empty

I am an empty cup... void of strength... void of righteousness of my own.... void of goodness.... unable to move or fill myself.....unable to seek, speculate, prophesy or even hope.

I have to be picked up.... i have to be filled... i cannot chose when....where...what.... i yield to my master ....have Your way with me.

Tomorrow i leave for India for 9 days ....just me and baby girl. I know it is the right thing to do and it needs to be done... so i do it...not that i am ready, or worthy, or the best person, or even want to. I feel like this cup .....pick me up.... have your way oh Lord.

Please pray for His filling, His words, His wisdom, His presence, His protection and peace for my little boys that i leave behind, His peace and strength for Jonathan who cares for them.

Pray that I trust my Maker... He is worthy of it. I am so weak but HE is sooo STRONG.

Pray for my sister as she completes her treatments this next week.

ode to a mother...

today is my sister's 35th birthday!

She is one of those mothers that does the laundry, changes the diapers, carries the 2 year old, cleans up after the dog, picks the strawberries, makes jam, makes breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as multiple snacks, cleans the kitchen, does the dishes, home schools the 11, 8, and now 5 year old, bandages a boo boo, washes the faces, disseminates the fights, changes diapers, brushes teeth, reads a story, reads the bible, listens, disciplines, and teaches the truth all in days time........and all with stage 4 lung cancer.

We praise God for how well she is doing. She just finished her 3rd Chemo treatment and we are all in awe of how she is feeling. GOD is answering our prayers!!!! Please continue to beg for a supernatural miracle for Holly!!! And praise Him with us for how well she is doing now!



Now since i didn't have a good pic from our celebration today... i thought i would let you see a recent pic of my precious Perpetua Faith... 3 months now...isn't she beautiful.... moma boasting on mother's day is allowed.
