My Journey of Faith
Thank you for stopping by to visit. Don't forget to post a comment.
Meet Merrilee
My name is Merrilee and I am a thirty-year-old stay-at-home mom. I am married to an amazing man and have two great kids. My family and I have just moved to a town where my husband has just taken his first pastorate. We are excited to see what the Lord brings in and out of our lives over this next stage of life. The opportunity to be involved in this new ministry is one of the many blessings He has already bestowed on me. I would like you to join me on this journey of faith and life. I feel the Lord has formed a special place in my heart for mothers of young children. That may just be because I am one of them. So my site will relate generally to how we as mothers of little ones have time to live out this faith that has been graciously given to us.
‘But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today,’ Hebrews 3:13

A pure heart...
This was a psalm of David after he committed adultery with Bathsheba. This morning as I was reading this I was comforted that the Lord wants to do these things for me, renew me, give me joy and on and on. There are so many times I get caught up in trying to be a good mom and wife that I forget that the thing that is going to help me accomplish those the best is my time spent with my father. In the busyness of my day as I am chasing my kid as he is trying to squirt water down the dog's nose. My prayer will be to restore the joy and stain me! Thank you precious father for not forsaking me as I so often forsake you.

Big week...
Also this week my first baby started kindergarten. You may see this as trivial, but to me and my husband it was a huge deal. Emotions were already high so there was no holding back the tears this morning. She made it fine and I am so proud of her. The two situations correlate in this that Arlene loved my babies as her own and it meant so much to us. I thank God every day for those in my children's lives that love them and encourage them to love our Father. Thank you Arlene! Thank you Father most of all for these are gifts from you...my babies and my friends are just amazing gifts from you.
I would love to hear from you and how you are making it in life. ~merrilee
