The Color of LOVE

My three gifts on the right with their cousin totally captivated by bursts of wonderful color the light has revealed. Just as I am captivated by them, learning more of God's love for us all.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Genesis 1:3

What is color if not fragments of light? My children have been painted by the Master with different shades of His Light.

The call to be colored blind misses God's beauty of creation and purpose. Part of HIM. I ask myself, Do I miss Him all around me? Do I merely see His outline? Do I only look for the outline of others, even my loved ones? Am I reflecting Him? Do I love as HE does?

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5;4

Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Last Task of Moving Forward

"Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." Genesis 12:1

Do you ever WANT to leave when God calls you too? I am not a beauty when it comes to this type of godly obedience. So why am I shocked my daughter is traumatized? Many changes and losses were experienced in our family. My daughter's world was rocked. Namely lifestyle and location.

My original homeschooling plan this year was NOT the Lords. It took me some time to get on His Page for Little Mommy, as she is nick named. His plan was far better and met her needs in this season. She is wonderful. What could have been permanent problems with her character have been redeemed. How my heart is thankful.

However, I am at a loss in putting together an impressive portfolio for her pending evaluation. That is my problem and one my heart will feel freedom ring again once it is behind me. How do you document God's Plan that looks foolish to the world?

The blessings of homeschooling no longer need to be explained or defended to any of our extended family. In fact some of the biggest critics now pay my so called salary with their support emotionally and financially. They have been the Lord's hands and feet on this mission field.

So I will remember HIS constant faithfulness and that HE has a plan. All i am to do is believe and participate in it. The portfolio is really His concern.

"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
Genesis 12:3
So I'm off to compiling Little Mommy's Portfolio!

On The Pilgrim Path

Pieces of my life scattered along the pilgrim's path left for others to find. May the crumbs bring HIM glory.

"I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put in shame." Zephaniah 3:19

About myself: I am a stumbling Christ Follower that loves Him with all my heart. Long time married to my high school sweetheart and the mommy of three treasures. I love the Word but forget it at times. The Lord called me to homeschool when my son was three. Graduating this year he will be going to Bible College out of state. I am going to miss him like part of my heart is cut out. I am so proud of him and thankful to God's faithfulness completing what HE set out for me. BY FAITH is all it was. Remaining in our home are two beautiful daughters, eight and two. So it is a bit like starting all over again. This time hopefully, there won't be any dead animals in pockets! The mission is up and running! Grace and peace to you all.
