Psalm 30:11-12 You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I'm about to burst with song; I can't keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can't thank you enough. This blog will be about so many things...but know this, God allows me to bloom where He chooses to plant me! This in some ways will be His story about me...and maybe a few other stories along the way.

Micayla Patterson
Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message)
God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
his merciful love couldn't have dried up.
They're created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He's all I've got left.
This passage has comforted my heart on so many occasions, a wealth of them being in times of trials with my children. In the last 24 hours I have learned about an amazing young woman named Micayla. Her precious life cut short this past weekend on the way from a concert in Tulsa. I’ve never met her or her family that I know of. As a mom…oh my precious Lord Jesus, comfort this mother as only You can…I can’t begin to imagine the grief, sorrow, pain within every ounce of your being. With all that has been written about Micayla and all the interviews, there is but one common theme. Micayla loves Jesus. I say loves in present tense due to the fact that she now dances with her Savior on beautiful streets of gold. As a mother, my prayer is that Micayla’s family and friends find comfort in that. A friend posted the following video on facebook and I sat last night and this morning as tears came freely and lifted up this grieving family. Please join me in prayer for the Almighty Counselor, Prince of Peace to wrap His larger than life arms and comfort their precious hearts in the minutes, hours, days, months and years to come.

"Mommy, it's always funner with fun people"
As I prepared a bedtime bath for my 6 year old daughter, she was so sad that our Labor Day fun was coming to an end. She had a few tears as she said goodbye to the girls she grown so much to love as her sisters...and after all, they've all pretty much been there since her grand-airborne entrance into this world. She looked at me through tears and said, "Mommy, I don't want the girls to leave. It's been a very fun day." I agreed… it had been. She held on to my shoulders as I began to undress her for the bath and said, "Mommy, it's always funner with fun people". I smiled and agreed...
These beautiful girls who chose to drive (some several miles) and spend the day with us, have no idea how much I really do love them. It is so difficult to describe. I didn't give birth to them, I tease...but they've been a pain in the butt enough for me at times that I can call them mine! :) I couldn't be more proud of them and of my three birth babies. They all have mamas, although some are no longer with us and dance with Jesus. I say they are mine, yet I know they are His...they too will dance with Jesus someday….all of us together. :) God knit them together; they are His and have always been. Psalm 139
It's interesting. I'm not a writer...I do have the gift of gab. I kind of like this blog thing...even if my father, Heavenly Father...is the only one who reads it. :)
I leave you with this question: Who are you reaching out to beyond your family? Isaiah 54:2 says
"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. I dare you to stretch!
God's grateful girl.
