New Life

The love of Christ has taken over my heart. Where I once felt my flesh urge to crticize, I now feel the Spirits full love. Where I once rejected to keep my heart safe, I now feel the Spirits full acceptance of me and others.

The love of Christ has taken over my eyes. Where I once saw imperfection, I now see precious beauty.

I love of Christ has taken over my thoughts. Where I once thought constantly about how I looked or what people thought, I now think of others with love and prayer.

The love of Christ has taken over my mind. Where I once feared, I now love.

I am moment by moment experiencing the life of Christ through me for the first time in my life. I am still experiencing flesh at times, but have spent much of my time in the past two weeks abiding in Him.

By His Grace at His perfect time, He has brought me here. To a moment by moment experience of His life and His love.

The Bible says in John that Jesus came to give life and give it abundantly. I seriously wondered if I would ever get past my flesh enough to experience that life He talks about. The answer was, no, I could not get past my flesh. He could, He can, He did and He will! Not in my time, but in His perfect time.

After nearly 6 months of brokenness, He has brought me of glimpse of what it is to live life In Him. I am thrilled to continue this life In Him as He breaks my soul ties with my flesh and brings me into this incredible Life filled with indescribable joy.

What a Hubby

My hubby spent the morning with my two younger daughters. When I walked in the door after picking up our oldest from pre-school, I found S happily married.

"I'm married with Daddy, this is our baby (L), and this is our real kid (cabbage patch)."

This is one thing I love about Matt. He plays house with the girls whenever they want! Here are some others:

1. He's such a good man that his daughters get excited to be pretend married to him.
2. He would rather go on a date with me than watch his favorite show. (No DVR or Tevo here!)
3. He does the dishes.
4. He loves God and it shows.
5. He has taught 2 out of 3 of our babies to sleep through the night by staying up all night with them for over a week.
6. He disciples our daughters in living life in Christ.
7. He likes to spend time with us and spends a lot of time with us.
8. He is good at his job.
9. He leads our home spiritually.
10. He often cooks dinner.
11. He seems to enjoy spending money on me. :) It's really sweet.
12. He doesn't get mad at me when we're sleeping on couches because I have covered our bed with laundry and haven't folded by bedtime (about 12am).
13. He is handsome.
14. He is kind.
15. He is never critical.
16. He is loving.
17. He is patient.
18. He surrenders to God's lead in his life, which is the best way of taking care of us.
19. He listens to me.
20. He's lots of fun to be around.

I think I could continue on this list all day, but I have a baby crying! Thanks for being so great Matt, I love you!
