Quotes to live by...

Father, can you hear me??

We ask God to answer our questions. We seek a response to our daily request...
We wonder why things haven't changed or why our desires have not been met.
I wonder if God asks the same question...daughter can YOU hear ME? Son are you there?
See God speaks to us too. He directs us, leads us & desires a response from us too. So the next time you wanna know "Father, are you listening" make sure you have responded to all of God's request to you. "Stop that, move here, turn that off, talk to me, ignore negativity, seek my face, open your Bible, trust me!"
These are just a few of the  things God may be speaking into our spirits...think about it.
Love you all :-)

Trusting Him

I remember when I entered college my mother was worried. She always kept me and my brother safe and now she felt as if she had no way to ensure I would be okay. She managed it well but deep inside she was stressed. One day she called me and told me she just had to let God be God and trust that he would cover and protect me. Let me tell you, He did way more than that! But this just reminds me that we have to return to God what HE has entrusted in our care for so long, whether it is a child, a talent, a business, etc. We have to trust and believe in HIM! He gave my mother 18 years to prove He was in control and when time came for her to let me go, she had to turn to the faith she developed over all those years and put it into action. He never failed, why would He start now? We can’t be bottle fed everyday of our lives. We have to grow into being able to handle solid food. Let go of fear, the unfamiliar, and trust in the only One who has always been faithful! Love you :-)

Spousal support

As I look at Gabrielle Giffords' speech at the DNC last night. I think of how good people suffer horrible tragedies. That is a sad truth of life but I also think about her husband Mark Kelly who has been by her side the entire time  God bless them & their agape love. That's true love, that's the marriage commitment. It reminds me that we may have an ideal man we desire. Maybe even a check list but what we need is God's direction for who are spouse is to be. We look at what we want in a spouse today God knows what you'll need 16 years from now and everyday up until then. Trust God to bring you the love you need, not just the love you think you want. Be blessed my loves!
