Why do things happen, why don't they happen.
I never profess to do the right thing, but I try so hard to.
I wake up everyday being afraid the decisions I make will be the wrong ones.
So I question things, why does this happen, why doesn't it happen - and the answer these days seems to be because I can't
even make up my own mind.

need vs want.
I have all the things that I need, these days Im afraid to admit I'm lacking the thing that I want, the most.

Nathlyne.
tonight was traumatic. but you didn't let it show on your face. Not one tear. Not one "im scared".
We asked "are you afraid of her", she replied with a stone cold "no".
As you sat in the back of the police car, I thought - what should I do, what is the best choice for you?
I don't know that I will make good choices when I'm a parent, but tonight I had to make one that will affect your life.
I pray to God that this was the right one.
As you lay in an unfamiliar bed tonight, I pray that God would be your mother and your father, that God would protect your little 10 year old heart, that God would turn this bad situation into a good one.
Tonight I pray, that you would know that God loves you, and I love you.

treasures in Heaven.
My thoughts lately surround much vs not enough, wealth vs poverty, justice vs unjust, capitalism vs minimalism
I want my treasures, my thoughts, my eyes to be fixed upon Heaven. God today.. may my life, my actions, my mind be fixed on you, on the cause of the weak and weary and may it be a constant reflection of your word.
Treasures in Heaven
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
a good reality check of where our world is compared to so many, who have nothing.

I pray daily that the treasures that God puts before me - children who need someone to love them would feel Gods love with every interaction. I may not be in Haiti, yet . . . but may my life exemplify Gods love daily.
