I still have yet to finish my little blog series but had to interrupt it to blog about the precious new addition to our family.  I cannot rave enough about my wife.

She fought the aggressive cancer...

He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon?

As you dive into this blog post, I wanted to set a foundation of remembrance on the key thing when it comes to revealing the state of our heart reality.  I believe it is the posture that Mary took in Luke 10:38-42 that will never fail us when it comes to where we stand before the Lord.  If we place ourselves before Him then He will continue to tenderly reveal the truth that lies in our hearts.  Prayer is central to remaining in Him...
