*seeking Peace in a storm

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep Your love be with me through the night and wake me with the morning light. Amen I'm sure most of us remember our bedtime prayer or at least a bedtime prayer from when you were a child. The one above is what I have taught my daughter, and when I was typing it, I could just hear her sweet little voice and I know that God grins from ear to ear each and every time she prays that little prayer. I'm so glad that we serve such a tender, loving God that loves my children more than I will ever be able to fathom! Now, why would I post that bedtime prayer at 10:30 am? Check out that last line? "and wake me with the morning light." Other songs I've heard say "'til morning light." Morning...UGH! I'm just not a morning person. So for most of my adult life, I sleep until I absolutely must get out of bed. I hit snooze 5 times and even set my alarm fast so that I might trick myself into actually

It's the Monday (now Tuesday, I didn't get this posted on time, lol) after a fantastic weekend of worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Can I get an Amen!?! I had the awesome privilege to attend Living Proof Live in Little Rock on Friday night and Saturday morning.

And I am in awe of His power and His mercy for me, a wretched sinner. LPL was followed by an equally amazing Sunday service at our church.

I've been out for a little while. I haven't been blog-reading or writing lately...just kind of been super busy, which tends to happen when you are a full-time working wife and mother of two! A mother's work is never finished! A LOT has been happening lately- We got news that my husband could be jobless soon. :-( My daughter had strep throat & a urinary tract infection and My son had to have tubes put in his ears after suffering his 7TH ear infection since December! We looked at a house for rent and are probably going to be moving around the first of June (it is bigger, cheaper, and away from all of the fast-food joints!). I've been preparing for the Beth Moore conference in Little Rock this weekend; helping our pastor's wife put together a fun devotional for us to do at the hotel, turning the conference into a mini-women's-retreat for the 15 ladies that will be attending from our church! Getting ready to begin the Bible study 'No Other Gods'
