And there's more;)

I have been inspired this week and therefore want to write and read and write and quilt. There has been birth and death all around lately. I love that when there is birth, it is a complete miracle. God has knit together a child and then gave them breathe. There is nothing more showing of the truth of God, or so I think, than the birth of a child. And the more kids that I have, the more I see that the relationship that I have with my children shows me so much about the heart of God. And then there is death. There is nothing that will change you and draw out your beliefs more than death. It forces one to think about God and if there is more than our breathe in this life.
The other day I found a new blog to read and that I love. A woman that is searching for truth in marriage. (If you scroll on the side of my blog, you can see some other friend's and strangers blogs that I read.) I also have a friend that is going through some hard times in her marriage..... wait, aren't we all;)
A little while ago I watched a song intro video that talks about marriage being an expression of God's love for the church. I am adding this to my thoughts on life purposes that mirror God....
Babes= God's love for us in creating us in every detail. Mothering= God's want to have relationship with us and they way he loves us in protecting us. Marriage= God's love for the church and the way we should serve each other in love, uplifting and hoping all things good. (I am paraphrasing.)
Of course I am working on these things everyday. Here is what we are all striving for:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7~ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Here is the video link that I was talking about as well.....
