When can I stop being patient........?

Real Talk.....

I'm laughing writing this tonight as I think about how absolutely obnoxious it is when I tell my boys I will get them something and my voice is followed by a trail of "When momma?" "Is it time now?" "Why is it taking sooooooo long?" All with the added bonus of WHINING....................If I am able to say I hate something, whining followed by impatience would be my top things I LOATHE!

But have you ever stopped to think about how we sound to God?

God promises something amazing in our life.....We are beyond thrilled and "prepared" to be patient because Hey, if He said it, He meant it.
A week goes by and all hell breaks loose in the circumstances surrounding your breakthrough, but you are patient knowing He spoke to your spirit.

A month goes by things settle but still no promise, still holding fast.......

A year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 ......... Ummmm God? Are you even seeing what's going on? Did I hear you? Did you mean to speak that promise to someone else? I could really use that promise right about now or better yet 10 years ago.....When can I stop being patient and just receive this promise already????? The whining begins.....


I would be absolutely lying if I said I haven't been there and thought to myself, "Did I just miss it?"

Right now, this very moment, I have many unfulfilled promises. Some I know it's not the right season, others were delayed because things in my mind and heart needed to line up BUT what about the ones that are so close you can taste it......It's like when Thanksgiving dinner has been cooking all day and you have fasted to be able to devour every morsel you possibly can, so 1 pm comes and dinner is at 7pm you've been patiently waiting, biding your time, but man the fragrant aromas coming from the kitchen have invading your entire being and you start asking, is it done? Can I just have a taste? Do we have burnt pieces that you set aside? Anything?
Get the picture?

We hear from God and get weary in the waiting. We strive to contently and with hope wait and know that He who promised will bring that promise to completion but sometimes we just can't wait any longer. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?

ok ok bible time....

Isaiah 40:31
We quote it, sing it, pray it, speak it out BUT do we really get it?

They that WAIT; Hebrew word Qavah means to expect; gather together; look patiently for; wait for or upon

They will be renewed in their strength to wait, they will run and not grow weary; walk and not faint.

So why do we get tired and impatient and sometimes downright grumpy and whiny?

Because when we don't make the conscious decision to shutdown, distraction; this includes time, words, actions, feelings, thoughts, hurts etc that are contrary to the promise we start to allow a small amount of doubt in and the more distraction you allow the more doubt creeps in.

Patience is a fruit of the spirit. The fruit of the spirit isn't like the gifts,It isn't given as He wills. Why do I say this because the fruit of the spirit is simply that, fruit it is a by product of your relationship and time with God in His word and presence. Someone said to me one time, "If you ask God for patience He'll give you a room full of sick people." Get it? Patients/Patience 😏😏 Guess what I NEVER did after that? Yep, this genius didn't pray for it, in fact I didn't pray for most of the fruit to be active in my life out of fear, another blog for another day......... My point is patience is a vital fruit without patience we can't fully operate in faith. Without patience we try and eat the burnt scraps. Without patience we will miss out on some of the most incredible things that God has for us.

I'll say this..... I have 3 wild.....I mean wonderful, little boys and I'll never forget from the moment of finding out I was pregnant with each one, I couldn't to find out what I was having and then I couldn't wait to hold those sweet babies. But as any mom can attest to that last month is like 1 year and then finally the day comes and although we're excited, the journey isn't quite over, there is LABOR!!!!!! That's not a picnic, I've had amazing labors and deliveries but they were still work, exhausting, hard and painful work. It all leads up to the promise being placed in your arms at the end. You forget about the time it took, the hurt, pain etc nothing in that moment matters.
That's what happens when you are patient to the end, you receive the beautiful, glorious promise that nobody can take away. You don't get it too early and never too late, when you are patient and just trust!!!!

Perfect biblical example read the story of Jacob and Esau found in Genesis 25:29-34

Don't Lose Hope

I hear the song by Journey ringing in my ears, reminding me to keep believing. Now you hear it too...sorry or you're welcome! Either way I want to talk about HOPE, DREAMS and FULFILLMENT.

The Message Bible says it this way, "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heart sick...."  We've all had dreams and hopes, desires and plans that we know run deeper than just some foolish wishing upon a star. Dreamers have been deemed flighty and foolish, but to be honest where would we be without hopes and dreams?

