and in that moment you find peace

As I sit in our basement tonight, just finished watching "You've Got Mail" with my daughter, there is a peace that is sitting here with me. Jesus!!! He is my peace. I don't always feel at peace about everything in my life but pressing into him, through prayer, God brings us to a peace. I was thinking of a line in a movie where the son comes in to talk to his father - it's a quiet morning and the father says "there are times in life when everyone is good, the family is happy, the business is going well and everything is good - and in that moment you find peace." To which the son says "this isn't that moment dad."

I think in life we are always looking for peace. People run around with the business of their life, work, kids, diapers, practices...whatever it may be and peace seems to elude so many of us. But you know what I think the problem is? Getting too busy for your relationship with Jesus. Too busy to spend time with him, too busy to pray, too busy to read his word. It can even be that we just don't want to or know how to have a relationship with Jesus.

Lately my prayer life has not been what it should. I've spent time in the word but my time in prayer seeking the face of Jesus has been poor. I am so thankful that my husband asked me direct "How is your prayer time?" Wow I needed to hear that. It's no wonder I have felt the enemy attack me lately with a number of things. I let down my guard and he got in. Praise Jesus that he always comes to the rescue.

His Spirit in me is just the best.

Have you felt weak lately? Call out to Jesus. He is there waiting for you - longing for you - loving you - longing for you to let him lead you - so let it all go and give it all to him.

SMILE :) JESUS ADORES YOU!

p.s. All of my girls were home last week for my birthday. What a gift from God. Note that in this picture emily just flew in from CA on a red eye and is sick and Nicole was up at 5am with a toddler to pick her up at the airport. Some tired faces but sisters in love.
