Beautiful Colorado

"I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonder of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds. Your way oh God, is holy. What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders." Psalm 77:11-14



There are so many reasons why I have come to love Colorado. I love the mountains and that we have so many sunny days. I love to look at Pikes Peak and think how awesome God is. I love love His creation! But the main reason I have come to love Colorado is because of the mark God has left on my heart here. Here is where He gave me a heart for my children. Here He showed me what it is to be a mother. Here He showed me more of His unconditional love. And I learned to show my children and husband that same unconditional love. Here I had Nathaniel......my special little boy who brings me so many smiles! Here He broke my heart for many things. Here He showed me that I can do all things through Him, regardless of my past failures. Here He called me to homeschool my children, in spite of all my inadequacies He showed me that it is not me, but Him in me. He uses the broken and does amazing things with them. Here He taught me to be a friend. He gave me many friends who were all so different. Some for just a time and some forever. Here I went without friends and learned to lean more on Him. And in these last 6 months He gave me friends I instantly fell in love with and have learned so much from. Here we did not Have a big house, but here I had a family that was falling more in love with Him. Here He knit our hearts together as a family. Here He has done amazing things in my heart and just when I thought He was finished with me here in Colorado, He did even more. Now He is showing me how to completely trust in Him, even when I don't understand. That He is my father and knows what is best for his children. That my hope can only be in Him and not in anything of this world. Now, I really believed that my hope was only in Him....until He took something away. I am so thankful that He is so concerned with out hearts. He wants all of us, not just part of us. I am learning to count it all joy when we endure hardships, because of what it is producing in me. This is why I have come to love Colorado for the many things He has done and the many more things He will do. I look forward to falling more in love with Him and my children falling more in love with Him. I have so much more to learn and I am so glad He goes wherever we go. I thank him for Colorado! I thank Him for this hardship! He has forever left a mark on my heart here in Colorado.


Therefore I will say, "I am here by God's appointment, in His keeping, under His training, for His time."
