the apple of HIS eye

Logan,
"He makes the moon gleam
and the sun shine
He makes the stars light
up the night sky
God loves you SO much!
You are His treasure,
the apple of His eye."

-Mommy

Our newest bedtime song.

If I could say one thing, to a single mother struggling with the incredible responsibility and HONOR of raising a child- it would be, trust HIM. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, fix your eyes your heart your mind, every bit of your being upon HIM. HE will light the path for your feet, and NEVER leave your side. His perfect GRACE covers what we uncover. Take rest in the Everlasting Arms- They will never betray you, forsake you, leave you, hurt you, let go of you, never... just TRUST in Him. I will not live according to the title, "Single Mom", I am partnering with the most incredible Father, our Heavenly Father as I raise my son. And the church. I am far from a single mother! =-)See More

notes to self

i often use "post its" as little reminders due to my crazy schedule and often forgetting things! sometimes i'll think of something, write it down, and later put in my journal.

Fellowship Church 20 Year Anniversary!!

"... .and yet, in the midst of all this, there is something about the birth of a child. It is unique in that it is simultaneously soul-stirring and stomach-churning. You wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, but you certainly would not choose to experience it over breakfast. Yet, when this child makes his dramatic entrance into the world, there is ... something. Something in that moment draws us in at a soul depth. For once, the word miracle seems entirely appropriate. The arrival of a new life in this world calls something out of you, despite your inability to sufficiently describe it or even comprehend it. "--EY

He lights up the sky..

If I'm ever discouraged, or feeling alone, I just look around. There's always something, someone, to remind me that God is right there... He never leaves, not even for a moment. I noticed the stars more than usual a few nights ago.. as they hung effortlessly in the skies above me. I thought to myself, " God, you are incredible. The beauty that is all around me, how could I ever doubt that you are not right there.. You're in everything! " I then heard this song on the drive home from a video shoot in downtown FW..it couldn't have come on at a better time,, windows down, music blaring, singing as loud as possible!


When the night is closing in
It’s falling on my skin
Oh God will You come close

Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me
I, I, I can’t deny
Oh I can’t deny that You are right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes so I can see You all around me
Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me

Light up the sky- The Afters

The most important duty, respecting both the temporal and spiritual good of your children, is fervent supplication to God for them. Without this all the rest will be ineffectual. Means are unavailing unless the Lord blesses them. The Throne of Grace is to be earnestly implored that your efforts to bring up your children for God may be crowned with success

2 cute.

Last night I held you tighter than usual, held you longer, stared at you in awe and amazement like the first night I held you. So thankful for you sweet son, you are the "apple of my eye" and "my shining star". This life is such a precious gift and I thank you for allowing me to realize what a gift it is... I cherish these exciting times!

Love you more than anything,

your #1 Fan
