Spring has sprung in January.

So my tulip and daffodil bulbs have been pushing up through the ground for a couple weeks now. It has been oddly warm here...but I'm not complaining. Not only has spring arrived somewhat early here...it has finally arrived in my heart. My soul has been in a winter frost for what seems like years. I am grateful, humbled and amazed.
I have been reminded recently that God never forgets a promise. Sometimes we think He has forgotten...no..HE is wanting us to WAIT. AAAAGH!! Waiting..the part of life we hate and love. Nothing is on time...but premature isn't healthy either. So..yes, His timing is worth waiting for.
My life has changed alot over the past few months...it's incredible. The passion, desire and yearning for God to come in close and to change me has arrived. Not that I have arrived...far from it, just that He has. What a welcomed guest..stay as long as You will. Change doesn't come without some discomfort...but man I would rather be uncomfortable than to remain the way I am any longer than I have to.
To some of you this may all sound vague...but speaking the details too early...I can't, yet.
I am excited that He will complete the work that He has begun.

Living in His presence.

You know those moments when you are in a worship service or alone in your prayer closet and God shows up. His presence fills the room. My friends and I were trying to explain to eachother how we sensed it. It is so different for everyone but one said it felt like a hug with a luxurious blanket. Another friend said she feels like her feet aren't touching the ground. For me it's the air that smells different, the air is thinner..it's easier to breathe, yet it takes your breath away.
I can pinpoint moments like that in my life, can you? I want more than those random connect the dot moments. I desire to live there, daily, moment by moment as I wash clothes and wipe Lily's nose. I know that God is with me...but I want, I need to have that intimate friendship, love relationship. I want His name on my lips from the moment I awake to when I go to sleep at night. I want to wake up and go to bed in presence.

Our Nest

This is the home that God has provided for us.
We recently celebrated our 3rd anniversary of living in this house.
We have been in TN for 4yrs.

our method in the maddness

So the reason for this second blog maybe only for theraputic purposes. An outlet to get out all that is accumulating in this brain of mine. You will be informed of what is going on in our lives besides our goregous daughter. Prayer requests and praise reports. Updates of what God is doing in our lives.
