The purpose you ask... "To spend time with my Kids" Yes we get dirty and yes we make a mess, but I LOVE IT and so do they!! :)

Here is the poem I forgot to post!!!
I wrote this poem right after our miscarriage. Although it still ministers to me thru any trial. Thank you Lord and YES I Trust you!!! :)
TRUST
When I hear the words I had feared the most
I TRUST
When my hopes and dreams are shattered
I TRUST
When my eyes are swollen from tears and pain
I TRUST
When my world seems unsure and alone
I TRUST
When I hurt from the words of others
I TRUST
When I feel the stirring in my spirit
I TRUST
When the strength appears
I TRUST
When the sorrow turns into Joy
I TRUST
When you say "I know the plans I have for you"
I TRUST
I Trust you God... because my life is in your hands!!

Who am I?
I was reading a friends blog, when I started to wonder "Wow she is going thru the same thing, I just went thru last year" So I thought I would post some thoughts!! Sometimes (especially us moms) start thinking about our purpose and what our goal for life is. I love the Lord and tell him to guide me in the path he would want me to go. BUT.. I would still wonder.... "Is this God?" Last year at the womens retreat, God got a hold of me and simply whispered.."Be you, the one I created and love" he told me "Stop being who you think you should be.. trust me and I will lead you, stop making pitstops to put your thoughts and doubts in it..Trust me" I will never forget that night... it wasn't some big hoopla of a service or anybody running around the building (although I love all of that) We had to write down things that we haven't forgiven ourselves for and put them in this treasure chest and then it was thrown into the lake for no-one to ever see again!! I knew God had forgiven me for many many things, but yet I had never forgiven myself. When I finally let go after a big struggle with God... WOW What power he gave me!! They played a song at the retreat that summed up my whole weekend there. "I KNOW WHO I AM... I AM YOURS" (which is the first song on my music player) To sum it all up... He loves us and wants us to trust him and let him lead us and not worry what the day will bring. I have to admit it is still a struggle some days, but as soon as I play that song, his awesome spirit comes rushing in!!!! I have a poem I will post here as soon as I can that just came to mind!!!

Busy!!!
We have been so busy with Revival at our church this week!!! I have seen God do things that I thought never ever would be possible! He is moving like never before... if we surrender to it. The bible says... "in the last days I will pour out my spirit.." How exciting to be a part of what God wants to do!!!! He has changed me this week... nothing that I knew he couldn't do before. But I have a hunger for his word and long to just worship him for who he is. God you amaze me!
