“Yea though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death, death, death... There once was a time when my thoughts abused my mind so wrong, I thought I was going to die. Life just wasn't what I expected. Every move began to terrify my soul, so I ran away---.” J. Rose

One of my biggest fears was being away from my children long enough for the world to have a greater influence, but I recognize the significance of our time together the first few years of their lives. With both my children in school this past year, I was extremely proud of their accomplishments. But even still-- That gave me only little ease when I excitingly went to help my husband with his office. I can bashfully admit this new adventure is scary for me because I don't ever want to stop being the happy-fun-supportive-hands-on-mom God appointed me to be for my children. 

The other night, I was so tired from traveling late, working long and rushing back and forth that I came home and plopped on my bed. My daughter gave me one of her relaxing little massages, while singing lullabies. Meanwhile my son laying next to me, turned off his kindle game after only playing 3 mins and took it upon himself to put on worship music. He sang along every song until his daddy came home late that night. As I type this little blog, tears are drowning my face because his relationship with God means the world to me! 7 years old... On this Independence Day I am celebrating my freedom from an abusive thought relationship! “I have the mind of Christ and do hold the thoughts of His heart.--”
