Lead me to your heart
The Lord is leading me to your heart. By leading me to your heat He is leading us to His heart. At His heart is the heart of our marriage. Our marriage gains its strength from His heart.
Over these last few months I've been praying to God to lead us to the heart of our marriage. He has promised good to be in our marriage and has promised to love us. He has been there with us during our bumps in the road and during our little celebrations throughout this past year. Yes, this past year has had more bumps in the road than our first and but as we have continued to to re-commit ourselves to each other and honor Him we have taken steps closer to Him and good changes in our marriage.
God is so powerful and an awesome. Through our bumps in the road this year I have gained a new perspective and how to look at our marriage. It's God's perspective and its much better than mine. Its through his perspective that we will be lead to your heart and my heart. It is through Him that all things are possible and that all the "changes" and "improvements" in our relationship with each other and Him will come through Him.
Looking forward to our anniversary tomorrow.
I love you

Up coming weekend
Micah comes home tomorrow, that puts a smile on my face. He is done for a few weeks in Camp Verde so he will be around here doing other jobs. I'm looking forward to this this weekend. It's our anniversary on Saturday and we are going out of town for the night. I have all the kids confirmed for where they will be while we are gone. We will all have our own little adventures this weekend.
I laugh a little when I think about mine coming up. Sherman Williams does all sorts of things for their clients and one of them is to give out tickets to the NAU games and do tailgate parties before each game (the food is always so yummy!) So this trip to Tucson is to watch a football game. A representative from Sherman Williams will be going around on Saturday starting at 9:00 a.m. in a bus picking up 5 other couples including Micah and I. We will be driven to Tucson, enjoy yummy food at the tail gate party, watch a football game, stay in a paid for room and be driven back sometime on Sunday.
So I laugh because all I feel like we are in high school again, going on a bus with a bunch of other people heading out to a game for food and fun.
I really think it will be fun. I feel like I can just relax hanging out with my husband sort of like we were kids again with not a worry in sight (kids taken care of and doggies too)

FUN, LAUGHTER, SMILES & LOVE
Saturday morning we were in the kitchen and one of the kids asked what all was going on today. Micah announces that he was taking me to Lake Mary to jet ski. I smiled and Sara was a little disappointed because she wanted to go, but Micah said that it was just going to be the two of us. Don't worry everyone went there separate ways with friends and had fun too.
So we get to Lake Mary and discovered that it was very busy with bunches of people and boats. We joked with the lady that we paid for parking that everyone must be practicing for the next weekend (labor day weekend).
We get out on the water and Micah takes me for a ride. When you ride with Micah be prepared to hang on tight for all the sharp turns he takes, or spins into donuts, or giant waves that bounce you hard on the water and ends up splashing you with water. Its a lot of fun!
He takes us back to the dock and insists that I take it out by myself. I wasn't so sure about it but I said okay I guess I could and that I would take it easy and not go very fast. Well it wasn't long before I had a good feel of what to do and how to maneuver around out there on the water that I sort of forgot about "taking it easy and not going fast" :)
Micah said that from a distance he could see me smiling and having fun. As I got closer to the dock he said my face was beaming with a huge grin from ear to ear. It was so much fun, such a rush! I couldn't help but go on about it for a few minutes. Micah told me on our way home that he glad that I had a good time.
It truly was a good time, relaxed "let my hair" down fun time but most of all it was fun, laughter, smiles and love with my husband.
(we were tired but some how found the energy to go out on Sunday with Sara and have more fun despite the rain and hail that beat upon us while heading back to the dock. After the rain it was sunny, bright and warm again...I guess that is Flagstaff AZ for ya)

Amazing Love
My love for my children is huge! My love for my husband is strong! My love for my parents is always and true. My love for friends is there in their time of need (happy or not so happy). My love for my little doggies is dependable. My love for my Lord and Savior is indescribable but His love for me is amazing!
To be Held
When our children are small we love to hold them. Holding them close and snuggling our babies, comforting them and loving them. I loved those moments. As my kids have gotten bigger I can't really hold them like that anymore. Sara my youngest is the only one that I sort of can do that but it won't be much longer.
I remember as a child my mother holding me in her arms. She would hold me and snuggle and tell me how much she loved me. She would also hold me when I was upset and I could cry my little eyes out close in her arms. I felt loved and comforted by being held in my mother's arms.
Well I'm too big to be held by my mother. (besides she is so tiny and petite and only 5 foot tall and I'm taller than her...) There are times when I want to be held again like a child but who is there to hold me? There is someone and His hands and arms are strong enough to hold me, love me and comfort me.
My heavenly Father is there to hold me just as a mother holds her child. I've come to really love the feeling of His hands and arms around me. They bring such comfort to me when in my times of sorrow and such happiness in times of joy and celebration.
He is strong enough to hold all his children. I'm thankful that I am one of them. Thank you Lord for holding me. I love the way you hold me. It brings great comfort to my soul to be held by You.
Music can be so wonderful and help express the things we feel. I think Jamie Grace expresses it quite well with this song.

God is Worth it!
Everyday I live for Christ. I stumble at times but I know I can count on Him. I know He will give me the courage and strength that I need. He will supply me with the right words I need when I need them. I can trust Him to take my best effort and make it better. When I don't know who else to turn to in frustration or when the tears are rolling down my face and my heart is aching all I know to do is to reach out for Him. He is there for me on my bad days and good days. Serving God isn't easy at times and it doesn't mean its peaches and cream, and sunshine all the time. There will be rain and storms at times. Then there will be rainbows and cool breezes. It does mean that God's presence is with me and that His peace keeps my soul calm. It means that I need to obey Him and that is what he expects of me. I need to listen when he speaks to me through His Word, through the precious moments of time that need not to be looked over. That is okay with me because God your are worth it!
God is worth leaning on. God is worth giving up to. God is worth it! In every way, every moment of every day that I live.
(When I was writing this, a song came on in the background and it was this one. I thought it fit perfectly.)
