The past several weeks have been crazy busy but really good. I have been blessed with different opportunities that have given me fresh eyes!
Brad’s brother and family came down from Manitoba to spend a week with us. I was so reminded of the value of family. The bond that is there even though 1100 miles separate us most of the time. The joy of watching cousins play together and knowing that the beauty of adoption has allowed this relationship to happen. Marveling at how these two boys can be so alike but don’t share the same blood line!! Knowing that it can only come from the Master and His creativity and His divine plan.
We hosted three young boys and a chaperone from the African Children’s Choir. Listening to the boys talk to each other in their native tongue with such excitement and occasionally recognizing words such as cow, horse as we drove along the countryside. New landscape, new experiences received with such freshness, such awe. The beauty that is around me all the time that I take for granted. The reality hitting deep down in my soul of the incredible blessings that God has provided me and the many people that are out in the world with nothing. God, break my heart for those in the world, increase my thankfulness to you, humble my heart at your goodness, mercy and grace you shower on me.
I attended Come to the Fire Conference this past weekend in Illinois. What a place filled with the Holy Spirit. I heard again of the overflowing love of God, how He wants intimacy with me. He wants to be my all and all, fresh eyes at the power of His love for me and How he desires for me to delight in Him. He wants to be ENOUGH for me!
So amazed at how God orchestrates my life to teach me, to grow me and to give me fresh eyes to see the beauty of HIS plan and how much He loves me. Thank you, thank you.
