Just one more thing...

Thank you for encouraging me and challenging me to grow...I am so thankful that you love Him and have that deep desire to follow after Him.

I hope you had a good day!!

toodles! ; )

Happiness...

...I wish for happiness, but how many times do I thank Him for the little things that make me giggle? Perhaps they're even considered "ordinary" but they're special to me because they spark a memory and cause a smile to burst onto my face...or even irresistible giggles.
What's the cause? ...Maybe it's going away and then coming home...maybe it's the Christmas season...maybe it's the blessings of the last few months : )...who knows.


but, i'm thankful. and absolutely happy.

: )

I am HOME!!!!!!!!

I heart...

.Christmas.
.home.
.Christmas lights.
.cookies.
.movies.
.Christmas music.

Feet Wet

standing at the water's edge, i feel a trembling fear
as the waves crash 'round my ankles
feel the thunder in my ear
i feel the change is coming, the wind is at my back
but doubt overtakes me and my eyes turn to black
my past lurks behind me, keeping me on guard
i don't want to chance it, these steps are just too hard
i know He's behind me but what can i do
i'm frail, i'm human, and i don't want to fail you

i can't walk on water with these dirty feet 
but He can walk on water and He'll carry me

so put your arms around me carry me to sea
waves knock against me but i know I'm free
from death and loneliness, darkness, despair
this life is choppy but i don't care

"The Potter's Hand"

Know that I am thinking of you...these words are my prayer for you...

"The Potter's Hand"
Darlene Zschech

Beautiful Lord
Wonderful Savior
I know for sure all of my days
Are held in Your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently call me
Into Your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life
Through Your eyes

I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart
I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life
To the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life
To the Potter's hand
