Some of you might have seen the wellness blog I started doing and may be wondering what Inspire(d) is. I didn't really know how to articulate some of the minsitry ideas I've been thinking about for 13 years or so. But finally after all of the transitions in my life recently I needed God to help me sort out all of these thoughts. As a result of much prayer Inspire(d) was birthed. I still don't know the "how" of it all but at least I know the "what". So I'm just going to get started and trust God.

Please let me know if there is anything I can pray for you about. I'm sharing my life but I want to hear about YOURS. I hope that by sharing it will foster more communication even though it's via web. If there is anything that the Lord has put on your heart to do-do it. Mess up on the way but God is gracious to teach us. Just say "yes, Lord."

A little story:

"Mommy" Hadessa said to me, "I was thinking about Jesus"

"Really?" I said as I washed the dishes. I pushed my desire to say more down and scrubbed the pot a little harder instead.

"Yes. About Him on the cross" she answered.

I listened quietly biting my tongue so that she would freely talk about her thoughts.

"I believe that He's going to heal my skin." She said looking me straight in the eyes.

I realized at that moment that all the time I had been praying for healing that maybe part of me was having trouble believing becuase it was taking so long for her to heal. So many doctors, creams, suggestions by well-meaning friends and family but nothing has cleared her up. But something hit me. Everything has been contributing a little bit at a time to her healing. Now we are working on nutrition and I am learning SO much about eczema. It's two fold. Internal and external. The Lord works through even our little one's to teach us about His love.

It took that moment to solidy my faith. That we must walk by faith and not by sight. That although I don't see her skin looking perfect that I must believe it. And I do. Finally.
