God: Through the eyes of my 4 year old

"Mommy, you broke my heart by taking taking that candy away."
Me. "Baby, I am soo sorry about your sad heart."
"Mommy, don't say sorry a me. Fix it."
Me "Okay. How are we suppose to fix it?" .....thinking to myself, you are not getting that candy.
"You can pray at God. He can fix it.......with duct tape."

As a young mom, I am still a work in progress. God is sooo not done with me yet. I don't always say the right thing, talk in the right tone of voice, or always keep my cool. But, I do apologize when I mess up, I do my best to make ammends with my children, and I do my best to lead them to Christ. This mommy prays with her babies....in times of joy, times of sorrow, when we don't know what to do, when we have too much to do....we are sure to give thanks, we ask for forgiveness, definately ask for healing.....
Even when they don't fully understand what is going on, my children have communication with our Maker.
And they know that God has it all under control, expecially when mommy doesn't. 
And that to me, is way more important than always getting it right as a mommy.



It is our job as parents to raise our babies up in the Lord--to teach them to pray and to praise. This song makes me chuckle.

Music

Music is one way I connect with my maker.
I find the words that other people write often express better how I feel, than I ever could. It also can convey the mood better than simple written words can.
Because I feel this way, I will probably post music videos.



I am and always will be falling in love with my maker.

Seeking His Face

This is mostly a post from another blog of mine....
Which was really inspired me to start a second blog (this one), which I hope I find my self more disiplined in keeping up with.

Im going to start my "Praying the names of God" Devo Book again. 
Im excited. It was a Devo that got me all excited in my search for my Heavenly Father. I love learning about his characteristics. It is a task that helps mold me in his image. I long to be more Christ-like. I want to be a living Proverbs31 woman, a female David, some one my husband and friends are very proud to know and desire to be around. I want to be so lost in love with my maker that mimicing his behavior is all I can do. I want to have such an abundance of Joy in my Maker, in who I am because of what He has done, and in this life he has blessed me with that people want that Joy as well.


I really am quite new to this blogging business, despite attempting many times at my last blog. I hope to make this a place of inspiration for others. A place to like me, learn to seek the face of our maker. Hopefully my writing improves with time and I can figure out the many wigets that makes following a blog fun and easy.

Know that you are perfectly flawed the way
our maker intended.
