Beach Bums and Weekday Encouragement

The kids and I are at the beach this week.  My sister invited us, my mom, my aunt, my cousin and her three kiddies to join her and her daughter at their vacation home by the beach.  We will be busy swimming, making sand castles,  playing mini golf and just being together so I may not have the opportunity to post much this week.


I did want to take a moment to encourage you to head over to Inspired to Action to jump into the series on Motherhood and Identity.  I've mentioned Kat's fantastic blog here before- you won't want to miss her thought (and those of her readers in the comments) on this topic.  I'm still working on developing a healthy balance in this area myself and it is encouraging to hear other women's stories.

Praying the Psalms- Psalm 24

Jenny has begun a journey of praying her way through the Psalms that I have decided to join. Each weekend, we will pray through one psalm and post our prayer and/or meditations on that psalm as the Lord leads. Check out her journey and join us in Praying the Psalms.


Psalm 24


Can we expect the full answer to this question this side of Heaven?  Who is this King of Glory?  Glory?


John Piper says that ... "God's glory is the radiance of his holiness, the radiance of his manifold, infinitely worthy and valuable perfections."


Easton's Bible Dictionary defines glory as, among other things, "...the glorious moral attributes, the infinite perfections of God. Jesus is the "brightness of the Father's glory."


And I am sure they are right.  And I am sure they are only partially so.  For how could our human minds ever fully comprehend He who owns everything, made everything?


Knowing God is of infinite importance to us, for through this knowledge of Him, He gives us everything we need for life and godliness.  So I certainly study Him and how He has revealed Himself through His Word.  And, by His grace, I do have a theological understanding of who He is and who I am and how He has vindicated me and saved me.  


But when I read Psalm 24, I cannot help but get lost in the last few verses:
"Who is this King of glory?
       The LORD strong and mighty,
       the LORD mighty in battle.

 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
       lift them up, you ancient doors,
       that the King of glory may come in.

 Who is he, this King of glory?
       The LORD Almighty—
       he is the King of glory."
       Ps 24: 8-10
Yes, I know who He is, this King of Glory.  But one day I will see Him face to face and only then will I really know the Lord Almighty.  Until that day, I offer Him my awe, wonder and worship.

Just Love Him

I've been struggling with one of my children lately.  The one I often struggle with.  The serious, intense one.  The strong willed, independent one.  The deep, wildly intelligent but often negative one.  He has always been this way.  From birth, he was high needs, unable to soothe himself, unable to settle down for naps.  I've been trying to train him, to mold and shape him, to successfully exert my authority over him since almost that time.  And it's still not working.

I've tried reasoning, schedules, positive reinforcement, rewards, consequences, punishments.  I pray with and for him.  My husband sees the issues and the need for some change and growth in our son.  But he has always also encouraged me to accept some of his idiosyncrasies.  "This is who he is- how he was made" he tells me time and again.

Lately, when I pray for him, I have been hearing the Lord whispering, "Love him.  Just love him."  I do love him, Lord.  Of course, I love him!  And He whispers it again, "Love him.  Just love him."  I know what He is calling me to do.  I am not sure how to do it, though.  To let go of my agenda and my goals and my control.  To overlook the little infractions and just show him mercy and compassion and grace.  To shower him with love and affection and encouragement whenever there is an opportunity.  To focus in on the few important things for discipline and let the rest go uncorrected for now.  To value relationship over rules, his heart over his behavior.    

Just as He does for me.  Daily.  Hourly.  Some days, moment by moment.  He laid down His life for me while I was yet a sinner!  It's His goodness that leads me to repentance.  Not His law.  His law makes me feel inadequate and unworthy.  His love, His goodness inspire me.  It's because of these that I follow Him and wait expectantly to be conformed to His image.  This is how He wants me to lead my boy.  This is how I must encourage righteousness in him.

This kind of love does not come naturally to me.  In my flesh.  Without His Spirit, I am impatient and unkind, envious, boastful and proud, rude, self seeking and easily angered.  I keep a record of wrongs and silence the truth.  I do not protect or trust or have hope or persevere.  But in Him, I am a new creation.  I have His nature and this love can flow out of me.

I need only to abide in Him.  Instead, I have been abiding in my plans to change my boy.  I have put my trust and confidence and hope in the charts and systems and consequences I dream up.  And I have come to the end of myself.  I am ready to "just love him."  I am trusting Him to strengthen my resolve in the moments when the "loving" feels counterintuitive to discipline.  When it's inconvenient or embarrassing to "love him," I am expecting He will give me the grace.  I am anticipating that He will show me how to "just love him."

And when I feel the anger rise within me, I will lay it at His feet.  When my pride is bruised because of an embarrassing moment, I will cry out to Him for reassurance.  When I am tired and anxious and confused, I will cast the burden on Him, the One who cares for me.

Will I get it right everytime?  No.  Will there be an overnight transformation in my boy?  Probably not.  Will I stumble and fall?  For sure.  But bringing my will into alignment with His in this matter is an act of obedience that is long overdue from me.  So, that's all I am requiring of myself at this point.

