Jesus is so big !

It is funny that so many times in life I have"looked" for things that I call "Jesus with skin on stuff"...sorta like the "writing in the clouds etc.", well being the very kenistetic learner that I am, the Lord has reveled himself in many ways to me over the years....oddly enough, one time it was even on a really foggy day, on the front step, sitting by a spider web, yes that is when I knew once again the Lord has a sense of humor...anyhow;
But I woke up today, worried again...man I suck...and the Lord said to me, "read and pray". So I went and picked up my bible...thinking, so.... I need to reread Phil 4..(which is what we are working on for church right now)....hmmmm...so I read it and cried...I became flat on the floor and cried out and prayed..not just for Macee but for so many things...it was a powerful time in prayer...the Lord told me to "eat my words"...of course in a nicer way than that. You see Phil 4 is my life chapter and my life verse that I have spoken during darkness and joy, not to just myself but to others is Phil 4:8...wow...I needed that today...and it spoke to me...no matter what, no matter what...our Lord is praise worthy....
Other "Jesus with skin on situations"...you have to know me well to understand the meaning in some of it...
*Last night a friend gave me a verse..."No weapons formed against Macee shall prosper"...well guess what folks...guess what the name "Macee Donna" means "Weapons Lady"...hummm, she has been a fighter since the first second....the neo icu nurses called her tenacious....
*I saw two hawks today after not seeing them for about 2 months.
*I was walking through a store I often visit, and as I was walking around I was starting to get worried...I told the Lord how sorry I was for that and that no matter what I trusted him...even with Macee, I looked up and there was a stone rock wall hanging...that simply said "Believe in miracles"...
*Macee prayed tonight and thanked God that the "bumps" on her face are going away...man, that makes a momma cry....
*An amazing husband who loves me.
*great family who prays for us.
*a sweetheart named Madison, who as we were leaving the other night said to Macee "I will be saying a little prayer for you tonight Macee"...she is 3 years old....tears came to my eyes...
*a great day, with great friends, good night sleep etc.
*Amazing grace
*knowing that this is not the worst thing that I could ever go through...
*Making sure that no matter what I get my head out of the sand and stand obedient and praise my God, no matter what...he is honorable and worthy of all praise !

Placing our children in God's hands can be the hardest job we will ever have. Don't be too hard on yourself when the fear talks to you. The thing about motherhood is we never get to the place that we no longer have to place them in His hands so it's best to get in the habit early. Jesus loves Macee far more than you do. He will take care of her. Trust in His promises and like you I can testify - He has never let me down. My prayers are with you all.

We sang a song at Church today and it made me think of you.
"In that Rock I'll abide, under His shadow I will hide and when the storms of life come sweeping over me. In that Rock I'll abide." Jesus loves our loved ones more than we could possible understand or comprehend. Abide in the Rock and we will all be praying for your family
