"O Taste and See that the Lord is good!" - Ps. 34:8

Chocolate Kisses

I have been praying all summer about this little blog of mine now that Paul has returned from Iraq. I know it isn't very significant as blogs go, but the Lord has used it in my own life as a written expression of the ways He is at work in our family. As I pray, I keep coming back to the idea of "Chocolate Kisses"-- small bits of sweetness from the Lover of my soul. Chocolate kisses seem to fit with the theme of "Chocolate Syrup and Cookie Dough", and I desperately long to see and savor the sweetness of Christ-- on good days and bad.
I will still share pictures of our family, but I also believe the Lord would have me share simple stories and small sweetnesses that He brings into my life as He continues the good work that He began in me (Phil. 1:6). It will be a written record of the ways He is molding and teaching me, and I pray that it might encourage a few people along the way. We are still adjusting to our lives here, and my posts might be few for awhile, but I will be able to start writing more once we get settled back into our lives together.
Chocolate kisses are small, and my entries will be short, but I pray they will be filled with the overflowing goodness of Christ. By God's grace and for His glory, I will taste and see that the Lord is very, very good.

Heidi,

I look forward to hearing how the Lord blesses and teaches you in life's journey!

And yes - do keep up with the kid pictures for those of us that don't get to see them often. :)
