Sunday Selah

We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.
I Thessalonians 2:8
The writing of the weekly Selah here on my blog is one of my favorite activities of the week. And those of you who regularly read the Selah and share your precious comments with me of what the Lord is showing you in your lives--it's simply an amazing highlight of my blog experience.

I hope you don't mind a slight change of format for this week. As some of you may know, I do speak in various settings, sometimes talking about big family life, sometimes about raising special needs kids, marriage, education, writing, what have you. A few weeks ago, I spoke about what I call Mommy Math in honor of Mother's Day. I wrote the Selah for that week based on what was laid on my heart in preparation for this talk. I apologize that the audio is not exactly synced with the video--converting the video formats proved a bit tricky. But I hope that this speaks to you, encourages you, the way you all encourage me.



Selah.

thank you! what a wonderful reminder of the BLESSING that we have to stay home with our children. and a poignant reminder that amidst the financial worries, frustration, and exhaustion that we have an amazing place of influence. that is what it ultimately comes down to, and you've expressed it beautifully!

"THIS is the way!" i pray that i can be an example for my children.

thank you!

Thank you for sharing this!

I love the idea of being "behind" so many things in so many ways. I want to be that voice.

That picture will stick with me. Thank you.
