• God Speaking

  Half way through another week. :) So far its been a good week I must say. The weather today was incredible. The fall colors are so pretty right now, and finally it was warm enough to be outside to enjoy it.

  Taylor went to church with some friends tonight, that was fun for her and it gave us a nice little break. Shes been all about church lately. Its really been a "fresh wind" around here. I won't say I've completely lost touch with God... but we hadn't been going to church and some of the basics started to fall away... and life just kind of went on that way... and it wasn't like "bad" things were happening, but some of my thoughts and emotions weren't of God. I wasn't fulfilled I guess you could say, stressed out and not finding relief or the downtime I was needing.

  Taylor randomly started bugging us about going to church, it was a Monday afternoon on the way home from dance and she just started rambling on about needing to go to church. Yeah Yeah. So we went. And it was good. But a few weeks before this she grabbed a Bible off of the bookshelf from downstairs and brought it upstairs. Its been sitting on the end table at the chair where I rock Carolina, so I often find myself just picking it up and reading. The Bible Taylor brought up isnt even "my" Bible, so I don't think she even knew what she grabbed. I think to her it was just one of "Mommy's books."

  God has definitely been speaking to me through my children, and I love it. I really do. I think so often he tries and his voice gets shushed out by the day to day business. That or excuses get made, thats coincidence, God really doesnt have anything to do with this.... and his efforts fail because Im too DUMB to get the message.

  But when hes in my child's heart, and my child comes to me with a passion for God... I get that. I really really get that. And its like "Wow Leigha, where have you been?"

  Incidently, the first sermon we caught was about a topic Andrew and I have been discussing and debating for a LONG time, and it was so personal that I know I was called there on that day, and that he used Taylor Joyce to do it.

  So thats life these days. :)

  Oh and the newest Postsecret book has been impacting me lately as well.

  Its called "Confessions on Life, Death and God"
  I think it should be Confessions OF Life Death and God.

  I love the book.
