I follow regularly. Brian would say I am stalking these people. I am really not. It is just interesting to read people's blogs and hear what is going on in their lives. Most of the blogs I read I will never meet these women. They live all over the country but we share some things in common. Trying to raise kids who love Jesus and trying to be the person God wants us to be. It is funny how God can use these people from who knows where to speak to me.
Paraphrased version of Philipians 4-7
Come to me with a thankful heart, so that you can enjoy my presence. This is the day that I have made. I want you to rejoice today, refusing to worry about tomorrow. Search for all that I have prepared for you, anticipating abundant blessings and accepting difficulties as they come. I can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on me. Come to me with all your needs, knowing that my glorious riches are a more than adequate supply. Stay in continual communication with me, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them. Present your requests to me with thanksgiving, and my peace, which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and mind.
This past week dealing with the smallest thing (it felt huge to me). This verse was my constant reminder not to worry. It was amazing how I felt peace that was WAY beyond me.
I love my kids and here is a random picture of Blake. Aly seems too grown up these days to make silly faces. Not exactly but Blake would rather make weird faces than be normal.
