"Verbal Vomit"

What a title for my very first blog!!!  But you see, thanks to my new friend Hope, I have officially discovered what I suffer from...verbal vomit! I know, I know...it's a bit crude, but I do have this "need" to hash it out, lay it on the table, hear myself talk, whatever. So, I'm hoping that this new hobby of blogging will save my family and friends some wear 'n tear! (and mess!)

I've learned over the years just how therapeutic writing can be...so hey...I figure a blog is cheaper than therapy!  :) And if anyone can relate, get anything positive from it, or even laugh...I consider that just 'icing on the cake!'

Gosh...you know, I have so much I want to share/get off my chest, but I guess I don't need to spill it all in my very first blog, huh? So let me just share this for now...

This weekend, I have been overwhelmed with just how BIG God is and just how little I am! Now, this very concept throws a lot of people...they want to understand HIM, explain HIM, prove HIM. They want 2+2 to equal 4.  They want to grasp  why He chooses to do things/allow things/not to do things, etc... and maybe I'm just a simple minded person (there's no maybe to it) but I, personally, take great comfort in believing in a God that is not easily understood by me! If He created this universe and everything in it, and my very life is in His hands...I am so thankful that He is bigger than I can get my mind around! I am thankful that He is more complex than I could ever understand! And thankful that I don't understand why and how He does things because I want to be lead by, loved by, and saved by something a whole lot BIGGER than me! 

Sometimes, I look at my kids when we're driving down the road.  They're just looking out the window, singing, watching a movie, or talking.  And I realize...they haven't even asked where we're going, why we're going there, or when we're going home.  They just trust us as their parents, that we're taking them where they need to go, and getting them there at just the right time, and that we're gonna get them there safely.  As I look at them...I want to be just like them!  I want to trust that much, know my Heavenly Father that well, and have fun on the journey!

Thank you, God, for being infinitely bigger than us! Thank you for guiding us, even when we don't know where we're going or why. Thank you for loving us...even more than our limited words can express.

Have a GREAT day, y'all!
