Drip Drops: Mom... or Princess
http://markandchristierainwater.blogspot.com/2014/06/mom-or-princess.html
Thursday, June 5, 2014. Through the everyday moments of life, there are two that stand out. the high, proud moments of achievement in my child's life, and the "I cannot believe my child just did/said that! Moments of life. These moments, often defining in my child's life, can somehow turn into a moment that defines me as a mother. as Mom of the Year. or as a failure. I find myself losing my identity in the behavior, good or bad, of my kids. And their first answer is "Jesus! June 6, 2014 at 1:32 PM. I am ...

Drip Drops: A Day of Found Hope
http://markandchristierainwater.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-day-of-found-hope.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. A Day of Found Hope. In just a few minutes I will be heading out the door for another OB appt for Baby Zachary. You know what that means. it means I have made it a whole week from my appt last week where I was told to pack my bag and install the car seat, being 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced! I think my doctor will be quite surprised to see me. Those questions hit hard and sunk in deep. The Lord brought His Living Word to my mind. If you do this, you will experience God’s pea...

Drip Drops: January 2013
http://markandchristierainwater.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 24, 2013. I have heard statistics that people that spend time with the Lord each day in prayer and reading His Word are 50% more peaceful and joyful. and I believe it! I find the same is true for myself; and who couldn't use more joy? 8220;Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". We don't need to worry about anything? What if we really did love all our neighbors as our self? Jesus said how amazing i...

Drip Drops: A Prince!
http://markandchristierainwater.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-prince.html
Friday, April 19, 2013. Haley was the first of the little ones up this morning. She usually is. We started our morning routine. I pick her up out of her crib, sit down on my glider with her on my lap, and we snuggle. If You Give a Pig a Pancake. And a new recent favorite, I Love You As Much. As we were reading, we heard the door knob turn, and there was an adorable little boy with his blankie draped over his arm and a golf ball in his hand. So precious! I smiled and said, "Yes, you are! Great, made me cr...

Drip Drops: September 2012
http://markandchristierainwater.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 11, 2012. What Should We Remember? Around 3pm that day, I got a call from Brandon. He was alive! He lived. God was not finished with him yet. He had purpose and a calling. Also, because of this, my precious Caleb is here today. His partner, however, did not make it. Neither did many of his friends that rushed into the city with him that day. When I think about Sept 11th it seems like yesterday and it seems like tragedy. I can't help but well up with tears. However, I want to ch...I am ...

Drip Drops: June 2012
http://markandchristierainwater.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Throughout my life, by words, example and experience, I have formed my own personal meaning of the word Dad. At a retreat this weekend, one of the speakers played an amazing song about God being our Heavenly Father. I couldn't help but smile. He bestowed on me here on earth through my daddy. I can't even imagine being loved more. My amazing Daddy with me and my 3 kids (Haley was still inside). Our pastor asked "What did your father give to you? I watched the amazing. Thursday, June...
