Life is full of ups and downs. We have so many demands on us as women. We have so many roles that we play. We are a daughter to someone, a wife to someone, a mother to several and a friend to many. I pray that you will enjoy reading the devotions and that you would be encouraged by them. I am a mother to four sons and have to admit that nothing has challenged me more in life than being a mom to them. I can thank them for testing me in my faith and for always being able to remind me that the best place I can be for the next 12 or so years is on my knees praying that they will become the nice young men I dream them to be.

I love sharing about my Savior and all that HE has done for me. I love discovering new things about God. He is amazing. He is tenderhearted. He cares about His people. He put great detail in each one of our lives while He knit us together in our mother's womb. There is nothing that we will ever do or anything that has been done to us that can separate us from His love. He can handle what you've done and He can handle where you have been. These are the truths that we will have to hang onto especialy in a world that doesn't have much security in it right now. There is a lot of unsettled issues, there are a lot of fears that I have and I know many of you have. Many are asking me the question if God cared so much why is there so much filth in the world. I have a short but simple answer to that we have taken Him out of our world. We don't invite Him into our lives anymore and the one thing I do know is that He is a gentleman and He only stays where He is welcome.

My prayer for this year has been for God to show me His Glory.There is a song by Third Day called Show Me Your Glory and it is about Moses's encounter with God and his boldness to ask God to see His glory. It is my favorite story in the bible because you truly see the love and compassion that our Heavenly Father has for us. Moses just catches a glimpse of His glory and he says he will never be the same and the realization that he can't go on without God in his life. When he climbs down the mountain and gets back to his everyday life he won't be able to settle for ordinary things and I can so relate to that. I don't want to settle for ordinary everyday living. I want extraordinary spirit led living everyday. After Moses saw a glimpse of God and His goodness he wasn't going to rest until He sees Him again. I want that, don't you? I want my everyday to be looking for God's glory. Today we have to really look for it. It is there but we are so consumed with worldly things that we miss Him in the midst of it. He hasn't changed and His desire is to show us His Glory but we are too busy to see it and we find it harder and harder through all the things that we place before God. That is why my prayer is for God to show me His Glory to take the time to be still and know that He is God. I pray that as you read the devotions and the testimonies on this site that you will catch glimpses of His Glory.

 Galatians 5:1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law.
