God even cares about the little things..

   God cares even about the little things. My niece just found Kai's baby bracelet in the driveway! It's solid gold, and I let him wear it once last year to a wedding because he wanted to be dressed like Daddy. He ended up taking it off and the car, handed it to me and I dropped it. It fell under the seat where I couldn't reach it, so I left it there until we got home. I forgot all about it until I saw the empty box in a drawer last week. I felt sick about it, so when Jay told me he was cleaning out his car a few days later, I told him I wanted to check for it. I searched every inch of that car floor to no avail and Jay even vacuumed after that. 

   I was pretty bummed as its special value wasn't due to it being a precious metal, but a precious gift from his grandparents to mark the day of his dedication. I prayed as I was looking for it and when I didn't find it I considered it a loss. But somehow, I can't even comprehend how, my niece found it in a crack in our driveway! I know we could sit here and discuss the possibilities of how/what happened.. but I am choosing to believe in divine intervention. I am thanking the Lord that what was lost is now found! 

   That is just how God is with us. Our value isn't in what we have done, or how we look, but because we are His creation. We are precious to Him, and because of that He cares deeply for us; He cares about the things we care about whether big or small. So whatever it is you are praying for today, that thing or that person you care so much about.. or maybe it's for healing, or a break through.. know that He sees you, He's listening, and He cares as much as you. Keep on pressing in! 

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.- 1 John 5:14

Alive in Christ or Dead in the Tomb?

    I feel like I sometimes over complicate the heart of the Gospel. I try and find fancy ways to explain it or give "Christianese" answers with words I sometimes don't completely grasp the meaning of. While journaling I started focusing on 2 Corinthians 5:14-21.      For the love of Christ control us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose on their behalf. Therefore from now on we recognize no one by the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not cou...

He is Close to the Brokenhearted

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.- Psalm 34:18   I have tried to write a blog for the past two weeks but the words seem to elude me. I am still struggling with taming my thoughts in to something intelligible.Without spelling out every detail, November 11th my brother lost his best friend and wife, my 3 young nieces (12, 8 and 8 months) lost their mother and our entire family lost a very precious and beautiful person. My sister-in-law was the only sister I ever knew and she meant a lot to me. She was someone I trusted with my kids. She was someone who I could talk to and joke with. She was a fun person to be around. She was healthy. She was only 31 years old. In the matter of an hour, she was gone from this earth.    I have lost loved ones in my life before. But never have I felt quite this way. I never felt grief in the form of a physical hurt. The first night she was gone, I rocked my youngest niece to sleep and pain j...

Focus Your Faith

   “ Sometimes life feels so fragmented that I cannot connect feelings to situations. I sure am grateful to know who holds all the pieces and that He will put them together in a way that will one day make sense again. Not my way, but yours oh God.” April 28, 2017   This status showed up in my Facebook memories today and it took me back to probably one of the hardest times we ever went through. We lost my sister in law suddenly that November before. There was a custody battle for my niece. My mother in law was declining in her fight with cancer and my dad was declining at that moment with an unknown sickness. I was taking care of my dad (who thankfully only lived downstairs), homeschooling a 9 year old, taking care of a 2 year old and working part time. All the while trying to provide emotional support to my mom who was helping my brother with his girls.  Jay was working 50+ hours and usually heading to see his mom after work. If my mom was home to stay with my Da...
