Bask in His Presence

Sometimes I get those moments when I just get overwhelmed by my girls. It is in those moments that I just miss them so much. Sometimes I read posts/comments that they make to each other on facebook and it brings so much joy to my heart as I can read the love they have for one another. Sometimes they are simple - but filled with love. This morning I saw a picture of Denise & Mike with Emily & Jon.
Written under the picture was:
(Emily to Denise)
Yay for such a happy picture.
Denise.
I think we look like sisters.

(Denise back to Emily)
wow...our husbands our cute..

Not far down was a post from Nicole:
Nicole Bickel Thayer WE'RE HAVING A FUNDRAISER FOR MIKE AND DENISE ON APRIL 17TH! PLEASE CALL ME FOR INFORMATION

Denise Bickel Murphy - ahhhhhh.........I LOVE YOU SISTER!!

And of course Angela who mixes in beautifully in all of this.

Sometimes I wonder why God blessed me so much. Sometimes I wonder why I ever have times of doubting, anything and I want to shout from the rooftop that Jesus is super great and he wants to have a relationship with you. Not just a "hi" now and then but a serious, personal, intimate and loving relationship. I could not have the loving personal relationships with my girls if I hadn't spent time with them. With three of them moved away our relationships stand because of the time we have invested in each other.

Isaiah says: "My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you." He clearly knows what a personal relationship with his creator looks like.

Jesus longs for time with us. He longs for us to stop what we are doing and be with him. For me I find it helpful to close my eyes and just think about him. Not really saying much but basking in his presence. Close your eyes right now as you listen to this song and ask Jesus to just wash over you with his presence. he is totally and passionately in love with you.
