'Waiting'

I can't imagine what it must have been like, back before the days when motorized engines were readily available, before boats were propelled by machine rather than wind or man-power or even steam.

'Building a Foundation'

If each day of my life represented a brick laid in a foundation, i wonder what kind of foundation it would be? I think about my days, what they normally look like and imagine that my foundation, as of yet, is probably not laid in the most efficient nor effective of fashions.  I don't roll out of bed on my knees every morning and sometimes don't even acknowledge God and so much as even say hey and good morning to Him for the first hour or so, or at least not consciously.  I rarely get up early enough that I can get a good reading session done in my bible before my children are up and let's face it...once they are up, it is VERY hard to sit down and CONCENTRATE to be able to comprehend what I'm reading.  But there is always hope.  Hope that my desire to know God and my longing to know more of His heart will stir me enough so that i might lay a more solid life foundation.  I mean after all it's on this foundation that the immediate things around us rest.  I am a wife, so therefore if my foundation is not good..then my husbands won't be either (since we are one in accordance with the word), and i am a mother...so then my children will be effected as they rely on me in order to take care of them at there age.  Spiritually God is relying on me to be His representative, a representative with a solid foundation that others can rely on at times for different things.  So right now in my life i am going back to my foundations.  I want to make sure there are no cracks so that as I continue to build daily, everything doesn't come crashing down because i neglected to keep priorities straight, or keep focused on a goal of keeping God first in my life.

'Rise and Shine'

Today for some reason I felt like I got the word to pray for light in aunt Carla's life.  I'm not sure in what ways, and maybe it's not for me to know but I've just been praying that she would be surrounded by color.  I know that color is a form of light, and that whatever color we see is just the spectrum of light being reflected off an object, so maybe God is giving me a unique way to pray for the different facets of Himself to be revealed.  I know many times in the bible God is referred to as being light, or we as believers are like lamps and so on and so forth so I'm wanting to do a more in depth study of light and colors and how it relates to references of light in the bible.  One thing i found online today that i enjoyed reading is the passage below....
