Feeling Blessed and THANKFUL




Lord,
THANK YOU!
Today at MOTTTs I had the privilege to be in the presence of some really amazing women.  They are mothers who love You and daily rely on Your strength.  They are fighters who unconditionally love their children and pray for them...despite rough mornings and nights.   They are grace-filled servants who create and develop a love for You in their daily tasks.  
Lord, 
THANK YOU!
I also had the opportunity to pray with and for them, all 40+ mothers in the room.  Some are full of praise, some are grieving, some anxious, some hurting, and some are truly needing a miracle!  But I KNOW You are GOD and I KNOW You hear our prayers!
Lord,
THANK YOU!
I came home, and forced myself to my knees... because I have been ungrateful at times.  And that breaks Your heart.  In the presence of other women, other mothers who are struggling and seeking Your wisdom, I was able to breathe new perspective in me.  And for that...
THANK YOU!

NO WAY!!!




WHAT???
It's November?
What happened to October?
I've been so out of the loop that I confess... it's hard to get back into things.  
I've been blessed with an amazing sense of God's peace lately.  
I know I should be stressed, 
sleep deprived, 
and lacking contentment at the sight of 2 VERY energetic and "picky" children.  
However, I've recently been blessed with a not-so-NEW and refreshing perspective:
GOD IS IN CONTROL!
Wait... that's nothing NEW, Helen!!
I know, I know...  in my head I've always known that God is in control of this entire universe.
Right?
But in the day-to-day life, it's easy to FORGET about the important and eternal things in life.
SO...  
I have no excuses for leaving things undone, 
or neglecting friends, 
or not blogging for almost an entire month.
But I am reminding myself daily that, regardless of what life brings my way, 
GOD IS IN CONTROL!

Until I blog again...
