God's Son. I remember thinking if God could not spare His own Son's mother the horrors of watching her own Son die, who was I to ask for more. I then realized that the beautiful thing about Mary was she always trusted God - even in the most difficult place she could be found there treasuring these things and pondering them in her heart. I then realized that after her Son left earth for that Heavenly place that Mary's heart must have yearned for Him, just as my heart yearned for my boy after I could no longer see and touch him any longer. She must have been flooded with memories and talked to God about why it had to be this way... Not by any means a lack of trust - but a child of God reconciling what she can see, taste, touch and smell with what she knows about the Invisible. Then I read about Mary in Acts... She took up residence with the members of the Church and lived among them continuing what her Son had begun. She lived her life carrying forward the legacy of her Son and in that He was glorified. Her story had to be told because in it - His story is told, and He is glorified. I tell our story because God showed me how my son's life was going to influence others toward Christ. It's Justin's legacy that God be glorified in the telling. Thanks for reminding me of what God has taught me these last few years about the heart of a mother who trusts God in every circumstance. He is inside us and we are Plan A. I'm grateful. Amen.

The one thing that I love the most about God is that HE IS CRAZY (ppl call me that here, so I must take that after Him). Today is the season in wich we celebrate HIS faithfulness to man, in wich He incarnates in one of us, in wich HE humble himself even to go to death on the cross, but He never did anything against His Divine nature. AMAZING!!!!! Is a season to be reminded to trust, TO TRUST in Him. He is not just "with" us.......is IN us. Love it! MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE TO ALL!!!!!!!!!! He wants a intimate relationship with us......just Trust! OMG!!! ok. The one thing that I love the most about God is that HE IS CRAZY (ppl call me that here, so I must take that after Him).
