His FULLness!


"In Him are hidden, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge"


As a follower of Christ, we are given a deep desire to be better, more, faithful, to be FULL of Christ. 
I realize as the years pass, that we will never get to experience the fullness of Christ if we are looking to ourselves.  We cannot possibly experience His fullness when our mind is centered on ourselves when worshiping Him.  Perhaps we can find glimpses of His love, but I want to see ALL of what God has for me...to be used completely for his Kingdom.  It has to be completely about HIM.  After all, as Christians, isn't that what we believe?  Isn't that why we are to take up His cross and follow Him?  



The “fullness of God” is experienced, Paul says, as we are given the “strength to comprehend” the love of Christ in its height and depth and length and breadth—that is, in its fullness.  The fullness of God is the spiritual apprehension (experience) of the fullness of the love of Christ. This love is the grace and truth that fills the Son of God and pours out on us.









THese photos we took over the weekend in Jackson Hole....a special place.
I cannot look at these pictures without being completely engulfed in God's grace.  To be "in" these places of wonder and beauty and to get to experience them with my little family is so humbling, and is constantly developing a spirit of deeper thankfulness in me that I don't ever want to give up.
Moving out here we gave up a lot, foregoing comfort, convenience, friends, family, familiarity.  But, oh...oh what we would have missed.   How we must follow His fullness to see the blessings!!!!!  By listening to God's voice and sensing His tender Spirit, we can find the wonderful FULLNESS in Him that is Grace upon Grace...upon Grace...upon Grace.....


HE IS OUR GREAT REWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!!!!!!

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
