Welcome to my little writing corner. I count my many blessings to be a cherished wife and an ever-learning-loving-growing mother to 3 amazing children this side of Heaven and a precious little boy in Heaven. Together as a family we pastor a precious church community called Redeeming Hope Church. I've had the privilege of loving and following Jesus Christ since my earliest memories as a child. No matter what I've gone through in life, He has always been so present. At heart, I'm an encourager ... so this is a place where I get to wear my heart on my sleeve and share my journey of learning to live a life of love in action.

What's in the jar??? A closer look at our little visitor :0)

It seems like my "Wordless Wednesday" needed some words after all. hee hee.
Hubby bought us a new bird feeder. Much to the girls delight, it seems to have a massive flaw. They never counted on the birds being small enough to burrow under the seeds and get trapped inside the actual feeder. Thank goodness we haven't had any "casualties" ;0) The girls love setting these little birds free after getting to hold them and inspect them up close. Here's a closer look at our little visitor ...
Looking at these little birds up close reminds my heart how BIG God really is. The Bible tells us that not one little bird falls to the ground without Him knowing about it and caring. He provides for their care and provision each day. We discovered these little birds live in a big old tree a couple of blocks away from our house. My husband saw hundreds of them flying in and out of this tree while walking the dog the other day. How amazing that God showed them where a little place of daily provision could be found over at our house. They come throughout the day to "top up" on food much to our delight. Now if God can direct these tiny little creatures so accurately to a place of blessing and a haven of delights ... how much more does He not care about what is going on in your life today. Be encouraged that He cares and knows exactly how to lead and guide you in the way of peace and overflowing blessing today. This is the same Jesus who says in John 10:10 "I have come that you may have life and have it to the full" (NIV version). All He's waiting for is for you to ask. Each day He offers us all the peace and provision we could ever need in Him. His love offers you that haven today.  
All my love xxx

Reasons to Celebrate

I am quickly typing this in between trying to pack up for Cape, and while packing I am having this to celebrate :0) What to celebrate you may ask ... well you would be amazed at how many amazing blessings you will discover of how good God has been to you when you start looking back and remembering what He has walked you through. Today I am celebrating many wonderful things! I am celebrating how no matter how dark certain moments have appeared to be, His light has ALWAYS broken through!!! Hope & Love have ALWAYS overcome the deepest of fears.  I am celebrating the precious family He has surrounded Brett and I with and the amazing friends and loved ones who have cheered us on and been praying us through.

We are Seeing the Miracles Unfold!

Precious friends and family ... we are starting to see the miracles unfold! We just KNOW that we are living in the miracle :0) Yesterday we had a scan with the specialist who discovered and diagnosed all of Zac's heart defects in August. It's been about 6 weeks since the day we heard the horrible news. As you may remember, the defects she discovered that day in "that" heart were so complex ... not only one defect, but multiple! There was the issue of only 1 chamber; only seeing one major valve from the heart to the lungs where there must be 2 and then the complication of not being able to clearly see the arch of the aorta. What she saw of it, as well as  several other specialists, it looked too narrow and underdeveloped from what we could understand. When we came back from that first scan and spoke with our friend and paediatrician ... this was one of his biggest concerns. The aortic arch is so important in the functioning of the heart!  So before we went for the...

The Day of Promise has Arrived

Precious friends ... The big day has finally arrived! Come 4pm today we will be taken into theater to meet our precious miracle son! Our hearts are filled with the Promises of our Beloved Jesus. This post is our hearts response of praise and adoration to Him because He has faithfully carried us through each day with "heart peace", strength, hope, faith and incredible love. He has coached us in how to stand leaning into His Almighty power, wisdom and goodness and has taken all the fear out of this journey. Today our hearts are soooooo excited. It is the day of promise ... Zac's appointed day to shine forth His Glory. As a family we want to thank each and every person and family who has lavished their love, encouragement and prayers to stand with us in looking to Jesus, the Great Physician in knitting Zac's inward parts intricately and wholly in my womb. We will keep you posted as we rejoice in great expectation at witnessing God's amazing love in action! Our eyes...
