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...

Little Lessons in Faith

Last weekend, Jason and I had the privilege to go and work with a missionary who is beginning a church plant in the states. He has been a missionary for many years and has planted five churches in five countries throughout his ministry. I made a late decision in the week to travel with Jason so I really began the trip by scurrying around to make sure I had all I needed packed. We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary. My husband replies (for at the least the fifth time) “I don’t know honey, he said he would tell us when we get closer.” I smile and try not to stress, as I am planner and when a trip is involved I have it ALL planned weeks before! True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