Look at Joseph the ULTIMATE biblical example of "The Dreamer". He dreamed so much he had a gift to interpret dreams. He was beaten, sold as a slave, lied about thrown into prison and out of his continuance to trust in that one original dream and DARE to keep the hope alive that one day it would happen, he became Pharaoh's right hand man! Through his hope in that dream he saved a nation and his very own family, who started the trickle effect of what seemed to be his downfall, but set him up for victory.

Now let's look at Noah. God told Noah, "Build an ark, I'm bringing a flood and all the animals will come 2 by 2 to this floating zoo." (Yes, I had to rhyme 😂) Noah could have argued and stopped believing when people mocked him, called him crazy and all that nonsense but he kept the hope alive, that what God promised He would do, He would come through.

Then the final biblical example, lady and gentlemen, give a hand for the Father of Faith.......Abraham!!!!!!

Romans 4:18 says, Abraham, who had no hope, yet in hope he trusted the promise of God that he would be the father of not a village, city or even one nation, but the father of many nations. Okay so let's look at this story deeper.....Sarah couldn't get pregnant she was not only old but also barren. She wanted to have hope but as the years ticked on she was starting to wonder what she missed and maybe God needed her help with this promise. What does she do, she says, "yeah, I believe God is always true and faithful but let me help Him out since there's clearly no way He would fulfill this promise through my dead body." She sends the maid to Abraham, they make a baby, Sarah gets jealous sends her away and once again left with no baby and now a stepson from the maid......AWKWARD!!!!! Sarah had what Proverbs calls "deferred hope", unrelenting disappointment. So God had to come down Himself with angels and remind them of the promise and now put a date on it. BADA BING BADA BOOM.......Here comes Isaac "Laughter" Yep, I'd be laughing too Sarah, laughing because I foolishly allowed the hope for my promise to wane.

You know sometimes I look at some of the things God has promised me, big things, huge things and in the moment I get that vision from Him, I'm excited. I mean there is nothing or no one that could deter me from His promises then comes LIFE. Job loss, huge argument with your spouse, one of your kids acting like they will never serve God and the list goes on of unrelenting disappointment. You go to God and ask for a fresh word, "Inspire Me", "Motivate Me" "Do something to MAKE me trust You in this...." Ha Ha Ha it sounds so foolish writing that but we do it all the time, at least I've been guilty of it. The funniest part is I get the same response, peace and just the patient reminder that it's coming. Very few times have a gone to God and ask for a fresh vision in the same promise that I've actually gotten one. Why? Because if I need a motivation outside of the original promise because I don't see it right away I'M NOT LIVING BY FAITH......Faith takes that original word and stirs itself up with the word of God. "I know I don't see it but this is what He said and I am confident that what He promised He will bring it to pass. I will wait patiently and confidently for it Lord and I just thank you for the promise being fulfilled in my life."

What is it that you have in your heart? What dream or hope have you forgotten about or stopped going after because you think it's too late or yeah but I've gone a different way?

How many times has your spouse, kids, bank acct, friends, family etc distracted you or shown you the opposite of what God has promised?

Just because you don't see it happening in the way or time frame you wanted doesn't mean it can't or won't. The times you make a 100 page list on how it will happen, God is planning it out on page 101. His ways are higher and thoughts are higher, that means no matter how smart you are God loves to surprise His kids and do it His way and in a way you thought completely impossible or never would have even thought of.

So my friend do NOT give up on what God has spoken! If He said it, rest assured He will do it and you can sit back and rest in His perfect peace and watch that promise unfold before your very eyes and in front of all those who mocked you.

In the comments declare that dream so I can stand in Faith with you and watch God do it! Don't be afraid that if it doesn't happened you'll be embarrassed, it's His promise not yours and He is NEVER embarrassed because He always follows through!

Unveiled Faces

Before you start reading this, I want you to STOP.....Take 10 seconds and look in a mirror. Go ahead, I'll wait...……

Done? Now let's talk. 

Who did you see when you looked in the mirror? We obviously try to either put the mirror down quickly, fix our hair or sigh at the imperfections we see. Some of us smile and are amazed at how on point our makeup looks, love our fresh new hairstyle and giggle with excitement over what we see. But who are we truly? Do we spend too much time on the outside and who others see? Do we constantly question our identity? Am I just a wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, grandma, ETC? Or am I something more?

