MOTHER'S - CHANGING THE SHAPE OF OUR WORLD

Walking down the river bed at the Guadalope mountains last week I noticed that the rocks in the river bed were smooth.  My eye caught site of the rocks on the hillside and I noticed they were jagged and rough.  This brought the question to mind, "Why is there such a drastic difference in rocks that are all in the same area?"

HERE IS WHAT THE LORD SHOWED ME

These rocks have been though many storms.  The hail has pounded both the rocks in the river and the rocks on the hillside.  The same rocks have fallen down the mountain as erosion has taken place.   People have kicked them all around as they hiked through the terrain.   The difference in these rocks is the impact of water.  The rocks that the water ran over year after year after year had a different appearance to the beholder.  This is the difference my grandmother made in my life.  My mother,  was a very Godly woman.  She contributed to my life, as she followed my father in the ministry as a pastor's wife.

• When I was born my mother and grandmother ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
•  When I learned to walk and was falling down, they prayed I would walk in his steps. They poured Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I was sick, they ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I was angry, they ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I rebelled, they ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I wanted to sing, they poured songs of Jesus, The Living Water, over my life

Pouring the Living Water over the lives of their children, grandchildren, and great granndchilden did make a difference.  The heritage page in "Digging A Well" will show the difference that has been made.  Here is a brief list of the change they made to the world around them.

2 Sons are pastor’s
1 daughter married to a pastor

4 grandsons are pastor's
1 granddaughter married to a pastor

1 great-grandson is a pastor
1 great-granddaughter surrendering her life to the ministry

There are deacons, deacons wives, nurses, service men, leaders in the community, national guard, vocalist, writers, and the list goes on. 

Sometimes it is hard to have that water rushing over you time and time again. Those trials and tribulations are sometimes the water that takes us from a rough, craggly rock to that beautiful, smooth rock that he wants us to be.

THE LIVING WATER WILL CHANGE YOUR SHAPE
