WORD-FILLED WEDNESDAY

Recently, I have been frustrated with a lot of things. I am sorry one say to one of them has been my husband. Disappointments and silent resentments crept into my heart. We sat down one night and I shared that I felt I carried too much of the load in our family. That is the short story:) He offered to do a few additonal things and then he asked me a question. "How much do you pray for me a day?" I told him the honest truth--- not really at all. Maybe a quick 30 second prayer here or there. Since then, I have purposed to pray at least 10 minutes a day for my husband. And, EVERYTHING has changed- mostly in me!!! My husband is so wonderful, so helpful, but my heart kept me from seeing that. I have felt the wall in my heart and between us crumble as I pray for him daily!

I wanted to share what God is doing in my heart lately! Thank you also for your patience as I am writing less during this season. I welcome any ideas on how you ladies find the time to manage home, life, and, writing:) Lately, it has been a major struggle and I continue to pray for the help to balance it all. Blessings today!

WORD-FILLED WEDNESDAY

A LAVISH LOVE

I love to see my husband interact with our children. He loves them unconditionally, perfectly, and whole-heartedly. When I stop and think about how God loves us, I can't understand. Then, I remember how we love our children. They came from us, belong to us, mirror us, and are expressions of what is right, pure, and hopeful. We want our children to be protected and to have the best that life offers. Then, I understand a little more how God feels about us. Then, I think of how it would feel to be separated from our children and to not be able to hold them, talk to them, and get to know them. Once more I realize the unimaginable heartache that God must feel for His children that don't know Him personally. And, I pray that He would break my heart for those today- that I may cross their path and be used of Him to remind them- that they do have a Father that loves them, who showed His amazing love through Jesus Christ, His Son.

I rejoice with those of you who know this lavish love and pray God would use you, too, to reconcile those who belong with their Father.

He stills the storms around me, within me, and is my Hiding place. I love Psalm 107 and the beach picture reminds me of God's faithfulness and goodness.

Here you see my daddy and my son, two of my most favorite blessings and my favorite place, the beach! I pray your day is filled with God's touch and love. Please stop by AmyDeane's Blog for more words and images and consider joining her"Word-Filled-Wednesday" meme.

WOW! I got this picture from photo bucket, because the size of the anchor amazed me. A few days ago I was walking in the woods and praying about how I felt like so much in me and around me was shaky. I felt the Lord remind me that He is my anchor. He keeps me steady. He keeps me still. My faith in Him anchors me. We move Saturday, so I am excited about that. I pray that whatever is going on in your life, you will find yourself anchored by the unmovable, wonderful, and never-changing... the Lord, Jesus Christ.
