Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.

A hug.

I will take you just how you are. Jesus has covered up your sin. Just how your daughter's smile erases her disobedience. And you long to hug her tight. Wrapping her in your arms. Oh how I want to hug you. And hold you tight. I take you just how you are.

Pinned to the Floor

Oh Strong Willed Child, you thought you had me pinned to the floor, but no I win the wars. I fight for your freedom and future. I fight for you with all my might. 

You thought I loved your accomplishments more than your character. You thought the pain I would feel would break me. I must admit it was quite unbearable. You had me crying on the floor.

But my strength has been loaded back up again. My pride been crushed but the freshness of humility stands me back up again. 

See it was the remembrance that God picked me as your mother and you as my son. Together we will win this war. These trials are not just for you but for me too. Hand in hand we will win the fight for our souls. We are together in this war. 

We will win. We will win.

NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE, said to me how hard and painful parenting would be.

What do you lean your ladder of hope on?

Can anything satisfy you?

Perfection. How I want you but never can have you.

Days never happen as planned. Is that ok?

What does the word LIVE mean?

To be accepted.

He is always wrapping me.

Life hurts but God still heals.

What do you deep down at the core of your being desire?

The value of a prayer that has been prayed for 25 years.

Weather and forecasting is another way of God teaching us that we can't control or know the future.

Hold onto God.
