For Him

There are no words to describe the joy, peace, and happiness I have at this very moment. You have followed through on your promise to me and even though I knew You would, I'm still left speechless! I mean, I will attempt to express everything that I feel but I know there are no words which are suitable to describe your goodness. Thank you just isn't enough so I will spend my life trying to express my gratitude. I dedicate my life to serving You! Some may think I'm crazy but I know what You have done for me and there is nothing or no one that can shake my faith. I'll willingly risk being called crazy for You Lord...it's the least that I can do! The amazing thing is...You are far from finished working on me and so many great and wonderful things are in my future. Thank you for supplying my needs...thank you for making me virtuous...thank for making strength and honor my clothing. These things are all works in progress but still I thank you now because I know You always finish what You start! I love You with my heart, soul, and mind...more than ANYTHING!!

My Girls...

I'll say it once and I'll say it a million times...I love that I'm raising sisters. They are sooooo fascinating to me! My girls make me laugh so much and I could watch them interact for hours...as long as they're not bickering. Sometimes it's like they have one mind and I often think they should've been twins. The other morning (no kidding) I watched them wake up out of their sleep at the same time, walk over to each other, shake hands, and say, "nice to meet you." The whole time I'm standing there like...did I miss something?!? They always seem to be on the same wave length. Which is why when KK's doctor evaluated her (while she was still 3) and came to the results that her mind was on the level of a 7-year-old, I wasn't surprised. I think she's right where Zarayah is mentally (although Zarayah's only 6). Without a doubt I have my work cut out for me with these two which is why I'm so glad that Zailes is such a great big brother. I'm doing my best to plant their roots exactly where they should be. KK has been forming and saying her own prayers since before she turned two, and Zarayah is constantly mindful of the Ten Commandments so I believe they're headed in the right direction. Nevertheless, these girls will drive me to my knees more times than I'll be able to count. Actually, they already do! I'm not trying to wait until they're older and in trouble to start praying for them. I'm praying now that God will deliver them from the evils that Satan has setup for their future. I sometimes wonder what it would've been like if I had grown up with a sister and I'd like to think it would've been exactly the same relationship that my two girls have.

In My Opinion...

I don't consider myself to be a very bold person. Maybe I am on this blog...and maybe when I'm defending my beliefs I can come across as bold. However, I believe myself to be more of a "doer" than a "sayer". Actions definitely speak louder than words in my book and I'm all about watching what people do instead of listening to what comes out of their mouths. Really, that's the only way to tell the true character of a person! I'll be the first to admit that I truly admire and appreciate someone who is bold in Christ. BUT, not when the boldness overshadows the humility! When someone is constantly being bold but rarely displays times of being humble, it makes me feel a little uneasy. None of us christians should ever get to a point where we feel like we have "arrived". We came from NOTHING and we are NOTHING without God.
