What’s In Your Purse?

I read a post “here" that led me "here"---

That post inspired me to do this post; What’s in your purse? So, I will show you guys my purse and what is in it and hope that you will do the same. It’s a fun little game—so let’s keep it going.

So, here is my purse:

And here is what is in it:

From the top:

Sunglasses, Wallet

Wal-Mart Receipt from today, Tylenol, Prilosec OTC (you will notice a stomach trend here in a minute), Crackers my grandmother left in my purse last week, Hand Sanitizer I bought from Wal-Mart today when I got raw chicken juice on my hands, Imodium

Hubby’s Pen (don’t tell him), Blow-Pop, Listerine Tooth Whitening Pen, Candy from Vet’s Office, Watkins Business Card, Heart Medication

Empty gum wrappers, Empty gum packet, Lipstick, Tums (notice the tummy trend yet?), lipgloss, a dime and two pennies, one earring (didn't realize I lost one until just now) and my cell phone.

So girlies, if you have a blog, link me “what’s in your purse” in the comment section.

Have Fun!!

Where the heart is

I don’t really know where my mind has been lately. It has not been connected to my heart---I do know that. The passions and activities that bring so much joy to my soul have taken a back seat lately.

So while I regroup, pray, go through what I am going through and learn to lean more on God and not myself---I pray you are patient with me as I back off on my postings for a while.

I need to get back to what’s most important in my life!

Mind, Body, and Soul

Dear God-

Please bless mommy and daddy- Hunter and Seth- Aunt Rachel and Jessie- Grandma and Granddaddy and Uncle Mykee. Please forgive us of our sins and let it not rain tomorrow. Please keep us safe. I love you God and I love you Jesus, Amen.

This was my nieces prayer the other night as we were preparing for bed. After an hour and a half conversation about Heaven and our Mansions. After assuring her that God does not keep a tally on our sins. (She said she is afraid she wont go to Heaven because she fears she has more x’s than checks) After telling her that as long as she believes in Jesus and God and asks Him to come in to her heart—as long as she seeks forgiveness for her sins…then God will most certainly forgive her and then forget it. After all of these things poured from her heart and mine, I really started to think.

Why am I so hard on myself? Why is it so easy for me to believe that the forgiveness she seeks from God will always be given to her and at times doubt myself? Why is it so easy for me to know for a fact her eternity will be with the Lord and sometimes question my standing with Him?

God convicted my heart that night and for several days after. He showed me that favoritism in not in His nature. What He will give to her, He will give to me and you. But I do know this:her faith is stronger than mine. All you have to do is tell her once, and she believes it.

I believe that is what God wants from us as adults, to become as children. I believe that because this is what He tells us… Matthew 18:3 “And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (NIV)

Are there times you struggle with your faith? How do you overcome that obstacle?

My Song for You!

Draw me closer to your heart. I want to see your face and feel your breath of everlasting life. To be enveloped in your Holy arms and feel hope alive; a secure peace. No pain, no tears, no confusion, no doubts.

Your hands catching the tears that fall. Your light illuminating my darkness. To receive your Spirit without interruption. Singing; Glory!

Glory to the King-Holy is the Lamb! Majestic and Worthy.

Draw me into your arms; peace singing melodies in my ear. Tearing down my insecurities. Emotions running deep within my soul. A fire burning within my heart to know you more.

Your eyes reflecting the love you have for me. Your smile portraying my worth in you. Seeing nothing else matters. Singing; Love!

Love is the King- Holy is the Lamb! Majestic and Worthy.

Beauty and Wonder; all of Creation Yours. Your child am I. Hold me Father and fill my void. Trusting you more and singing; Praise!

Praise to the King- Holy is the Lamb! Majestic and Worthy.

Congrats!

a step back

This weekend I took some time out and enjoyed my family and the beauty of Nature. My niece and nephews were with us for the weekend. I set aside one on one time with each of them. My purpose was to spend quality time capturing the beauty of their individuality. No set props, no specific clothing, no special attention to hair detail or shoes. Just their natural beauty---so I grabbed the camera and here are my favorite pictures of each of them!

~The oldest~

~ The Middle~

~The Youngest~

Actually, my favorite of her is below---but you cant see her pretty eyes in it.

Here are all three

Next, I took a walk around my home and captured the beauty of God’s creation. When you take the time to look, that beauty is EVERY where. His majesty is displayed.

 

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Today, I encourage you to take a walk around your yard or neighborhood and absorb all the beauty God has given us. Kneel down and study the bloom of a flower. Look in the trees at the birds. See what you can discover.

I’m Dreaming Of…
