I have been MIA (missing in action) with this blog thing. I blog at work to make my day go by. That is another story for another day. I had two glorious weeks off to spend time with my family and sweet friends. And of course we took a little vacation to Mammoth, Ca. and went to a Harvest Crusade! Take a looky at the pics!

We went to the first ever Harvest Crusade with Greg Laurie at Dodger Stadium. Approx 50,000 people praising the Lord. |

Amazing!
Went to Mammoth for a few days.
It was cold!
Did a little mtn biking! |

On our way home we went through Yosemite.
So as my vacation came to an end, I began to get anxious! I didn't want to go back to work! I wanted to be a house mom! A mom who is there for her children. A mom who was there for her friends! And God blessed me everyday on my vacation with friends loving me the only way Christ could and would!
I prayed harder everyday that He would show me the way to not work! And, He made me realize that I need to make the first steps towards that goal and be patient and know, He sees my heart and is faithful.
Psalm 55:22~Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you...
He also reminded me of my devotion to Him and being His servant. A servant to be the light for Him. Especially at my place of employment. See I am a Los Angeles Police Officer. In my line of work, where He placed me, there are a lot of things that are not of God. He reminded me that in
2 Cor 4:2,6~We have renounced secret and shameful ways...For God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in our hearts to give us the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
I AM THAT LIGHT AT WORK! I AM HIS VOICE!
Father forgive me, for having selfish thoughts and thinking of myself only, I trust you and know you have plans for me.
Jeremiah 29:11~"For I know the plans I have for you." declares the Lord.
I am a slave to our Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Blessings to You,

how awesome is He to call us to be mommies to our precious children and also to serve Him and glorify His name outside of the home as well. i have been struggling with this "selfish want" (as you describe it) too and that's such a perfect way of looking at it! He has called me to be more than just a mommy and keeper of the home. thank you for sharing your perspective and what God spoke to you! i needed to hear this!
much love,
