HE SPEAKS...through sunshine and quiet moments


Sitting on the stairs of our new, still empty, house. It is early morning and sunshine is pouring in through the windows. All is quiet and still in the house. I am muttering a silent prayer as I meditate on some of the verses I read just moments ago. All of a sudden I feel HIS presence wash over me in an incredibly gentle and powerful way. HE speaks softly to my heart, “I am here, I am always here; rest in that.” Tears stream down my face and in that moment I feel completely whole and totally safe. It is amazing what a simple touch from HIM can do to my entire being. HE reminds me that HE speaks; today through early morning sunshine and a still, quiet moment.

I feel so thankful.  I remind myself how essential it is to take a moment to be quiet and still, to take even just a second to seek HIM. HE is always here and HE will meet us. HE speaks to our hearts and refreshes and strengthens our souls. Oh how vital is the time spent in HIS presence.

May you find a moment today to quiet your heart and your mind, to seek HIM even for just a moment. And may your heart and soul be refreshed and renewed by the power of HIS presence and the comfort of HIS voice.


Have a lovely weekend!

My (VERY) Imperfect Perfect Life

Image
Hello, My name is Hannah Elizabeth Moeckl, I am a 25 year old soon-to-be mother of two, wife, sister, daughter, friend & nurse (who is currently not working). I am extremely thankful for my life, family & friends. I know I am blessed beyond what I could ever deserve and most importantly I have been redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All those things make me feel like my life is perfect in many ways, but as far as having it all together and actually being the ideal image that I have of myself, let me assure you, I am FAR from perfect. My life is far from perfect. The truth is that my house is usually somewhat messy and disorganized, there is almost always laundry that needs to be done and dishes waiting on the counter or in the sink to be cleaned. There is always a closet, counter or cabinet that needs to be more organized. There are usually crumbs on the counter and crumbs, dirt and hair on the floors. I sweep - sometimes, and I vacuum when w

Remembrance

I know, I just wrote about Elijah yesterday, but I have been thinking about all the things he is currently doing/saying; I am fascinated and I don't want to forget them, what better way to remember than to write them down? (this post is partly just for my benefit so it might get a bit lengthy - feel free to stop reading whenever...haha) One of my favorite things that he does right now: he will randomly come up to give me or Ethan (daddy) a hug - usually around one of our legs - it is just so sweet! He has also been reaching for our hands when we are walking side by side - love it!  He is SUPER friendly (most of the time) and he LOVES to interact with other people (adults and children). Sometimes he just bursts out in laughter to try to get their attention. And when we are walking down the street he will wave to all the cars passing by. When people respond his eyes sparkle and he gives a smile that lights up the entire room. It brings me joy to see how hi

This Little Boy of Mine

Image
My little man and I have been getting to spend a lot of time together lately, well, we always do (such an incredible blessing), but lately is has been a lot of JUST us time. While I look forward to more adult interaction, I am also cherishing every single moment I have with this sweet, sweet boy. He has stolen my heart over and over again. Even on the most challenging days, I am amazed at how much my entire being LOVES him. From the moment I found out I was pregnant... To the first time I held him in my arms... To today... My love for him has grown in ways and to depths that I never could have imagined. A mother's love is certainly one of the most powerful things on earth. I LOVE the gift of motherhood with all its ups and downs, with all its challenges and victories, and with all the heartache and joy. And I love how it has revealed God's love for me in a new, different and very powerful way, sometimes it is still beyond my comprehensi