And I am leaving the results to Him.  My boy is really not mine at all anyway, but His.

Things I NEVER Thought I'd Say to My Children

  • Please take your butt out of your sister's face.
  • Don't keep stabbing someone after you've killed them.  It's not nice.
  • Give that back to your sister, please.  No, it's not finders keepers.  That's not how we operate here.  This is not The Lord of the Flies.
What crazy things have you been saying to your children lately?

Blogger...Grr!

Does anyone know how to get the Pages feature centered under the Blog Title?  It is driving me crazy that it is left justified!  I have tried to move it, resize it, etc but it will not work.  I see it centered on other blogs so there must be a way!  Why does this bother me enough to write a blog post about?  I don't know.  Welcome to my own special blend of crazy :p  Advice very much appreciated!

Summer's Here and Here's the Plan!

I finally finished up our Summer of Purpose plans and it's a good thing since summer vacation arrived last Thursday :)  I am sure we will end up tweaking and/or abandoning the schedules all together some days to have some unscheduled fun but it helps me to know what the rhythm of our days will feel like.  And writing it all out helps to keep me accountable as we work on our goals. There is one last thing I need to work out and that is my time to think, plan, write, dream.  For the summer, that may have to be one evening a week but I am committed to making room for it!

Praying the Psalms- Psalm 23

Jenny has begun a journey of praying her way through the Psalms that I have decided to join. Each weekend, we will pray through one psalm and post our prayer and/or meditations on that psalm as the Lord leads. Check out her journey and join us in Praying the Psalms.


Psalm 23


I have been rather unsettled these past few weeks.  They have been a whirlwind of activity- what with school, baseball and other extra curricular activities coming to a close.  It is with bittersweet wonder that I watch my school age children excel and grow and move from grade to grade.  Of course, we are so blessed and thankful that they are doing just that.  At the same time, it is sad to see chapters closing in their little lives.  Looking forward to our Summer of Purpose, of course I am excited.  It is hard not to be when the little ones' joy is so palpable.  If I am being honest, though, I also have some anxiety about it.  The days can be long and we sometimes become short with one another.  And when it gets hot out,  we often get bothered with one another.  I feel the pressure of entertaining and discipling and teaching my three children full time while still maintaining the house, the errands, the demands of my work.


So amidst my feelings of bittersweet wonder, thankfulness and blessing, sadness, excitement, joy, anxiety and pressure, I read Psalm 23.  Arguably one of the most widely know pieces of Scripture, I knew just what I was sitting down to read.  I was hoping all the feelings would resolve themselves as the healing balm of God's Word was poured out on them.  But, I remained as unsettled after I read the psalm as I was before.  So, I read it in 6 other translations.  Still unsettled.  


Maybe there is a problem with my faith?  Maybe I do not believe that the Lord is my shepherd?  If I did then certainly I would be feeling better, no?  As I fret about this possibility, His Spirit brings one of my very favorites pieces of Scripture to remembrance:
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1
Yes, Lord, I am sure of what I hope for and certain of what I do not see.  My hope is built on nothing less than You Jesus and Your righteousness.  It is not built on feelings of the relief thereof.  It is built on You and what You have told me through Your Word.  I am certain of what I do not see, Father.  I am certain that You are God and there is none like You.  I am certain that You are my shepherd and that You will put my heart and mind to rest in Your time.    I am convinced "that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  I will not let my feelings be my lord.  Only You, O God, only You.  In Jesus' name, amen.

Summer Reads

I am so excited that my love for reading has been revived recently.  I've been busy planning our Summer of Purpose and when I read this post on High Calling Blogs, I decided it would be fun to compile a reading list for myself!

Here is what I plan to fill my reading basket with:
Life of Washington 
Life of Washington by Anna Reed
I've just started this amazing biography of our founding father written by his niece.  It is riveting so far and a beautiful book to look at as well.

Outrageous Grace: A Story of Tragedy and Forgiveness 
Outrageous Grace: A Story of Tragedy and Forgiveness by Grace Fabian
The memoir of a missionary wife whose husband was murdered in the mission field in Papua, New Guinea.  It tells the story of how she and her four children carried on with God and His plan through their pain, grief and disorientation.

Billy Graham: His Life and Influence by David Aikman
This is my current Book Sneeze selection.  I'm looking forward to it as I love biographies and who doesn't love Billy Graham?


Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community 
Life Together:  The Classic Exploration of Faith in Communtiy by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and
Love Letters from Cell 92: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Maria von Wedemeyer, 1943-45 
Love Letters from Cell 92 by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Maria von Wedemeyer
I so enjoyed reading about the life and legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy that I was inspired to read at least one of his original works as well as the love letters he exchanged with his fiance from a Nazi jail cell.

This selection fits right in with my intention to slow down and take better care of myself.  I hope it will help me transfer intentions into reality!

Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream 
Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt
I think my faith could use the good shaking up this book promises!  Just as these two books did, I hope Radical will bring a God-perspective to my walk.


The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life 
The Right to Write by Julia Cameron
Blogging has reignited my love of writing and reading!  I love the creative and intellectual outlet it offers.  I think this book will help me nurture and grow my writing.


Believing God: Member Book 
Believing God by Beth Moore
I have actually done this study twice already but it is so rich that I feel led to do it again.  It will be my summer devotional!

Multitude Monday




holy experience

The brevity of my list this weeks reflects the hectic state of affairs here with just a handful of days left of school and baseball.  I am looking forward to slower days in which I can linger on all of His countless gifts!  Here are some of the things I was thankful for this week:

  • 443. Sunday night prayer
  • 442. Sunday afternoon fellowship
  • 441. Family BBQ with dear friends
  • 440. Nursing my 9 year old's sprained ankle back to health
  • 439. Third Grade Field Day!
  • 438. Making the time to think, plan, dream, create
  • 437. Third grade Mom's/Teacher's Night Out
  • 436. I am given complete access to God
  • 435. I am given the grace of God

Praying the Psalms- Psalm 22

Jenny has begun a journey of praying her way through the Psalms that I have decided to join. Each weekend, we will pray through one psalm and post our prayer and/or meditations on that psalm as the Lord leads. Check out her journey and join us in Praying the Psalms.


Psalm 22


All's quiet for a brief moment here.  Boys at baseball and little girl entertained.  I turn the pages to Psalm 22.  By verse 13, I am overcome.  I must stop reading to worship.  I let the words transport me to the place He is now, the place He was before.  It's where I prefer to think of Him.  Magnified, glorified, all powerful.  


I remember that "Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."  My sins are  the reason He went to the cross.  His love is why He endured it.  I am the joy that was set before Him.  I am His inheritance.   


I cannot ignore the cross and its shame.  I must remember Christ and Him crucified.  I return to the Psalm.  I read on through the verses, cringing at the physical pain and emotional humiliation endured...14, 15, 16, 17, 18.  Rejoicing begins in verse 19 when the psalmist remembers the truth, that He is not afar off.  All the wrongs will one day be righted.  


Jesus, help me to fix my eyes on You, the author and perfecter of my faith.  Empower me, for the joy set before me, to endure my crosses.  In Your name, amen.

And the Winner Is...

Relevant Bound!

I'm not entirely sure but I think I registered for The Relevant Conference before I even published a single blog post.  If it was not before my first post, then it was soon after!  I couldn't help myself once I knew my two favorite bloggers in the blogosphere- Ann Voskamp and Angie Smith- were going to be speaking at the conference.  I asked my dear, IRL and online friend, Andrea if she would be interested in going together and when she enthusiastically agreed, we signed up on the day registration opened!

I am so excited for this conference!  Since registering, I have checked out the blogs of all the other speakers and many of the attendees as well.  I know it will be a blessing to learn from the speakers and attendees.   Gather Inspirit, whose vision is to "simply to inspire, encourage and uplift all bloggers in their journey and in life" has also helped me get to know many of the attendees.

I must admit, I have also had some anxiety about the conference since I am new to blogging and don't have a big "following" as it seems many of the attendees do.  I've wondered if it is the right place for a small voice like mine whose intent is simply to reflect on my walk with the Lord and live in community with others who love Him and read and comment here.  When the session topics were released, my anxiety was relieved as I realized they really do apply to all kinds of bloggers.  Oh and there's this!  Chocolate has always relieved my anxieties before so if I need an emergency fix, I'll be all set at Relevant ;)
"The Relevant Conference exists to offer a place of face to face interaction with Christian women bloggers who want to be relevant in the larger blog and social media world. Our goal is to go beyond the surface into intentional blogging and real life living. We support women turning their hearts toward home and using their blogs to bless their families while also engaging the world for the glory of God. Relevant is a one-of-a-kind conference that seeks to engage women by teaching blogging techniques and social media skill while also urging and encouraging women to live fully integrated lives with their faith and family."
 Won't you join me at Relevant?

More Progress on Our Summer of Purpose


Since I last blogged about our summer plans, I have finalized plans for two family getaways, signed up the kids for two VBS weeks (one at our church and one at our school), chosen Five In a Row (FIAR) as our guide for Growing in Wisdom, decided on a Bible Reading Schedule for the boys, brainstormed a list of field trips and activities, tweaked the daily schedule, began working on a weekly schedule and talked with the boys about our theme verse to get their input and ideas.  Below I've scratched out my additions and tweaks, linking to some ideas I found on Kat's blog- Inspired to Action.  (Last week got by without my time to think, plan, write, dream so I made sure to take 90 minutes to work on this on Monday morning- no easy task as the frenzy of the end of the school year has begun.  But as I am endeavoring to make self care a priority, I simply scheduled the time in and the work had to wait!)

"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."  Luke 2:52
