Dad's Excitement

My son just called and he was so excited that Kendra Lynn my little one year old grand daughter just said "I love you" for the first time. He called earlier today excited because she said I poo poo and had a dirty dipper. Oh the joys of parenthood. As I was listening to Nathan's excitement I thought about how God must feel the first time He hears us say "I love you" or "I poo poo" when we sin and He has to wipe us clean.
I am so blessed to have a Father God who loves me so much that He made a way for me to get clean before Him and to be privileged enough to say "I love you Daddy" and know that He loves me back. I bet He calls all the angles and tells them " guess what Cherylynn just said "I love you" to Me.
Kind of an exciting concept isn't it. It makes me think about Rahab a common prostitute and how excited God must have been when she turned her life over to Him, thanks to the spies being obedient to God. He was so excited that He made her part of His Sons family line.
Just a little thought for the day:
I believe that God is still going to the streets to find drug addicts, prostitutes, homeless, helpless people to show them the way to salvation. Without the spies, Rahab may never have known how to save herself. Who does God want you to share Him with? It could be a government official, prostitute, a banker,or a homeless teen. Be ready to tell others about Christ. God is preparing their heart right now to receive His message from you. I know for me, I don't want to miss a chance to be part of God's plan.

The Love Dare

I just got the book "The Love Dare" from the movie Fireproof. Today is the first day of the book and it is about being patient, Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

You would think that since you love your husband or wife, which ever the case may be, that it would be easy to have patience with them. It talks about love being built on two pillars which are patience and kindness. I so want to be patient with my wonderful husband and also be kind to him. It is so easy to lose sight of that especially in today's fast pace life.

I have always just ran my mouth without thinking and I don't always get the facts straight. I don't know if I just half listen to things people tell me or that I am just to lazy to try to remember the facts straight or that I just don't care to be accurate. I know this makes Harold nuts and I have been to self centered to try to change. For instants if something cost $5.30 I round up and tell him it is $6. This has caused a real problem for us. Well if I am going to be patient and kind to Harold I am going to have to make some changes in the way in which I react and act. I will have to take time to think before I speak and not react but make a choice to act in a Godly way. This is very important to the Father. He gave me a precious gift when He allowed me to marry Harold and I need to treat it as such.


I am excited about becoming the kind of wife God has for me to be. It is not going to be easy but it is going to be worth it. It is kind of like cleaning house, it is not alway fun but in the end it is so well worth all the effort that I put into it.

Oh yeah, my little Kendra Lynn is walking now and it is so cute to see her walk all over. She looks like she has been riding a horse to long but I think that is because of still being in dippers. She is a little ham to when I am taking pictures of her.



She was in the store today and picked up the little doll she is holding and Nathan and Bobbi was trying to figure out how to get it away from her without a lot if crying and these two little old ladies were in line at the check stand and they ask if they could buy the doll for Kendra Lynn. Bobbi did not want to hurt their feelings so she let them buy the doll for Kendra Lynn even though she has so many toys now there is no where to put them all.

God bless and have a great day.

Lion of Judah

I love the Lord so much. I just got a book from the Elijah List called "Transported by the Lion of Judah." It is a very good book and really shows the heart of the Father. If anyone gets a chance to read it, do so it is worth it.

I feel that God is doing something new in my life. He is giving me a desire to pray for others, but in that He is showing me how to empty myself out of myself and filling myself up with the Spirit. I am not sure how to explain it except I am like a conduit for Him. This is all something new because I really have a hard time praying for others with them. I am always afraid that I might say the wrong thing and hurt their relationship with the Father. To heavy for me to carry but lately I am not even thinking about what to pray for it just comes out and I watch in amazement at the work the Father is doing.

I have been trying to do soaking worship a lot and the ability to connect with Jesus is getting easier the more time I spend in His presence. Today I found myself driving down the road having this conversation with Him just like as if someone was in the car with me (well He was but not by the eyes of anyone ) I was asking Him questions and He was answering me. I want to know how He can love me when I am so stinky and when I don't spend the time with Him that I should. I ask Him all kinds of questions. I felt like a little kid that was saying "what's that" "why" "when are we going to get there". He just sat there answering my questions.

I don't know what it is like for a Groom to be excited about showing off his bride and getting her a new home to call her own, but I can guess what it is like to do those things for someone. I know I love to do things for my husband and I get excited when he comes home and the house is clean and there is a great meal on the table. I am sure that Jesus is very excited about the home He has ready for His bride ( that would be me and you ), exciting isn't it? I just pray that all my children and their children are as excited as I am. I always pray that they will have an agapeo love for the Lord. He has done eveything for them.

Well I hope I made some since today, God bless and see you later.
