How Great How Awesome Is He!!!

Let me tell you. God is so Awesome, He is so powerful, and He is still at work! Last night I was on my way to go pick up my niece. We only get to see her for 2 hours on Thursday's. We pick her up from her step dad and mom... These pick up and drop offs are very hard on me. Her step dad is not a nice person at all. He does things that break my heart! I dread going to pick up my niece! Last night was extra hard because of some news that my brother had given me on Wednesday night. I was distraught and my heart couldn't take what I knew I was about to have to face. On my way to go pick her up I cried out to God and asked Him to please completely change the circumstances that I was getting ready to go into. I prayed that her step dad would act completely different and that this would be the most pleasant experience. I pulled up. Got out of my car. Things went so beautifully and were sooooo completely different that I had to fight back my tears! I said out loud THANK YOU JESUS!!! Annie and I had a great time together. I taught her to use chopsticks for the first time and we had great conversations! Then came the drop off. That lasting taste in your mouth. I prayed on the way there. Her step dad didn't even get out of the car and let me walk Annie over to them and let her get in the car! I know that to some this sounds like NOTHING... THIS IS HUGE!!!! God heard my cries knew my heart, my heartache, and exactly what I needed. I praise him in these moments and in the moments that I feel like I can't make it but he knows that I can through Him! He gives me the green light!

Broken Car Seats

I miss you so much it hurts my heart
I know though you are with our Savior
This is what brings me relief

In these times though I feel much grief!
I see precious children being torn from homes
All because there parents are full of scorn

These little faces that once held joy
Now have tears lash to nose
Confusion and fear spread from ear to ear
And replace that wonderful smile that once was there

The child thinks that somehow it's there fault
That mommy and daddy will stop loving them

Please dear Jesus protect these little children
Show them your unending love
Hold them in your arms and protect them
Just like you have with my beautiful little ones.
