You'll Come


Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth."
--Hosea 6:3

I have decided I have resolved
To wait upon you Lord
My rock and redeemer shall not be moved
I’ll wait upon you Lord
As surely as the sun will rise
You’ll come to us
As certain as the dawn appears
You'll come let your glory fall
As you respond to us
Spirit reign flood our hearts
With holy fire again
We are not shaken we are not moved
We wait upon you Lord
Our Mighty deliverer my triumph and truth
I'll wait upon you Lord
Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed
--You’ll Come, by Brooke Fraser of Hillsong

The skies, and the flowers.



I went on the most amazing early morning run today.
I haven't done that in ages.
The sky was just turning from night into morning, and the clouds were illuminated breathtakingly by the sunrise.
I was reminded of Psalm 19:1
"The Heavens declare the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of His hands."


Along my run, I came upon a beautiful field of sunflowers.. And again, I was reminded of a sweet truth that one of my old Bible study girls shared with me.. She told me that Sunflowers always turn to face the sun.. And amazingly enough.. I have witnessed that over and over.. All of the sunflowers in the field were facing the sun..

I took that to heart.. wanting to be like a sunflower.. and face the Son. Jesus that is.

That is my goal today.. to soak up the sweet aroma of Jesus, while basking in awe at the work of His hands.

Summer Season


Seasons.. So many seasons have come and gone recently.. 2009 alone has been one of the most transitional seasons I think I have ever experienced. From finishing college, to Bekah’s wedding, then oh my, New York City!!! Marie Claire, and traveling, then getting ENGAGED.. Having a long distance relationship, then moving back to Colorado, living with the grandparents, getting a full time job!!! Adjusting to the working lifestyle, going to bed early, waking up early, being a fiancĂ©, which has been so fun.. Wedding planning, so much back and forth between grandmas and the Heintz’s. Whew, and its only July!
July 1st today.. and a new season starts..

Today, on the start of a new month, a new season, I ask your hand over us Lord, your loving guidance and counsel to lead and direct us where to go. I ask you to prove mighty with Dave’s knee surgery today and in his recovery.

“The Lord gives strength to His people. The Lord blesses His people with peace.”
__Psalm 29:11
“But I trust in you God, I say you are my God and my times are in your hands..”
Dave and I trust in you God. You are OUR God and OUR times are in YOUR hands.
__Ps. 31:14-15
