Sharing My Heart

Have you heard the song 'Our God Is Love' by Hillsong Live? It is most fabulous!! I first heard this song in church a couple weeks ago, it rocks. I believe it should be appreciated very loudly and while dancing. That's pretty much me and my personality riiiight there.

My hubby and I had date night last night and I love his company, he is easily my most favorite human. I'm very thankful to God for him. It's funny that we aren't tourists here, that's going to take some time to get used to. This is home!! =) We had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe and I got to share my most favorite book store in the world with him... the Powerplant Barnes and Noble. I felt like I was sharing more of myself with him, after 12 years together there is still so much to explore. Before children I worked for a company that would send us to Baltimore every October. I had many treasured memories here and always wanted to share it with Steve. I'm always aware of the unspoken prayers of my heart and that they too get answered. I'm so in love with God, He shows me daily how well He knows me.

I had a very sweet experience last night. When we moved here, one of the first things on my agenda (besides finding my hair straightener) was to hire a babysitter. We found one that my children *adore*. She is very good to them and also balances out the snacks and doesn't turn on the TV. But I didn't know her faith and I didn't ask. My son has an ability to discern people's spirits very quickly. I want to be more like him, I get hung up on words and appearances too often. He warmed up to her immediately, and while I was hesitant I figured I'd see where this went. Up to last night we didn't discuss Jesus, I got the feeling that she was putting some space between us and it was a boundary not to cross, so I didn't. But. Don't you love God??? When she was leaving last night she said 'Oh by the way, Zachary asked me to say his prayers with him...?' It was more a question and I was touched by the sleeping child upstairs. That request by him led to a great discussion between she and I about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. She loves God, but has many, many questions and while she knows He hears her, she doesn't think He talks back. We talked in my driveway last night for over an hour and my heart was soaring with love this sweet young lady. As gently as possible I was encouraging her to talk to God and give Him all of her questions and listen for Him. I'm so very excited for her!!! She has the opportunity to have a *great* walk with her creator if she wants one. I'm praying with joy for her!
