Thoughtful Thurday

Last night was such a blessing. First off  it was mid-week service. Some weeks it is a race to get there, be prepared to teach, then stay late for choir practice. But I enjoy every minute of it. There have been countless times that I have went just in a foul mood and as soon as I let go and worshiped my Jesus all was right again. I'm telling you people there is no other God like him... the peace he gives is beyond words.

Any who, our children's ministry tries to put something together every Valentines day. Usually a fund raiser type thing. This year Pastor Sharon (asst. pastor and children's director) just didn't feel released about our usual, so she messaged everyone. She posed that we as individual classes would come up with our own message of LOVE. God's LOVE. So my wheels started turning. Because J and I are team leaders over Jr.High.

After some time in prayer and thought something came to mind. A drama. From the time I was nine years old I have had a love of drama, skits, dances. I remember my very first drama. It was Ray Boltz "Thank You" ... My best bud (Mel) and I

Mel is on the Left of me =) Click here to check out her blog! Trust me , she will crack you up!










were only 9 at the time and it has stayed with me ever since. We wrote it ourselves. I can still remember almost the whole thing =) I wish we had a video of it.

Back to the point... So I decided after talking with Josh and prayer to do a drama to the song "Your Love Oh Lord" by Third Day
 

It  is very simple but beautiful. So last night I showed the class, we were short a couple kids but the ones that were there caught on so WELL!! I'm confident that this is going to touch hearts. To be able to be apart of this part of ministry again just over joy's my heart. No one knows the desire that has been burning in my heart  to do this again. But I just felt I needed to wait. So even if this is where it stops and I don't do get to do drama's regular like I once did, thats OK. Because I'm SO thankful for this opportunity.

Just for kicks this is the Ray Boltz song...





What are waiting on? 

So happy blogging everyone!

One year ago today my life changed

One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
