Becca's Random Moments

The burning desire to blog.........How the Times have changed. Must find the time to do what I love and that is to write. Now to find that little hint of inspiration again! Time to set my soul on fire and let the words come out!

  Women, one of God’s most precious creations. We are complicated. We are loved. We are complex. We are women. We want to connect yet we let no one in. We are judged yet we judge. Perhaps we are our own worst critics. We want more, but we cant have more. We strive to succeed and be what we want yet it is never enough. We want to connect with other women yet we shut them out. We strive for Unity yet Satan is always in the way. “Be still and know that I am with you” say it again and again. I yell God where are you and He says nothing or does He? He whispers ever so softly shhhhh my child just listen, you will know someday. Shhhh my child just Be still and know that I am with you!  God, this is not what I want, this is not what I want to be doing. God why aren't you here and listening? Why aren't you telling me the words I need to hear? Why aren't you giving me the words to say? I am quiet God and I am listening. What is it you so want me to hear? He whispers shh Be still and...

We just read a chapter in a book on Grace. I love God’s grace and always talk about it and what not. I love how this book took some things and put them in a perspective way better than I ever can. Oh wait it is a book after all and he is an author also all of which I am not. Then I heard this song for the first time. It is the most beautiful song. Hillsong United “Like and Avalanche” all I have to say is this…….                       Beautiful God,            I find myself here on my knees again, caught up in grace like an avalanche. Nothing compares to this love, love, love burning in my heart!!! Check out the song. It has a strong message and is amazing at that!

Another beautiful morning here in Western Washington! God is gracing us with his everlasting presence. The sunset is beautiful and the weather is mild. What more can we ask for? Well, okay, really don’t answer that!! My last couple of days has surely brought thoughts to my head and the one thought that sticks over and over again is, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. As I say that over and over it keeps coming up in daily life. It was in a movie I watched the other day and today on Facebook it was on someone's status. So I recite it a lot right now. There are more but as for now I have to get some kiddos off to school. Thoughts to ponder today: You can do all things through Him who strengthens you! Go about your day and when you feel as if you can’t, YOU CAN!!!

       It is Christmas break…..Now the word break has so many meanings to me. BUT now I know the true meaning of break! God has given me the ultimate gift of just my family. Over a week off with no extras. I get into everyday life and always have a extra kid here and there. This is the first time in a very long time that I am at 1 week and counting with just my kids. Now we sure don’t have a lot going. We have not gone anywhere.. or had any play dates, but we are content just right here. Our little family here at home. I love all my lil extras and wouldn’t change a thing but this is pretty neat!

Twas the day before Christmas and everything was certainly stirring! I know, what a cliché (sorry)….It was Christmas Eve and the kids were all ready for Christmas. The day was fun with some Christmas movies here and there. The day went on and we went to Christmas Eve service. We had a simple just us family day. There was one thing missing. The Christmas cheer. The family surrounded around and the games, soup, and laughter everywhere. My grandma! I didn’t realize how different it would be to celebrate Christmas this way. The loneliness, the heartache that came is something I can not describe. So trying so hard to make this Christmas bright was a challenge because to my little ones it was just another day at home. They had fun and the anticipation of Christmas morning was heard. But it was just another day. No loved one stopping by, no having to go anywhere and say hi. Then it brought me to I miss my brother this year. See the true thing is I only have one sibling to share this holiday w...
