This is awesome insight and I would that every Christian parent would view rearing of their children with the same insight! Those who do are often criticized for not upholding their children (adult or not) in their wrong doings. But, I have always believed that we, parents, are going to be held accountable for putting on blinders and not following through with what we know is right!

Lauren, click on the link to hear it on youtube. :) I hadn't heard it before Pen first sang it to Caleb. I'm so glad he taught it to us!

So true and I love that song he sings when your boys are sick!!! I wish I could hear the tune! Thanks for sharing this!

When both of us are acting in faithfulness towards each other, peace is easy and growth is fast.[...] The more he waivers in his faithfulness to trust or to obey me, to stand by me, the more trouble appears between us.

--This is a profound observation for me. I was actually thinking about God and His faithfulness today, but I rarely stop to think of my role in the relationship. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful, Becca. Love the part about two willing parties. Thank you for sharing this reflection!

I always admire Caleb, it takes guts to follow God like that, but the rewards are awesome. I always prayed for a spirit like Caleb's:)

2011-02-12T07:14:10.030-08:00

I totally agree that the meaning of names is so important! Caleb is such an awesome hero of faith. My Godson's name is Caleb, and we framed the verse that says, "My servant Caleb has a different kind of spirit; he follows me unreservedly." Numbers 14:24

Can't wait to see what name you chose (the Lord reveals) for your next little one!

Tears always flow when I read your "Glimpse of Heaven." Thank you, Becca, for this wonderful relection.

BEAUTIFUL reflection, B. So true. You hit the nail on the head with several points- why don't we picture God as good of a Father as we are mothers? (and new mothers at that!) Why do we still picture ourselves in this mess?

Beautiful reflection!

2010-07-10T17:18:43.194-07:00

Me likey! I love the words to the verse you highlighted. I never thought of the fact that it says He sings over us.
I also love the image of Him swooping down with the irresistable urge to love us.
Thank you for sharing this. Please keep it coming.

2010-07-10T08:05:14.026-07:00

I love, love, love that image!!! Thank you, B! I can't tell you of the timeliness. I've been praying for God to show me an image- a mental picture- to help me with a certain situation right now. Thank you!

Quite the original song! :) I know exactly what you mean, too. I'm sure it was totally beautiful- and that the Lord wanted to swoop down and give both of you a kiss!!

That verse from Zeph is one of my favorites. :)

Love ya!!! Keep up the good reflections!

2010-07-08T16:29:32.361-07:00

We are praying for our little girl's future husband already. It does give me hope to know there are Caleb's out there - and just so you know there would be no complaints if it does happen to be Caleb. My heart would be happy!

This is such a good post, Becca. I can't help but think about the temptation for parents of grown children to wrestle with the same things.

nice post becca! as a mom, i feel like i am a little girl learning to "walk" all over again. i trip, i fall - God helps me up, dusts me off and cheers me on to take my next step. i am desperate for His help each and every step of the way.

Sometimes I catch myself sort of existing "until" the weekend "when"... when the hubs is home and can help out, when we can get things done, when I'll have more time, etc. This post is a good reminder for me to live each day with purpose. I love it. Thanks for posting from your heart!

2010-03-05T07:42:06.814-08:00

Great post, Becca! I totally know what you mean. When I find myself feeling like that, I remember John Eldredge's book Waking the Dead. He reminds us that Christ said He came so that we could have life and have it abundently. That doesn't just mean in Heaven- but there is freedom and joy HERE and NOW. Satan tries to steal our joy and depress our spirits. When I find myself feeling "blah"- I call those verses to mind and hold up my sword of the spirit. I make a conscious decision NOT to let Satan win. It's amazing how Christ can turn your day around!

I love it, Becca!!!! Thanks for sharing!

So true. So beautiful.

I think we have a lot in common.

Glad Caleb is saying thank you. Such important words that too few ever learn.
