Mama's Thoughts and Other Stuff: November 2013

About Me

Location: Waco, Texas, United States

My life is blessed with a wonderful husband of 47 years, Darrell Lee Selke. Together we have had quite an adventure. A wedding in 1970, four kids; turning into a Gibbie and a Poppie with 13 grankids ...and staying joyful as we truly give God glory for such abundant blessings all along the way. We've had our challenges as all families do, but life is good because God is good. I love being a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. We're excited about the future and looking forward to the next adventure God has for us,just around the corner I'm sure.

Lord, Let Us See You Even When We Can't

So many storms in life... but God. We may not always understand, but we can always know that God loves us and that He is faithfully there even when we can't see through the darkness, the wind and rain. The sun... the Son, is shining just as brilliantly as ever regardless of our perception of Him. He is FAITHFUL!! And when we choose to trust Him there is peace. He calms the storm and lifts us above adversity and hardship. We see Him and there is rest. Thank God!

BEHIND THE STORM:
The Light is always here; always near to us even when its radiance may be veiled temporarily by storms of adversity. Keep looking toward the Light and when He calms the storm and the Light bursts through... Oh! The beauty of it is worth the wait. The glory of it all is even more precious after the storm.
