Do you read me?

So. I was sorta' wondering. Wondering not Wandering. Or maybe both. I mean, they both involve the mind, right? Okay. Back to planet earth.


I just read a book called, "Heaven is for REAL." Best book ever.  Okay, so one of the best books ever. Or at least that I have read. When I was reading this book about a little boy, four years old, nearly died, fearless little dude...well, you'll just have to read it and fall apart yourself.  


This child. Child. Said he "sat on Jesus' lap". Whoa? Or at least that was my response. If you haven't read this book. Then you should DEFINITELY read this four year old, little boy's journey to Heaven and Back. 


There were a few things in this book that are just gut wrenching, he talks about how "beautiful", Jesus is. 
He talks about how "much" Jesus, loves KIDS.  He says, "Dad, GOD is just SO big!" But doesn't say he saw God's face (unlike Jesus', in which he says he saw). He explains that he didn't get sword because "God thought it would be better that I didn't for now".  This little boy and his simplicity in the way he Explains his journey to Heaven is so amazing to me. He doesn't forget. He doesn't stutter. Or say "oh wait dad, i meant this"! 


Oh. My. Goodness. This story is just. Well. Un-real. But it is real. I guess that was my question though. What do you think, is Heaven for real? 


God. He is a mystery. A mystery I want to unfold. 


Anyways. This book took me on a journey. Spun my head around and around and around. Made my heart pound. Eyes water. And my outlook on Heaven so much more...well fearless? 


Anyway. I hope I didn't bore you.


Oh and tomorrow is Sunday. In case you didn't know. 


well. this is the end...for now.

Super...

...man. You know. The guy in blue tights with the red cape and cool slick hair.

I almost bought a vintage Superman chalk board (I know, cool right?), vintage superman comics and not to mention a superman wig! Okay so I am just kidding about the wig. 


See, Superman is sorta' my make believe friend.

                                       Cool right? 

I haven't met this kid but he is already a favorite.
                                      So you've seen my love for the pretend, Superman. 


 Okay so,I saw this picture and it totally read my mind or maybe I read it's mind? Wait... But really


I'm glad Super-Jesus saved me instead of my pretend friend Mr.Superman here. 
Jesus is pretty Super.

He's definitely more than a bird  or a plane.

i hope you are having a great super week!

my Friend God

Yeah, He's pretty great.
But...I know I said, But. 
I don't always understand Him. Okay. So most of the time I don't... are we a floatin' in the same boat? Or am I sinkin' alone? Either way, it's all good. Because Jesus yeah well...he's got my whole world in His hands whether I understand it or not. Still it's easier said than what, DONE. That's right, it's easier said then done. That's why he sends me little messages like "I No" Meaning "I know" written to my hand, from my blood veins. Truth be told. 
Little (big) things like that, that just knock your socks off are the things I remember in the long run. Not all my LITTLE problems that seem so big. He always fills in my blanks like no body's business...in His own secretive way and not so secretive way.


Like this little girl and God.           Her name is Kristen. 
We share Him. 
She calls Him "My Friend God". 
"Kristen believes that people are either close to God. . . like George Washington, who never told a lie. . . or they just don't know about God yet. . . like cattle rustlers . . . or burglars, who steal things that don't belong to them.". I want to be like George Washington. What about you?
My favorite part.
After she broke her little arm she said a prayer...
"God. . .You are my life. . ." she said. "You love me. . . Even if all the blood runs out. . . You are my life. Even if I went in the den of lions with Daniel. . . You are my life. . . and I love You."
She said... "and I love You"...
Eventhough He allowed her to break  her arm. Eventhough she didn't understand why. She still said...I love You.

 God put a smile on my face as I was listening to this deep voiced "God and me" singin' dude.


We're like two peas in pod. Sometimes we're more like... two pickles in a pocket. 


You are my Life.
You have my Heart. 
You took the Blame.
You made me New.


And I sincerely...love You.


I hope you know He Sincerely loves you back.

Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory!

After all He did DIE for US. 


I can't believe I have a Jesus who, Died for me. Forgave/Forgives me. Loves me even though I Screw up  repeatedly. He made me. forgave me. loves me. treasures me. But the thing that really really really gets me, He Died for me. DIED. You know like gave His life for me. Okay. I'm sorry...I'm an overreacter. Although. I can totally overreact about this. Yes. Yes I can. You want to know why? Okay. Because it's a Big Deal. Ya know those t-shirts that say "Not a Big Deal"? God totally is a big deal. Do you not agree? It's okay if you don't...I won't hurt you. 


Christ is Risen. He died for me and You. He rose again. And He's comin' for us! 


That's what this week is all about. Easter is all about. I mean sure...there's candy (but by the end of the day you feel like you are ready to pass out because you've eaten so much). And fellowship. (Great reason to get together and well...fellowship). Grateful hearts. Smiling faces. And let's not forget Happy kids with Chocolate faces! No I am not talking about me...okay so maybe I was just a little. 


I hope ya'll have a Happy Easter. 


While we're all chowin' down on candy. Take a listen...i mean...if you wanna'.

Did I tell you...



That's right folks, I am one of those chicks. Ya know...the kind that is obsessed with anything and everything vintage. 

Okay...is it just me or is this not filled with treasure?

Um...yes this may be my wedding gown.

I know...I am just dreaming.
Oh and when I'm not wearing rubber boots I imagine I am wearing these...
I know...I dream big. But really this will be my kitchen someday...
Simply...Lovely.

I am so glad my Jesus treasures me.  
Even if my plans go astray and my dreams I treasure fade away... Still I am yours.

Do you ever feel like...

...You could just use a big ole' hug from Jesus? Yeah? Well that's totally me today. 


He's hugged my heart. 

I hope you are having a huggable day! Or in other words, a good day.

Did I mention...

...Rain boots are the only things my feet wear? 


...Love is a beautiful thing? Whether it's Big or Little


...Raindrops make the sunshine look good.


...The beach is a wonderful place.


...My heart is content in knowing, My life rests in the Hands of Jesus. Because Jesus yeah, He's got the whole world in his hands.  


...I am very blessed.


...I like Blue doors? Oh and Red...but mainly blue.


...The love Jesus shows is incomparable.


...Happy days are my favorite.


...But really, all of these things are just a bonus in this short life that I am living. I am in awe of the Jesus I am getting to know...He's even kinda' funny.


 I think personally just like I fell in love with these few things...Falling in love with Jesus is just how it should be. I mean seriously, I betcha' He even has great hair.
