To Know & To Be Known

Wow, I need to get better at blogging.  It's been a while.  There's so much that the Lord puts on our hearts to write about but so little time...Lord carve out the time to write it all down.

Our tender Lord continues to show His face to us through our children and we are getting wrecked day by day.  Lately for me it's the daily humbling of myself to find myself on my knees in front of my children asking for their forgiveness.  Should it really be so hard to swallow our pride even in front of our own children?!  But even then again, before I even have the words of "I'm sorry," out of my mouth, Amelie is already climbing into my lap ready to hug me and cover my face with kisses in mercy and grace.  Is this not the face of God?  It certainly is...

With Noelle, it's been a reminder of how much she needs us, loves us and wants for us to love her back.  We want the same thing with God by experiencing His goodness and grace and in return always saying, "we love you, we love you God...!"  There is also a time when we graduate from that when we are rooted and grounded in His love and confident of our identity in Him and we cry out, "you love me, you love me God!  The profound revelation of this is what I want for all of you and our children.
