Family Life

I found myself pondering about the stresses and woes of having children and being a mom.  And the thought of having MORE children and the foreboding question of, "How the heck would I even do that???"

Peace quickly came.

Things will never get more calm or less busy and crazy.  The challenge to accept is to embrace the good, the sweet, the fun, and the tender.  The BEST moments--these are the lights shining--keeping us moving forward.  And I'd never have deep fulfilling moments without the Spirit.  And I'll not have him nearby without inviting him through meaningful prayer and scripture study.

I read in Revelation right before having this pondering session and John describes seeing Christ.  He says he falls "at his feet as dead."  But Christ lays his right hand upon him, saying "Fear not; I am the first and the last; I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen."

He's right here with us.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you.  I am in your midst, and ye cannot see  me." (here)

AMEN x 1 million.
