Captivated

So, I am sitting here today feeling a little accomplished thinking about the chores I have managed to get done (while still needing to do more) I look upon my sleeping angel and his little body is so still and peaceful. I think to myself- blessed, richly. There is so much more I want to accomplish in this life but at the same time there is a part of me at ease. It brings my heart great joy each time I can serve my family and see a smile on each face. Sometimes I get lost in the day to day activities and the to-do lists but I really long to remember that now is the best time in my life and that any ideal future or situation pales in comparison to this. Each day is another opportunity to be captivated by God's glory and see Him in a new light.

The River of Change

Life is ever changing like a river and only God knows where the paths lead. Do you ever follow one liquid ripple all the way down until its distance is more than your human eye can see? It parts the way as it flows around a heavy rock, burdened. The river has no time for complacency and is always moving rapidly. We rush through each day and do we ever rest? Is precious time ever taken to embrace the glory of our Creator? As our river of change travels downward, other sources add to our energy. God being the greatest source of strength, then family, flow into our lives bringing some simplicity to our difficult journey through life. As we press forward, the joy of God's pure love seeps into our lives just as the water sources join the river. We can begin to see the light and destination for our existence. This life is just the journey, not the ultimate fulfillment. After the rain subsides, there is always the promise of a rainbow. If at the end of the longest river, there is a glorious waterfall, It is as unique and different as the winding paths of life.

Grateful

I am learning more and more day by day praying hard for God to provide new business opportunities. Building a business from the ground up is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am so thankful for all He has given. I am thankful for the growth that He has brought about it me. I love my family who has been so helpful and hopeful in this adventure and most of all, my husband who has supported me each step of the way and believed in me completely. I love you, Joshua. You are the other half of my soul. To my little, precious Isaiah, you are my heart and the most precious gift from God. I am doing this all for you in hopes to provide for your future. Together you guys are my heart and soul, truly.