Genesis 1 tells us that we are made in God's image, His likeness, a reflection of who He is. WOW....We were made to reflect who He is! Let that sink in a minute. Now we were not made to be gods but we are made to be the spitting image of the Father. 

I have 3 boys, all unique in how they act and look but there is something that everyone can see, these kids are brothers and it's not just outward. You see each of my boys, as unique as they are reflect different personality traits (good or bad lol) of my husband or myself. They were made in the image and likeness of the two of us. To go even further something deep inside us as parents tells us when something is wrong, someone is lying, or when someone is about to get hurt, we just know. Call it instincts or whatever but that is the very same thing with God the Father and us. 

Now I know we are talking about identity but to truly understand identity we must know where it comes from. Our physical outward identity as we know comes from our mother and father and all those in their family line, yes even the inherited flaws we try to hide or even change.

Our personality however, comes from many outside sources. What we were told by someone, what we saw or heard on TV or the sneakiest of all, a lie from the devil. Yep even a lie from the devil is an outside source because we are NOT His creation so He can't legally step inside unless we give access (another topic for another day) 

We have been so programmed to this physical realm we forget that we are FIRST a spirit being. God formed us from dirt and BREATHED THE BREATH OF LIFE into us.

 Without that breath we are just lumps of clay, statues, a shell. Our shell isn't our full identity it's only the suit to keep our spirit on the earth. God designed our spirit FIRST and then created our outward form to be able to do the purpose of the spirit on the earth.

I know guys this is some crazy stuff to think about but your spirit is who you truly are!

That's exciting news that means that no matter how painted and chiseled we are on the outside it doesn't reflect the image of God, that's our spirit's job and that can ONLY be done by first receiving Jesus as our Lord and Savior and daily renewing our minds so we can be transformed.

2 Corinthians 3:14-18

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. ¹⁵ But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. ¹⁶ Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

That passage says it ALL!!!! Without Jesus we are blind to who we are, but when we receive Him as Lord the veil is lifted and we can see who we really are as we become transformed to look more like Him.

What a relief to know that I'm NOT who the world says I am, I am not who people tried to make me be or even the lies of the enemy I believed for many many years, I am who God says I am. I want to share a personal story as I know many can relate and probably felt the same fear and shame I did to even share about it.

This story starts when I was around 12 or so but I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm standing in the hallway at my house and looking into the long mirror we had. It wasn't unlike any other day that I had stopped to look at myself and make silly poses or faces but today something was different, my thoughts felt different. As I stood there I had a thought, "Wow, I'm not that pretty of a girl. I wonder if I was supposed to be a boy?" I shrugged it off and walked away but just like most images the person I saw staring back was burned into my mind and I thought would never leave. Now my dad out of anger had said things like, "My mom was right boys are easier and I wish you would have been one." Not knowing that those words would shape my identity and open a door for the thought to be planted and stick. Now I am not going to tell you I lived as a boy or had extreme gender confusion, I will say however this lie would be watered by the world. Lead me to be involved in things I would immediately feel shame and guilt over. Something was wrong with me. No matter what I did, no matter how many sermons I heard or how many times I did things for God I would constantly struggle with thoughts of wanting to be accepted and hoping I would find myself. It wasn't until a failed marriage and many years of frustration and shame that I finally told my now husband about that day in the mirror and as I spoke it out loud, I realized something that would set me free. 

That thought was NEVER mine! 

I had carried the fear, shame and condemnation of this lie for so long and allowed it to shape who I was.....BROKEN!

When I started digging into God's word and seeing Him as the Father who had made me who I was for a reason and what His purpose was for me and His thoughts towards me I was FOREVER changed. I don't care what the enemy thinks about me.....he hates me. I don't care what people think about me, they will NEVER know me the way my Papa does. I could be at my worst and He still tells me how beautiful and amazing I am to Him. 

My story helps me see people differently and see that it doesn't start with just choosing to sin it starts with a seed and what we do and who we listen to waters that seed and it will bring a harvest of whatever we nurture. As I write this I am in tears knowing there is someone out there with a similar story and maybe you still carry that lie and hurt. But let me just say this truth, "You are NEVER too far gone." You were made in His image no matter the false image you might have right now, your identity will never be true until you ask the Creator who He created you to be. 

