Granny and Pawpaw 50 and still flirting!

God Speaks!

I know some people don't believe that God specifically speaks, and I know some people believe that God only speaks to pastors etc... I have proof otherwise. He speaks to me and he will speak to anyone expecting to hear from him and believing they will hear from him. Now I will be the first to say that I think I would hear from God more often if I sought his will first, on many things and if I was more obedient, I don't know? I don't know much I just know what I know and have the faith that He has apportioned to me. I want to give a couple examples of how he speaks to me, mostly to just brag about how cool my God is and to encourage anyone who needs to hear from him and wonders... A lot of the time he speaks scripture to my heart during a specific situation or during my quiet time or just whenever he wants. I hear “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10), a lot! For a while I struggled with thinking God was disappointed with me and I heard “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness Exodus 34:6, man talk about sweet peace! And I love when he speaks his word to my heart, I do....but I love when he speaks very specifically to me. I love how he breaks into my day and reveals his amazing presence to me. Not too long ago I was about to sit down and have my quiet time (read my bible and pray) and I was looking for a pen because I have to journal when I do my quiet time, and I heard him say "just sit down". I was like "what"? O.k. Lord but I need a pen...I finally found a pen and when I went to sit down there was a pen shoved in my bible from the day before! Silly Jennifer, arguing with God. Then a couple of weeks ago when we had  a night of worship at church on a Wednesday night I had a vision of me being at the nursing home visiting my mom.....hmm I prayed a "really God? You want me to go to the nursing home tonight? It's so late, I just want to go home". The vision was still there and pressing on my heart deeper. So I called Chase and told him I would be late. When I got to the nursing home I could hear my mom calling for me all the way down the hall!!!! My dear sweet Jesus speaks!!!!! I went home told Chase and tears flowed. Man we serve a sweet God.

Thankful.

Things have seemed tough lately. I have been frustrated, and then I'm frustrated for being frustrated. It seems lately at every turn I'm encountering someone who is rude and hateful. We have had some scares, much too close to the heart. God is reminding me that he is for me so who can come against me. He is also reminding me that I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of self-control. It is a dark, dark world we are living in and if we don't listen to the voice of truth and be light we will cower to the darkness.

We went to FW for Spring break! It was quick, chill and so much fun. Friday Chase and I grabbed our beautiful niece and headed over to Target to get her any toy she wanted, she picked out Jessee from Toy Story :) After Target we went to marble slab.......yummm... The rest of Friday was devoted to big girl shopping, sort of. We hit up Children's place, Justice and finally the most fun....Sam Moon! Dinner at Shady Oak, outside with the band playing and the kids dancing made for a beautiful ending to our fun day. Saturday we decided to try some new eats, so we drove over to the Mellow Mushroom (by TCU). The food was delish and if you eat on the patio, it provides great light for pictures!

We're going to say.....

"Remember that time when Liam had bronchialitis and pneumonia".....and then we're going to say, "yep God is so good, he healed him up quick!'

 These pictures aren't all that accurate, after brother and sister get home from school I will post some this little guy acting like a wild monkey!
