A meeting with the Lord

As I lay in bed trying to wake up this morning, this song by Ten Shekel Shirt ("Meet with Me") was playing over and over in my mind. I LOVE it! My favorite words in the song are:

I'm here to meet with you
come and meet with me
I'm here to find you
reveal yourself to me

I thought, What great words to say when I am starting my time of worship, whether it be prayer, reading the Bible or singing to Him.

I truly hope that this song brings at least one of you feelings of JOY and the desire to worship and praise God this morning!!

Wordless Wednesday: Funny Face, I Love You!

What a Sweet Surprise!!!

Beth (One Blessed Nana) at An Instrument 4 His Glory has made me feel like one blessed mama! :) She has given me this fabulous award, my first blog award! (Is it legal to send it back to the person who sent it to you? I have learned so much from you, Beth, and am truly inspired to be a better woman because of you!)

Two rules accompany this award:

1. Confess 5 things you are addicted to.
2. Pass the award on to 5 deserving bloggers.

Five addictions:

1. Seeking the Truth through His Word (and seeking to make it more and more of an addiction all the time!)
2. Time alone with my husband. LOVE connecting with him and laughing, laughing, laughing!
3. Cuddling with my kids, especially at night when they are sooooo talkative.
4. Coffee with my girlfriends. (I get to meet with them tomorrow morning. . .yay! It's always so uplifting and FUN!)
5. Chocolate!

(Now, here's the hard part!! I have been blessed and have learned so much from so many of you!!!!!)

Five deserving bloggers:

3. Yolanda at Higher Grounds.
4. Cricket at A Simple Girl's Life.
5. Deanna at Inside Deanna's Diary.
6. Mimi at He & Me + 3.

What? I can't count? I know, I broke the rule and chose six instead of five. There are so many wonderful women of God out in blogland, and it was so hard to choose. Thank you to all of you teaching me, uplifting me, praying with me.

Please Pray with me

My aunt Sheila (my mom's twin sister) was diagnosed with liver cancer yesterday.
She just finished chemo and radiation for breast cancer in November of 2008. She is 59.

Please lift her up in prayer.

And more frightening than anything, she is not a believer. So even if it's not God's will to heal her at this time, I will pray fervently that He will open her eyes and her heart to receive Him.

As the Spirit leads, will you pray with me, please?

Teaching Typing to Your Kiddos

I found a great link on Latte Lady's blog to a FUN typing website that my son is having a blast with! It is called Dance Mat Typing. It's an easy and fun way to learn typing.

For all you homeschoolers out there, Latte Lady's website is loaded with great information. She speaks of her personal experiences and also has many links to a very wide variety of topics. Hop on over there some time! :)

You're Gonna Miss This

Last night my dear hubby was snoring like a bear with a bad case of sinusitis, so after almost two hours, I got up and snuggled into bed with my sweet daughter, without her knowing. Well, when she woke up this morning, she crawled out of bed (as I kept my eyes closed), and she got her softest little teddy bear (aptly named Soft) and put it right next to my cheek on the pillow.

Then she hopped back into bed laying on her side facing me, my back to her. And she started to softly rub my back with her sweet little hands. Then she went under my shirt and rubbed my back with a gentleness that about made me cry. It was something a mother would do to her child. I still pretended to sleep, just enjoying her precious love.

Lord, thank you for this loving, giving little girl that you have trusted me to watch over.