I will end with this. Imagine you go into an art museum and see you a group of people debating over this piece. The piece is different shapes and colors, strange angles and looks like nothing you've seen before. Some are arguing it's a picture of strength, some say sadness and others are convinced it's a depiction of the artist's life. The crowd is getting louder and louder and then suddenly they stop they turn to see the artist walking up. Instead of asking him first, frustrated they whisper amongst themselves knowing they know exactly what the art is all about. They are simply waiting to say, "Ah ha, I knew it." The artist doesn't say a word, he simply picks up the piece and throws it away. They all turn around, shocked. They see the masterpiece revealed, a mirror titled, "Perfection." You see the piece in front was only a cover for the actual masterpiece hidden behind.

Here's the basics:
1. Only the Creator knows the true identity of the creation. To learn it you must know Him
2. We are not who we see in the mirror or what people say we are, we are perfectly designed and made either male or female on purpose
3. The enemy can use things or people around us to plants lies that seem true
4. The ONLY way to be who you truly are is to know Jesus and return to His image and Likeness

Becoming Super MOM

I know, I know I already hear the sighs and the clicking of the mouse to get off this post. The tired moms (ME), the single moms, working moms, stay at home moms, military moms and all the moms in between.

But what actually makes a Super mom, a Super mom?

Sure we see the image of the full makeup and hair mom, baby on the hip, toddler smiling and cleaning his toys, all while the house is in perfect shape. We shrug as we look at our imperfections compared to her. I'll be the first to admit I was so embarrassed when I saw the mom posts of "look at how clean my house looks" (true story) or the mom who always looks put together and the kid is always in ironed matching clothes.

WHY COULDN'T I MEASURE UP???????

Let's be honest Mom life is HARD. No matter what your mom life looks like, it's work! Keeping tiny humans alive, happy and healthy while making sure the house doesn't look like Toys R US blew up. Then you add all the extra stuff:

• Cooking
• Grocery Shopping
• Laundry
• Showering alone once a week.....a month
• Homeschooling
• Sporting Events
• Combing everyone's hair (except for yours😂😭)
• and everything else that falls to us 

There's so much pressure to do this and that, to look like this and that but momma I'm unplugging the pressure cooker before you explode. Yep, while I'm at it, let's throw that thing away!!!!! 

I will never forget the countless times when I first became a mom and a few times after having each kid, just breaking down and crying hysterically feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and like a complete failure. I still have moments where I have to regroup and think of what and who makes me a Super Mom.

What?

The what is pretty simple. 

Sure I do dishes, cook, clean and all that fun stuff but my kids could live in a tent in the woods with mud all over them, eat wild berries and catch fish for dinner every night. They couldn't care less if I did all those things (I know because they don't want to do it and whine when I do it lol) 

You know what they want, ME! They want me to read books, watch them play a game, play hide and seek, sit with them, snuggle them and just be. That's my main job as a mom all the extra is just that, extra. 

How many times a day do we say, "Not right now I'm cleaning." or "Hold on, buddy, let me finish the laundry" I'm not saying these things aren't important or even that we shouldn't involve our kids in chores, I'm simply saying part of being a Super Mom is the time you spend with them just being  mom.

Who?

Now the obvious who that makes you a mom is your mini me(s) HOWEVER the best and only tried and true way to be a Super Mom without exploding is....you guess it.....Time with Jesus!

Colossians 3:23 says to do EVERYTHING as unto the Lord and NOT unto men.

 Now 2 things with this: First, we have to know who God wants us to be for ourselves, our spouse and our kids. We can't try and be what someone else is if that's not where we are in life and not what God has called us to be.....YOU WILL FAIL. You are created unique and differently than anyone else on this planet, no matter how similar you are to your best friend, you are YOU.
Second the only model of the perfect parent is your heavenly Father and He is also the only opinion of you that matters. That's right I said it, your pastor's wife doesn't have all the answers, your cousin with a football team doesn't know everything and most importantly you don't have all the answers. I can't tell you how many times I've felt like I failed my kids and got down on myself, but God NEVER looks at me through my mistakes but through the sacrifice of Jesus and that's how I need to see myself. Through His image of you and following His design for you and your family you can overcome ANY obstacle and be the most Powerful Momma on the Planet.

So we've talked about what makes you a Super Mom and who to turn to But "how do I do this?"

