His Will

I have attempted to post some hilarious videos of my kids doing hilarious things. For example, I have a video of Lily playing the Nintendo Wii at my grandparents house. She totally busted a move and won the hula hoop game. It was awesome! And my other video is Lily listening to music on my parent's computer. Mirah decides to dance and then high-five everyone for how awesome she is. LOVE it! So, be patient, these videos will come. I am having to figure out how to lessen the quality and size of the video so it will fit. My computer savvy husband would be helping me, but he has been up to his elbows in bathroom remodeling (at which, btw, he is totally amazing!). So, I'm on my own and I'm going to get them to you soon. Promise.

But all hilarity and super cuteness aside, things have been "going on" in our house. Things that are very important and very deep. God is blowing through this place like a Mighty Rushing Wind. He is showing us all some very deep corners of our lives and minds that were not handed over to his Holy Spirit at the time of salvation. This is working our faith out. If it were "one and done" then we'd all be set, wouldn't we? There would be no challenge. No "seek and ye shall find". No "knock and the door will be opened". We would have no need to seek or knock. I thank and praise the Most High for calling us out of darkness and into his Marvelous Light. He is the Author and Perfecter of our Faith and I want him to keep scouring us. I want him to take us through the refining fire - this is his will for my family.

I have much to share about it, but as far as details go, they just keep happening. They just keep pouring out. So, I will journal about this in my notebook and write it all out so that no little thing that the Lord has done or will do will go un-praised. I want Him to get all the glory. I will share details with you...another promise for another post. Right now, we are fresh and raw and are laid open on the operating table of God. This is no outpatient surgery. This is reconstruction. There will be a time for sharing...it's not time yet. Keep us in your prayers. He is about to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we ever dared to ask.

On second thought here is one detail...

I am PRAISING. Did you catch that? ME! Once choked by shame, I'm praising! Once held by pride, I'm praising! Once riddled with anxiety, I'm praising! Once shaking with fear, I'm praising! And you know what!? Things are changing. Not just a little housework or cobweb cleaning going on. We are talking full scale redemption here, folks. I want you to know that if it can happen for me, it can happen for you. I once was lost...but now I'm found.

Give Him the Glory!

More later. Much love to all.
