learning, learning, learning

So, second blogging day - let's see how long this lasts! :)

So I was thinking about what the word "glorify" means after humming a tune filled with the word to the Lord. And I am embarrassed to say, I didn't realise just exactly what it means...and I pride myself on not just singing stuff to the Lord when I don't actually mean it or can't do what I'm singing! So. "Glorify" synonyms: distinguish, aggrandize, illuminate, celebrate, acclaim, commend...Cool hey! And that's what I long to do in my life. Just simply glorify You, Lord!

I sometimes wish though, that I could take in more and really walk the walk I have so much head knowledge about. But, seeing as my blog's title is "Hope", I know there is hope for me. My precious Lord will lead me one step at a time, until I can truly glorify Him in heart and mind..."Please, Lord. Lead me beside the still waters and restore my soul. Lead me in paths of righteousness, for YOUR name's sake."

Every day is a brand new start

Today, I woke up having 8 hours sleep and feel brand new! My newborn, Noah gave me a good night, and I am so greatful.

I decided to tackle some things I've never tackled - like getting our iPod set up (finally) and seeing how to blog. So...this is where I'm starting.

I am so thankful for the gifts I have in my life. My incredible husband who I adore. He is so handsome to wake up to every morning, and I love his gentle strength. My heart still flutters when he kisses me, and I love hearing his car pulling into the driveway in the evenings. I love sharing the mundane things in life with him - driving in the car with my hand on his leg, doing grocery shopping on-the-run, drinking tea on the couch while watching House. If you read this, Ron, thank you, my love, lover and best friend, for choosing me.

Well, I can't wait for my daughter to come home - have only 8 weeks left of maternity leave, and am just loving my time with my little bundles. Time. I havn't had the luxury of such in what seems like forever. So, I am off to spend time with my Noah and Daena - to love them.

Thank YOU Father God. Thank You for Your kindness and grace. We have such a long journey still and I long to get to know You more. Please lead me...
