Our eyes look expectantly to You...

Have you ever felt like you knew what God was telling you to do something...that He had essentially confirmed it, and then when the details become clear you have a, "seriously, God -- are-you-SURE-about-this-moment"?

This is where I was at the past week... I'm pretty sure God didn't allow details to be made clear beforehand so that I wouldn't duck and run, He knew I had to be committed to His plan first! Lol (:
So I was at that "freak out moment" and I asked God to please clarify again...because my heart is willing and my desire is to walk in the center of His will for our lives... I just want to be sure I'm on the right path!
Let me just encourage any of you who feel like you struggle with walking the daily road and feel like you are going over the same things again and again... God is so kind and merciful to speak to us when we ask and to encourage us again in our walk!
This was the first verse I saw when I opened my morning devotions! Incredible...


"The Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken." Genesis 21:1


It is mind-blowing that the God of the universe cares enough about ME to orchestrate events and send me just the right message at just the right time to encourage and motivate me!!


"Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." Psalm 62:8


"God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob." Genesis 50:24



"Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass." Joshua 21:45


"He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23


"Has he said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" Numbers 23:19


"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:8


After the reassurance of that morning I finished up with my evening devotions and these verses resonated with my soul, they were my responses to my Father's encouragement from the morning.



"The eyes of all look expectantly to You." Psalm 145:15


"And it will be said in that day: Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation." Isaiah 25:9



I am expectantly hopeful for what God is going to do in our lives - I will continue to seek God's will for our daily lives and walk in what He has told me to do, whether or not it makes sense to me! So thankful I have a heavenly Father who knows our future and is setting things in place to care for us.

Hiding in Jesus

Hiding in Jesus Today was a hard day, I start thinking I am doing okay and then unexpectedly the pain comes... Had a regular check-up for the baby today, and I felt that I was going to be okay, but when I walked into the office, the reality of how much my life is changing hit me and I broke down when the pediatrician walked into the exam room. Also today, I began the process of cleaning out my bedroom, removing a lot of the things that speak so loudly of Cj's presence - as we began pulling stuff out and I saw again how my life is changing, I found myself withdrawing and that now familiar ache spreading... I asked my sister to turn on my ipod and just shuffle my songs. Two songs came on, the first one which I haven't heard for probably 5 years at least! But these two songs were exactly what I needed to hear from my Savior and I was so blessed as His love spread into my hurting heart and again became that "balm of gilead" for me at that moment... I'm going to post a

Free falling...

As I continue on this journey, I find that it is the little things that are catching me off guard and causing the most pain... I think because I'm not prepared for them. The big things I am ready for and I am able to take a breath and kind of "shore up" my emotional safeguards in preparation. But, the little, unexpected events - like removing the empty soap dish from Cj's sink in our bathroom and realizing that I don't have to fill it again, or when his phone popped up a reminder to change the air filters monthly... these things remind me again of the reality that he is never coming back and waves of grief wash over me and the tears flow... This week has been full of this emotional roller coaster - add to that a fretful and clingy baby who is no longer sleeping at night, stress filled moments/days over Cj's transportation to Nigeria, some anxiety over situations that were out of my control but nevertheless counted as my responsibility and fault, trying to keep

Changes... Daring to Change

Have you ever felt like, in life, you were standing at the edge of a precipice about to take a plunge? That weird sense of nauseating excitement and nerves as you wonder what awaits if you dare to take “just a step”? The gut twisting, teeth clenching anxiety as you wonder what awaits... Have you ever stood at a crossroads, turning in slow, dizzying circles as you ponder which path to choose… understanding that whichever route you choose will bring uncertain futures – many good, perhaps many difficult and you try to weigh the costs without truly knowing what price they may require? Life is such a tangle of choices… sometimes I can’t trace the threads back to the one that led me to the point where I am standing now – at a crossroads, on a precipice, peering over the edge, feeling the wind whistle past, my heart skips a beat and my breath catches in my throat as I stare at the future looming… As a girl, I handed the reigns of my life over to the One whom my soul loves… my pr
