My True Love's Name is Jesus

Something dawned on me today. I'm a little slow sometimes. God adores me. He loves me and thinks I'm pretty amazing. As I was sitting here in my kitchen, watching over dinner on the stove, I realized that I write blogs about my family quite a lot. I write about what they're going through or how much they mean to me and how much I love them. Well, I'm a little ashamed to admit, but I've neglected to write about the very One whose blessed me with all that I write about, the good and the bad. He's the One who blessed me with the family and friends that I love so much. He's taught me how to love them, despite our differences. He's so many things to me. These are just a very few of them.

He's my best friend and knew He was all I'd ever need, yet He sent me George.
He's my Redeemer and has forgiven all my sins, yet loves me even though I still sin.
He's my Savior, yet allows me to make mistakes, so that I learn from them.
He's my Everything, yet encourages me to enjoy others.
He's jealous of my time, yet doesn't punish me when I neglect my time with Him.
He's beautiful, yet He thinks I'm breathtaking.
He's perfect, yet loves this woman who's not even close to it.
He's true to His word, yet accepts me even though I haven't always been.
He's sinless, yet He desperately loves this sinner.

It is absolutely mind blowing how much He loves us. Beyond my comprehension.

He's Jesus. He's God. He's the Holy Spirit. And He's mine.

Lil Pooks is 3 Months Old!


Happy 3 Month Old Day, my Lil Pooks! Mimi is so in love with you, she can't even see straight. Thinking about you every day just makes me smile. My life is changing because of you! You're not even 15 lbs yet, but you weigh me down with how much I love you!

I can't wait to see you. And I can't wait to be closer. Slumber parties, shopping days, candy runs, ice cream treats, you name it and I think you'll get it.

What the heck am I going to do when you start talking and asking me for things? Go broke, that's what.
