God is Moving

Sometimes I wonder how it can be that my heart just does not burst!!  The Fullness of God and all He does just fills my heart so much that it can not be contained!  Have you ever had something sooooo good that you just had to tell.  Something that no matter how hard you tried to keep it in, it couldn't be kept?  Oh that is how I feel about my Savior and the things of Him.  I believe that things are purposed and that our ways are not His ways.  Often we get caught up in the whys? or even the why not's?  We fail to understand why bad things happen to good people and we place blame, or worse, allow anger, pain, sorrow and hatred to fill our hearts in response to the lack of understanding.  This is the beginning of bitterness.  I've come from bitterness, I know what it is and have dwelt among it.  It stinks!  Getting angry at God for horrible things that have happened to ones I love because I failed to understand that His ways are not our ways.  God does not do horrible things.  I will fail miserably if asked to explain then why certain things happen.  I don't know why bad things happen to good people.  What I do know is that no matter how bad of a thing happens to however good of a person, God will always bring HIS glory to the table, if a person is willing to see it.  When I learned this truth, I got a vision I had not had before and that vision is so amazing!!  To understand that our Lord and Savior works in ways not of this world is the beginning of a perception that allows one to see His amazing love and mercy.  The result of this is praising Him through the storms with expectation in your heart and wonderful love wrapped around you!!   

God is forever moving!!  Oh this I have no doubt.  HIS WILL will prevail. 

So now to my praise report!!  

Long story short:  My cousin married in college, got pregnant, husband didn't want baby, she did, they divorced over it, baby born, he changed his mind and wanted to see baby, baby visitations given to him, he kidnapped baby and took to his home country of Iran.  Cousin distraught, search for baby, tried to get baby back, couldn't get baby out of Iran.  20 years pass, baby knows mothers name and searches for mother, baby contacts mother (my cousin) and mom and daughter are reunited.

This is the greatest of love stories to me, I just shared a long suffering story short.  This child was told her mother didn't want her and the US was a very bad place with mean people.  YET, God had planted the seed of love for her mother in her heart so many years ago that even lies could not keep it for struggling to grow.  She is twenty three now and desperately needed her mother because what God puts inside us is bigger and stronger and so undeniable that it will be put forth to produce.  Happiness does not even come close to what I'm feeling for my cousin and her daughter right now.  It's Gods presence and His healing and mending of these two hearts and lives that fills me up so much that I want to burst!!  He is moving!  He will show us His love and healing and mercy!  He hears us cry out in the darkest of times and knows our pain.  If we trust in HIM and reside in patience and praise, He will carry us through and those seeds HE plants will be forever growing in our life and those around us.

I just Love it when I'm blessed to witness God Moving!!  I encourage everyone to open your eyes, open your hearts and see God moving in and around your life!!  If you seek Him, you will find Him!!  It's His Promise!! 

Boom Chicka Wow Wow

Happy 4th Everyone!!  Love Monday Holidays!!  But what I'm learning is that I really don't know how to do "nothing".  WHAT??  When did this happen?  When I forget how to simply just do nothing?  Was it after my first child was born?  Not sure, can't remember back that far to be honest, but I can tell you that doing nothing is harder than it sounds.  I mean you have to sleep in for starters.  Exactly how do people re-program their internal clocks to do this randomly?  My success at this is 7am.  I want so badly to sleep till like 10 am or even shoot for noon!!  I mean after all my children are the most successful people I know at doing nothing and it comes so easily for them!! ha!  Then once you've slept in, you have to just lay there and turn on the idot box and watch nothing!  Some people get out of bed to do this on their couch....I've heard.  This is the do nothing schedule for the rest of the day with random trips to the kitchen to grab whatever doesn't take any effort to shove in your mouth.  I'm just not good at nothing.  I get restless and want to do SOMETHING!!  I used to be so good at nothing but somewhere along the way, all that talent for nothing disappeared and something just took over!!  CRAZY!!  Oh how I miss those nothing days and skills because now I have to figure out either how to do nothing today until this evening when I have something to do, or..............fail at doing nothing and get up and get my something going!!  ha!  Have a great 'NOTHING" day.