Here's the Basics...…

1. Sit down during some quiet time (mine is either naptime or after everyone is in bed for the night) Take a few minutes and ask the Holy Spirit to give a daily routine for your family. This will include chores, play time with kids, meal times, bath times etc
*This is ONLY an outline to help you stay on task NOT a rigorous task sheet.

2. Every morning wake up and ask the Lord to direct your day, give you the energy and time to get today's task done ( Matthew 6:34)

3. Know that it's ok to balance life, while you are doing dishes have the kids read a book, watch a movie or just sit and play ( I set a 10-15 minute and stop my chore when it goes off)
Chores that you know are going to take a long time, set a time you know the kids will be ok for longer than 10-15 mins and just focus through it and don't get frustrated if you have to stop and go back later. Also evaluate what truly needs to be done on a daily basis and what can be done maybe once a week or even month, DON'T TRY TO DO EVERYTHING EVERYDAY!

4. Enjoy your kids!!!!! You have the rest of your life when they are older and can help or out of the house to have an immaculate house. Focus on 10-15 minute increments of chores but make sure they are your main priority. 

You absolutely CAN be a Super Mom because that's what you were created to be, we just need to change our image of that Super Mom! God loves you, I love you and always remember to take a coffee break with Jesus!!!

Jesus, Me and a Good Ole Coffee Break

I absolutely LOVE the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning, noon or heck even at night! There's nothing like that first steamy sip that makes you feel like the world is mine for the taking....well, at least that's how it makes me feel.

That's right guys outside of my husband and kids only one thing is more important than that cup of coffee in the morning and that is spending time with Jesus.

Words can't even describe the excitement I have when I know it's time to grab my notebook, my coffee and my bible, head to the room and spend alone time with my Papa. 

There was a time I thought to myself, "How will I ever find time to spend with God?" I have 3 kids back to back. My boys would be turning 1 or just a few months shy of it and BOOM pregnant again. I nursed all of them until I got pregnant and my milk dried up, so that took more of my time and I had to prioritize sleep on top of everything else. There just seemed to be no time to be alone with my own thoughts much less making time for Jesus. I kept struggling in my faith and couldn't really hear God too clearly on anything because "I just didn't have time" All this came to a crashing halt when I realized that if I wanted my kids to live a God driven life something needed to change. I was tired of being grumpy and frustrated, just going to church and listening to sermons. I needed to go deeper and really know Him so I could tell them who He was.

I started praying, 

"God, I need time. If you can give me just 10 minutes a day, I'll spend it with you because I know in taking that time with you, I'll be recharged and able to finish the day strong."

It wasn't long before He answered and I was faithful with that 10 minutes. I'd ask, "What should I read? Do you want me to read, pray, worship, listen, what do you have for me today?" It wasn't long before that 10 minutes grew to 30 and grew to an hour. I would enjoy this time with Him so much I would do my dishes during lunchtime, eat quickly while they played after lunch and all of naptime I was spending time with Him. Then instead of watching a show at night I would get everyone down, eat, shower and head back to my prayer closet. I was having so much fun and growing so much.

You may be reading this and saying, "That's great for you but I work full time or my life is much busier than yours." It doesn't matter who you or how busy your life is there is always time if you just ASK the one who holds time in His hands. God longs to spend time with us, He gave Jesus not just for a ticket to heaven but for a relationship with you and I. To God, time with you is all that matters. Obviously He cares about all the details of your life, however He knows that the more time you spend with Him the quicker everything else can get done. Imagine, something that would take you all day could take you half the time because you are so in tuned with His voice, He gives you a way to do it quicker.

 Listen, I don't have all the solutions to every problem you face or have the ability to map out a daily routine for every single family but God does and He will if you ask Him to.

Just say this simple prayer to Him,

"God, thank you for this family you have given me. I know that taking time with You is more important than anything else I have going on. Right now I don't see where I have any extra time, so help me God to remove the things that are robbing me of time with you and give me just 10 minutes each day that I can spend quality alone time with You. I will be faithful with this time and give you full access, Holy Spirit to speak to me throughout the day and remind me of my promise. In Jesus name Amen!"

I can promise you that if you prayed that and you're faithful with your time with Him, He will give you more and you will flourish in your relationship with Him.



