Give Up Everything

                                      Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
                                                        Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
-Hillsong United Oceans 

If these are the most beautiful words perfectly phrased into a song, I don't know what is. These words put together are so powerful and moving it boggles my mind. I've never heard something so sweet that brought tears to my eyes. 

I've heard this song on the radio multiple times but this is that type of song that if you don't listen to it word by word it's only just a nice tune. But if you actually listen and put the words into meaning you will fully understand what the song says. 
It's putting all your trust into one person and never having that person let you down. It's loving some one so deeply that you are willing to give up everything for them. It's being some one you never imagined being to received the greatest present. It's loving the new person you have become so that you can love Him. 

God wants all of us. He wants every inch of our body, mind and soul; nothing left behind. Once we can give our whole self over to The Lord, that's when we will receive blessings beyond compare. Pouring your heart out to Christ doesn't just mean giving up a sin or two, but giving your life over to Him. Giving everything this world has given you and handing it over to God. It means trusting God with every move and decision you make in this life. It means letting God take control of your life. 

How great is that? How many people can say they can do that? Probably not much. But this is me saying I want to do that. I want to feel the power of God controlling my life. I don't want any more doubt, yet forever satisfaction knowing God will never fail me. As long as I put all my trust and hope in Him there is nothing I will ever need to worry about. 

To start, I know I have plenty to give up. Plenty to give up so that I can focus more on God. I need to make myself higher on my 'list' of to do's. I need to take better care of the body God has given me. I need to take better care of the mind God has given me to wonder. And mostly, I need to take care of the heart which God lives in. 
I know what it is that is holding me back. The do's and dont's I need to focus on more and less. With that, I will become a better Christian. I will become closer to God. I will become one with Christ. Nothing is greater than that. 

God take me where I could never imagine possible. 
Guide me to do things for you that I would of never been able to do without you. 
Push me to limits no human can go to 
So that my faith will be greater than ever. 
With you, I will do everything you have planned for me.
Amen.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
