Seeking Him

Hello All :o)
It's been a good while since my last visit to blogspot! Last week, Maleah had one of her tough weeks in the tummy department, but she's much better! Dillon, Maleah and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Kingston visiting family. Julian was visiting family in Texas; we missed him terribly! However, it was a fun weekend!! Maleah was feeling good; that makes all the difference. At times I'm envious of those mothers who have babies that just smile and coo and sit in their car seat- indifferent to the world! They are so calm and easy going. My Maleah is quite the handful, high maintenance! But I love her dearly and that spunky personality of hers too :o) Marriage is growing beautifully; God is working in our family in many ways. I am in need of a Mommy Son Date in the very near future! I want to spend some quality alone time with Julian. He helps me tremendously throughout the day, so I feel it's important to have fun times with him and I as well. I have many close friends who are expecting babies, MANY aquaintances who will be mommies too, and a few who desire to have children but are met with great difficulty! Let's just say our prayer list is quite lengthy for these special gals and their families! My heart is burdened with petition for them during this time. When you're growing up as little girls, your thoughts so often remark, "one day when I have a baby..." We take this time for granted as children. We think it will simply be when we are ready; however, God may have different plans for our lives. Because of this fact, Dillon and I tell our children, "If God desires to give you children..." This can be a painful and joyous time in life all to draw us closer to our Heavenly Father. We can do nothing apart from His mercy and loving hand. I am starting a summer bible study with some fantastic ladies over the series Seeking Him- Experiencing the Joy of Personal Revival by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. We will meet together starting next Tuesday! I already completed the first week, and I am loving the gems of grace God is showing me. I am tired of going through the motions. Yes, I am experiencing joy in my salvation, but so much feel more like routine than sincere devotion. Christians go through spiritual dry spells! I need the Living Water to quench this thirst! 


Here is an excerpt from my reading yesterday
"Revival is the sovereign work of God. He chooses when and to whom He sends it...'Revival is not some emotion or worked up excitement; it is rather an invasion from heaven which brings to man a conscious awareness of God.' " included a quote from Stephen Olford
