I know I haven't posted in a loooong time. And well, it's not like I really have a following, but still I feel kind of guilty for not continuing something I started. I don't like that about myself, sometimes I have these grand ideas and then I don't always follow through. Anyway, that's not the point of this post.
I would just like to say that I am so incredibly overwhelmed by the love I feel from such an amazing, awesome, powerful heavenly Father that I have. There have been so many ups and downs, but it seems like no matter where I am I find so much peace in him. And I find so much peace in seeing how he works in our lives. Last weekend, Johnnie and I were blessed enough to go on the Marriage retreat put on by Stonewater. It was AMAZING! I feel so reconnected to Johnnie and I can really feel God's presence in our marriage. We were able to focus solely on each other and where God is and isn't in our marriage. I feel so refocused and I know that this life with this man and our amazing children will be okay just as long as we keep God as our core focus.
After I gave birth to Chloe, I really didn't think I wanted another child, not because I didn't want a child. It was just so tiring and scary to think of all the logistics. Timing, potty training, raising THREE, money, and everything else that comes with having another child. But now, almost halfway through my third pregnancy I feel so incredibly thankful that God has blessed us with another child at this time in our lives. Johnnie and I are closer than we have ever been and that is because we have both fallen deeply in love with our Savior and God. I feel honored that God has entrusted us with these three angels. And my sole desire and prayer as their mother is to raise them to know, honor, obey, and live for Jesus Christ. I pray that I can be a good example as a mother, wife, and follower of Christ. I thank and Praise God daily for these children. It is because of them that I have come to know and had the desire to know Christ even more. It’s amazing how much a child can impact your life.
On our way to school yesterday the kids and I were talking. We got there a little early so we had a few minutes to just be with each other and talk. Jacob asked if we could pray. With a lump in my throat I said, “of course.” I started the prayer “Heavenly Father, thank you for today…” and Jacob finished it with,” and thank you for our friends, and teachers, and school and doughnuts, and let us have a good day, in Jesus name, AMEN!” Then Chloe said her “May-men.’ It just lit up my day and made me so thankful for the ability to share Jesus Christ with my children at such a young age.
So, yes this love is overwhelming and I am so consumed by his love.
