My Walk Monday

Posted on by Mary

I have a confession to make…the last few weeks have been most frustrating for me. I must confess I haven’t wanted to go to church…or maybe it wasn’t that I didn’t like church. Needless to say I have had a real change of heart this past week where I have desired to be a church. I have been hungry. not for food of the flesh but spiritual food. Food that truly satisfies the deepest hunger.

What a journey the last few months have been. It has been tough and draining in ALL facets of a persons life. But now I am beyond those heartaches and I am ready to lace up my running shoes and jump back into the race. Not the rat race so many others run but the race to finish well..to fight the good fight for the high calling…to hear well done though good and faithful servant. I have a new passion and a new zeal. My heart id filled with joy again and I am ready and willing to take the focus off of myself and put it where it belongs..My Lord and Savior..For all the things He has done for me…I am ready to serve again!

Joy In the Journey by Michael Card
This song has such special meaning for me….It was nine years ago this past July That i found myself in a communist country at the youthful age of nineteen…and I did not have my parents there with me.

A few months after returning home I received a video in the mail. It was our teams video and in it This song was there I had never heard it before but as the video scanned the beautiful country side and some moving moments with our students I knew I would never have this opportunity again…So here are the beautiful lyrics and a video!

JOY OF THE JOURNEY
By Micheal Card

There is a joy in the journey,

there's a light we can love on the way.

There is a wonder and wildness to life,

and freedom for those who obey.

All those who seek it shall find i

t,

a pardon for all who believe.

Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind

To all who've been born of the Spirit

and who share incarnation with him;

who belong to eternity, stranded in time,

and weary of struggling with sin.

Forget not the hope

that's before you,

and never stop counting the cost.

Remember the hopelessness when you were lost?

My Husband Rocks Friday

Posted on by Mary






This I why my husband rocks…..He absolutely loves doing crazy sweet things with our kids…Like building houses out of mattresses..ALL of them that are in our house..That is including ours in there somewhere. Yes that is a wardrobe and yes that is the ceiling and yes they are really that high…And they love every minute of it!!!

Daddy is superman in their eyes..And in mine too…Sometimes to a fault. I have to remind myself that he is only human…Who needs forts when you build such great houses!

Wait For it…Wait For It….
