My Perfect Little Tea Pot!

A few posts ago I stated how I had found what I wanted for my china cabinet! I found the tea set named by Gracie China and two beautiful China Collections that bare the name of Hayden and Hannah. Well, Shane decided to order me the beautiful Tea Pot and Tea Cup/saucers from Gracie China. He surprised me with them :)! I was actually planning on waiting because I am not in that big of a hurry to get things done, I mean we have moved a lot over the past 12 years and now that I feel settled what is the rush you know? When I opened the box to view my new tea pot I noticed right off that the handle was broken! Shane immediately tried to wrap it back up and place in the box to be shipped back so that we could get another one in perfect condition! I grabbed it out of his hands and pulled it close to my heart and told him that it was indeed not going back from where it came from and to me it was perfect in every way!

You probably think it is so odd that I would want a broken piece of china sitting on my shelf in my dining room, but I don't think there is anything anymore beautiful or inspirational especially for me to view on a daily basis! First off, Shane purchased that piece just for me as a surprise so that within itself makes that little teapot unique, but then you add the imperfection and well I just think that it is perfect! Just think? A beautiful piece of china that has been broken! What a story! That little tea pot reminds me of myself. On the surface I put on my makeup, enjoy fashion, I am very delicate and fragile and yet I am broken! Every time I look at this tea pot now I will not only see my precious husband's love for me and the sacrafice he made to give it to me, but I will see God's love for me and the sacarifice that His son Jesus made for me on the cross when He was broken that I might be saved! He was perfect, but was broken for my sins! I will also think of the fact that I have been broken, but God continues to love me and take care of me and mend me. Yay for God's love and Yay for my little broken tea pot! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

In My Child's Eye

I just had to share this beautiful picture with you all this morning! The kids and I have been enjoying these spring like days. Yesterday I captured Hayden in this photograph looking up at the sky. He ended up glancing at me and as I took the picture the reflection of the clouds in his eyes took my breath away!

In my Child eye's I saw heaven. I saw no fear and no limits. All I saw were blue sky's and white clouds! To infinity and Beyond! In my child's eye's I saw a reflection of the glory of God!

GOD OF WONDERS

WOW, GOD IS AMAZING!!!!!
The girls are with their meme right now and Hayden is asleep...So i decided to sit on my cleaned off porch and read some of my books and have some time with JESUS!

I walked out to Badger our Horse and Looked up in the sky and Began to sing "God of Wonders" to the Lord! I began to praise him!!!! WOW!!! What a great experience!!!!

the clouds and sunshine and storm in the distance blowing up dust and the wind! I closed my eyes and could hear the birds, crickets almost praising my God...I saw the insects with wings waving their wings in adoration...Badger Even seemed to be bowing his head in Honor to our Lord! The Trees Swaying back and Forth to in Exaltation to Our Holy Father! i began to actually feel the world around me singing "God of Wonders"

Ya know sometimes God just wants our praise...even if the world seems crazy around us...It becomes so much more calm and full of peace when we stop and just praise Him for no reason just because He is wonderful and mighty...Glorious...

So many times we try to justify why it is okay to live how ever we want....Well after my experience today! I wanna live holy for GOD....I am nothing but a speck of dust in this great world He created but MAN OH MAN!!!! I feel i am in debt to such a saviour to such a GOD!

I Choose to live Holy today and I choose to bless His name...In the storms and In the Sun!


I don't even Deserve to Praise Him! That is How Awesome and wonderful to me He is!

I hope you all take the time to breath Him in Today as I have!

God Bless you

God is Amazing!

I have had a hard couple of weeks to hit me and I had come to a place of feeling all alone, abandoned, bitter, resentful, angry, and hopeless...I almost felt as though i couldn't breath like the very air was taken from me!
i am sure none of you have EVER felt these thing LOL we are all Human and feel this way from time to time RIGHT:) Even us Crazy LOL pastor's wives HEHEHEHE
...I have felt way down and discouraged, but God has brought some pretty amazing ladies in my life the past few weeks...just hanging out talking about God and his goodness has been great...Not having to ever go into detail with how or why i felt down these Godly women have brought encouragement to my life and Godly wisdom and I just want to Give them a shout out!
i just want to give a big shout out to Kristy! thanks girl :) you rock!

God is Good and Just like one awesome girl told me "sometimes we find God in the Earthquakes, and in the fires but sometimes we find him in a whisper and silence"

It is my time to be silent and listen! It is time to breath the very breath of God!

God is truly amazing and I am humbled by the Love he Has for me! WOW! that i am special so special to him that he would send people into my life that i haven't even ever met before and that they would speak encouragement into me :) wow!!! GOD ROCKS RIGHT!!!!

Job 42 1-6 (THE MESSAGE BIBLE) Job answered God: "I'm convinced: You can do anything and everything. Nothing and no one can upset your plans. You asked, 'Who is this muddying the water, ignorantly confusing the issue, second-guessing my purposes?' I admit it. I was the one. I babbled on about things far beyond me, made small talk about wonders way over my head. You told me, 'Listen, and let me do the talking. Let me ask the questions. You give the answers.' I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand—from my own eyes and ears! I'm sorry—forgive me. I'll never do that again, I promise! I'll never again live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumor."

WOW This is Powerful to me,but so true for where I am! God is God All Powerful and Awesome! I have seconded guessed Him many times I have not fully trusted Him especially in my pain, but He is there still all powerful as the day I stand on the mountain!

God is so Good...I love him!
