Believe

Believe....hmmmm.... I believe I do like to drink Mountain Dew. I believe I do not like Birmingham traffic. I believe I would much rather be a stay-at-home mom. I believe that Malfunction Junction was designed by the devil himself. I believe that puppies' breath was designed to make you smile. I believe that a child's laughter will make you laugh yourself. I believe Christmas never loses it's "magic." I believe hide-and-go-seek is the best game that was ever invented. I believe a child's view of the world is way better than an adults'. I believe standing at the edge of the ocean is where true peace is found. I believe running sand through your hands somehow fixes your problems. I believe feeling the wind on your face is like feeling the breath of God. I believe you can always find pictures in clouds. I believe your children imprint their footprint on your heart while still in the womb. I believe an adoptive mother loves her child in a deeper way than a biological mother will ever be able to fathom. I believe customer service is not always customer service. I believe teenagers do know what true love is. I believe grasshoppers are scared of two year olds. I believe hugs are the universal sign language for I'm right here. I believe Taco Bell was only designed to be eaten at midnight. I believe classical music is much like books, only a few are born with a real appreciation. I believe yard work is cruel punishment (hee hee). I believe the garbage man is my best friend! I believe hard work is not necessarily just hard labor. I believe my children know who I truly am where I am constantly searching to figure that out. I believe my husband does love me unconditionally. I believe there is nothing better than the smell of rain. I believe driving in reverse is not my specialty. I believe you will never know the lives you touch. I believe people never really know your heartache. I believe tears are a way to let it out. I believe if adults would skip more they would laugh more. I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for my wretched ole self and saved me from an eternity in hell! I believe I am not perfect but I am forgiven! What do you believe?

"But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ." Galations 3:22 (NLT).

I believe my boys will never love two teachers more than they love you and your hubby. I believe God has granted me a ministry through Luke's testimony. I believe I am blessed from the hands of the Lord. I believe my marriage with Kevin cannot be beat. I believe God still heals, in His way and in His time. I believe that God's hands cover my heart, self, family, car, home, and church. I believe that while I do not always like the answer no, it is the best answer at those times. I believe that my profession to teach will never be as rewarding as being a mother. I believe I will always cut my husband's and boys' hair. I believe that friends are family members you choose to love. I believe there is a season for every one of life's occasions. I believe that just because some things can't be seen, it doesn't mean they aren't there. I believe that when the boys no longer have toys in the house, I will wish those same toys were all over the house again. I believe that trust is earned. I believe that forgiveness should be freely given, and accepted, at least for Christians. I believe that parents should be positive role models for their children. I believe that if our justice system went back to the way it was in the 1930's, our nation would be a safer place to live in. I believe that joy comes from the Lord and from the blessings He's given us. I believe a church cannot be divided, if the members unify through prayer. I believe the most radical transformation from a sinner to a Christian I've seen is through you and your husband. I believe that I'll love you and yours from the bottom of my heart the rest of my life.
