Fall...

This year all four children are on different schedules back to school.  When I first received the schedules sometime during the summer I had to come to terms with the change of having “3” first days this year.  It actually isn’t that bad when I look at the BIG picture.  Each child gets to have a brighter light shine on him or her individually-- we even started a new tradition with the highlighted child getting to pick the back to school dinner.  Last week it was tacos, this week homemade pizza.  I can’t wait to find out what my little girls decide.  

Fall comes around each year with the expectations on high.  Another opportunity for kids to excel, create lasting memories, and try new things.  Each year my prayer for them is the same. My prayer is that my children make wise choices, choose positive friends, be the best, be kind, and be thoughtful. I pray that they love and appreciate learning, and that they are confident but not arrogant.  Each year as they get older, I realize that my time with them is shorter.  I often wonder if I will have enough time to share with them all the things I need to teach them.  I pray that they are listening and that through all my teachings I pray that they know how much I love them, and that my love transcends above all things. 

 Sunday’s message was giving God giant prayers for him to answer and big faith to believe that HE will answer them.  As I sat in my quiet place Monday morning thinking of the Giant prayers, I am reminded that we all need to be renewed and revived.  It is in this season that we must recommit ourselves after summer vacations and family gatherings. 

My Giant prayers start with my family.  I pray that God uses all us to glorify His Kingdom work.  I pray that all the trials that my husband and I face, are just the training that is required for what our REAL purpose is as a married couple.  I am confident that all we have been through is simply preparing us for our breakthrough.    

“With God, All things are possible”---Matthew 19:26.  

As I sit and patiently wait for my prayers to be answered, I will continue to do what I am called to do.  I will use my gifts to Build HIS KINGDOM.  Love. Write. Teach. Inspire. Sing. Love more. Write more. Teach more. Inspire more. Sing more.
