O Taste and See!

Psalm 34:8
"O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him."

Can you taste it? Can you see it? Can you really taste and see that the Lord is good? Can you look through all the yuck in life and see that the Lord really is good?

This verse has been playing in my heart for a couple of weeks now. I am so very thankful that I can taste and see that the Lord is good. No matter what! He isn't just good when the checking account is full, when no one is sick and we all have new clothes. He is good when the checking account is empty, we are in pain and the kids pants are too short. He is ALWAYS good. His goodness isn't limited to temporal things. As a matter of fact, his goodness reigns in the spiritual blessings more than the temporal.

 Just last week, our family had a very specific need, a need that we could in no way meet ourselves. I can honestly say the Lord was so good to me in spiritual blessings that I did not fret or worry over the very real practical need we had. He was letting me taste and see that HE IS GOOD, no matter the weather. 

 In just four days the practical need was met above and beyond what I could have imagined. I started this blog post days before the need was met, I started it and just couldn't get any words for how to finish it. What a sweet taste of my Father's goodness it is to be able to finish this post with a practical answer to prayer as well as spiritual. I truly serve a good God, can you taste and see it? 

 Psalm 119:103
"How sweet are they words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth."

It's Real

A week ago today, my youngest son made the most important decision of his young life. He gave his heart and life to Jesus! As a parent, there is no greater joy than to see your child come to Jesus. I know there are some who don’t believe as I do, but I implore you not to stop reading this post. Please just read my account and allow my words to sink into your heart. Friday we decided to go to a campmeeting in NC for its final night to hear an aged man of God preach. I am going to be honest here and confess that I was really tired and considered staying home (thank God I did not). We arrived at the campground and immediately saw our former pastor (where we call our home church), I was so excited as I had not seen him in a quite a while and it was a treat to see him and his dear wife. As it turns out the tent was quite full and we had to sit separate, Jason sat in front of me and the kids with our home pastor and his wife. Throughout the service I recall looking over at Chan...

Fear is a Liar

Lately the nudge to write has grown but I have fought it because I'm not sure what to write. There are things rattling around internally I just don't know which ones to write about. This blog is an outlet for me in so many ways yet I let fear grip me and I stay silent. Fear is a real enemy. Fear can keep us from living, really living.  A situation came up recently where someone I care about said something that hurt. I know it wasn't meant to hurt, but it hurt anyway. Fear kept me silent. Fear kept me from telling this person that their words hurt. Fear brought anxiety. Fear threatened to hurt a strong relationship. I would love to say I eventually confronted this person and told them my heart, but fear won and I have yet to speak the words. Fear has kept me from fighting the insurance company so that I can get the decompression surgery I need. I am afraid of another surgery. Ach, there it is, the truth. I'd rather live in pain then go through another decompression. Fear...

Super Mom!

(I'm using an old pic today because I couldn't get a new one to upload~ugh computers)  As I sit and write this post I feel on the verge of screaming, crying and pulling out my hair.Yesterday was our first day back to school and our first day getting back on the potty training schedule. And everything went soooo smooth! The boys studied so hard and didn't complain even once. Addison went potty at least 5 times and actually seemed happy about it. I even baked homemade Pita Bread for lunch. Yesterday I felt like Super Mom!! Then I woke up today... It is early afternoon and my little one is napping and the boys are just finishing up school. And I just want to cry! Why? Well, let's just say today was not quite as smooth and I wasn't quite the Super Mom I felt like yesterday. School was a bit more stressful, more tests, more lessons in diagraming (so glad I'm not in 5th grade), more potty accidents, more papers lost, more messes made and so forth. Really, j...
