China??

Since I have no privacy, my three-old asked me the other day..."Mama, where's your weinah?" I told him I was a girl and girls don't have "weinahs" but vaginas. My husband looked at me like I said a curse word. "What? It's the proper word for it. What else do you want me to call it?" I asked him. He shrugged.

A couple of days later, in the middle of bed-time stories, Aidan said, "Mama, boys have weinahs and girls have chinas, right?"

After laughing and hugging him tightly, I said, "You got it!" I decided I like his pronunciation better.

Politics

I've decided I can no longer discuss politics. It turns me into someone I do not want or like to be. I used to think a good political debate was fun, interesting and challenging. However, the closer I get to God, the more I realize it only brings out the worst in people. Accusations start flying, tempers flare and hurtful or sarcastic things are said. Is this glorifying to God? Would he be proud of this? "No," I hear the voice inside my head say.

So, although, I still stand firm in my convictions and will vote for whomever meets those standards, I will keep it to myself...or perhaps a chosen few who I know agree with me. I will take it to God when my voice wants to be heard. After all, isn't He the only one that really counts?

Cleansing

This Friday and Saturday my soul got a good washing! It was the most amazing, cathartic, humbling, glorious, divine experience of my life. Our church has (along with so many other ministries) a freedom ministries called, Kairos. It's a Greek word meaning "A time when God acts". My friends, God acted in ways that are indescribable and incomprehensible to our human minds. I went there anxiously and desperately wanting to totally immerse myself with God's love...oh, I received that but so much more. I let go of past wounds that had left my broken soul heavy and burdened. Things that I thought were dealt with, were really just swallowed and buried in my gut. God, in His wonderful mercy, grace and love, totally released me from burdens that only He can bear. I am so thankful for His love and I fell in love with Him all over again! My intimate encounter with Him left my heart bursting with His joy and peace.

To whomever reads this, please run into His arms...I promise you, it will change your life. He's waiting for you, in fact, He's always been there with open arms. Bury your wounds in His love.