Here's the basics:

1. Have your notebook, bible, pen and anything you need for your alone time with Him already together and ready so you don't waste time looking for things you need.

2. If you are starting with 10 minutes don't try and do a full in depth bible study (that's what I did at first and wasn't getting very far) sometimes it's ok to just read through a chapter, ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate His word and give you insight as you read. This will enable you to get more of the word in you and He will be your study guide.

3. Always pray beforehand and just thank Him for giving you this time and stretching it.

4. Don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or something stopped your 10 minutes early just ask forgiveness and start over the next day.

5. Remember God isn't looking for anything but quality time with you. Just be you and enjoy your time with Him. This isn't a duty it's building a relationship

Who I am

👋Hello, Hola, and Welcome Y'all!!!!
It has been a while.... like 7 years while lol. But I am back and ready to get back in the wonderful world of blogging.

Let me start by telling you about myself and why I think what I write is important enough to be posted. 😎 I am a mom of 3 WILD and loving young men and a beautiful step daughter. A wife to a  super HOTT Bahamian hubby💕!!! We live in Florida where the sun never stops and we are about to fully join the homeschooling world. I have a passion for family and ministry and that will be what my blog is all about. Different mommy tips and tricks and different things the Lord puts on my heart to share.
So here goes......

I am not going to start from the part of where I was born and who my parents are because let's be honest..... WHO REALLY CARES? Am I right? I'm not famous or running for office so none of that really matters. I will start from the beginning of what makes me, well ME.

You will hear throughout my posts about me going to bible college or moving around being married, divorced and remarried but even that is not where the real story begins. My story begins when I decided to let the Holy Spirit lead my life. Okay okay let me back up just a smidge...... You see I had been saved as a kid, water baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit at a very young age. I knew God existed and "knew" how much He loved me, or so I thought.

But that realization didn't really come until when I became a MOM!!!!! Yep, that's right, that's when I really started hearing God's voice. Every time I thought, said or felt something towards my kids, I saw the reflection of Him towards me. When I would get frustrated over something I had told them over and over not to do because it was dangerous or how I felt when they would do something loving towards me or others or my favorite just watching them learn something new. You see God was using those moments to show me His love for me whether that love was to correct me or simply to comfort me, I started to see His love in a new light.

For so long I had seen God as a Master, a rough dad, who of course loved you because you were part of Him however He was ready to lay down the law when I messed up and didn't really involve Himself in my everyday life. WRONG, I was completely wrong. God didn't look at me as a disobedient servant ready to punish me or even just a friend that we greet in a grocery store but have no real relationship. God wanted to be my best friend, my papa, the lover of my soul, my healer, the one I run to in times of need or just because I want to sit and chat. Ha ha ha I know sounds crazy right?! But let's look at scripture.....(Romans 8:15-16) The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to Sonship and by Him we cry, "Abba, father." The Spirit Himself testified with our spirit that we are God's children."

Wow!!! What a perfect verse to express the relationship we can have with our heavenly Father!

Back to this story, I began to see this and walk in this. This love was drawing me to a deeper longing of knowing Him more for myself and to reflect Him to my children. I began to desire longer prayer time, more sermons on faith, love and who He is and the best desire was to become more intimate through His word. For so long I had wondered what I was missing. I knew God, Son and Holy Ghost, I knew how to press into His presence so why did He still feel so far away on a daily basis? Why did He seem to only visit during times of worship or prayer? Where was this relationship others talked about and was it actually real? I found out all these things my heart had wondered and all the questions I would continue to ask, all in a little book called the B.I.B.L.E. Yep that's right folks, the book that has been smuggled, passed along in secret, and the blood stained hands of those who sacrificed their lives for what the pages held. I had unlocked a mystery that was there all along. What was this love and passion that leaped off the pages of this book and into my heart?

I am so excited to share through this blog different things that the Holy Spirit has opened my eyes to and I now see in a different light. I don't have some new revelation knowledge because His word hasn't changed. What I do have is a different light on the subject of my Papa, who He is, how He loves and oh the amazing things He has for His kiddos!

Through these posts I will share my heart on mom life and how to take/make time for God all day everyday without sitting in your prayer closet and ignoring your family! Having a lifestyle of Christianity is so natural and exciting and the best part makes everyday life more enjoyable. Come join me in this journey and let's become better together.
