Still Small Voice

As I think about the last 2.5 years since having the girls and what a whirl wind it has been. I mean there were days/weeks that are just a blur with two babies and a toddler.

I visited with a new mom with 6 week old twins yesterday, I so remember those days where you are just surviving. I hoped that I could give her some hope and encouragement that she is doing a great job and things will get more manageable.

 God has defiantly put a passion in my heart to give back to other moms in my similar situation. Everyone is on there own journey with different struggles and challenges, with a very similar goal.

Nothing compares to that still small voice that you hear, when you are lest expecting it. One afternoon I was just watching Charlotte play and in that moment God spoke to my soul  " I don't make mistakes"

This word was powerful for me because in the craziness of life I need to be reminded that He is in control and He has not given me more than I can handle. It all comes down to trust, just because I cannot see the rainbow doesn't mean it isn't there.  His promises are true, He is in control of all the little details of life. 

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

 So, even on the toughest days when I feel like I question everything. When I am tired  physically, emotional, and spiritually,  I am reminded that He is in control. He had a plan for Liam, Charlotte and Evenly long before they were even a glimmer in my eye. The responsibility is so great, but He is faithful and I am on a race that I will finish with my children by my side. Nothing is more difficult or rewarding than training up a child in the way that they should go. 

 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:7

I encourage you to take a moment and listen, What is He speaking to you?
In the quite moments are when we are truly changed and renewed. Don't miss out on what God has for you.

 This is our mid morning activity

Evelyn is my earlier riser, so by 9 she is pretty tired. She usually just lays around with her "mimi"

Mr. Liam is busy studying his Lego guide on how to build a spaceship.

Fill my heart with LOVE

Remembering today that what is in my heart projects through my words, no matter what I am saying. 
 As a Mom it's easy to caught up in the busyness of the day/week and at times feel frustration of the moment creeping up and over take me.

I have been dealing with mean Mom syndrome and feel that no matter what I say it isn't coming out in love. Of course this is not what I want so, today I am humbled and confronted with that little tug on my heart reminding me that God wants his children to speak and act in love. 

  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Ephesians 4:15

Lord bring me back to your side and teach me to walk in your love, show me how to step forward in your will. That your life and love will pour out of me and into my little angles, teach me so that I can be more like you.

Spring is coming..

Knowing that spring is coming brings hope for tomorrow!
We had a busy weekend, and we enjoyed the sun and warmer temps on Sunday. The kids loved the stream running through the backyard.
