Waiting for the Big Reveal

I’m sure you’ve been waiting on some things to happen for you. We all have something we’re waiting for and we all know the suspense can be maddening. But it will be well worth the wait when God reveals His plans. It will be more than you were expecting. Read the full post at www.diannahobbs.com Read more →

The Real Meaning of Patience

Today’s cup of inspiration will quench the parched palates of those of us who are enduring waiting periods that leave us feeling perpetually stuck in the abyss called “the meantime.” Meditate on Psalm 27:14 that says, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage , and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” Read the full post at www.diannahobbs.com.

Reflecting Back on the "No's"

“Those candy canes look so booty-ful mommy,” said 4-year-old Kaleb with a dreamy gaze. I chuckled as I watched his glimmering eyes stare adoringly at our tree decorated with those shiny red and white striped treats my husband, Kenya, brought home. From the moment the candy canes were hung, I think Kaleb subconsciously set a goal for himself—to eat every single one. So, in an effort to convince his dear mother to continue giving him permission to unhook those peppermint delights from the tree branches, my little tyke constantly interjected candy canes into our conversation in any way he could. In fact, he’s still doing it, although more than half of them are gone now. “Uh, do you like pepp-o-mint candy canes too mommy?” he queries with a big innocent smile on his face. Isn’t it always funny to see... Read more →

Wait It Out

Whenever advertisers send toy catalogs to our house, my husband Kenya and I quickly toss them out. We have 4 children and do not believe in spending money frivolously. No ma’am. No sir. So the unsolicited kiddie mags get tossed out as soon as they get pulled out of the mailbox. I know all too well how skilled these toy makers are at separating moms and dads from their money by getting to the kids first. It’s a tried and true method to get parents to spend big bucks. Well guys, Kenya slipped up the other day and ruined our fool-proof plan. When a catalog mysteriously showed up in the mail—which has been happening a lot more frequently lately with the holiday season right up on us—he mistakenly left it out. And one of the munchkins found it before he... Read more →

Wait Until Your Birthday

I celebrated my husband Kenya’s birthday over the week-end. We had a great time. One of the best things about birthday celebrations—both his and mine—is the part where we receive gifts from the children. Only, in our house, the children don’t buy us anything. Instead, they make us gifts using only their creative imaginations. We get cards, paper dolls, and books they’ve made. All sorts of sweet little things. It’s always so cool to see what they come up with. So anyway, our daughter Kaiah who is 9 years old, knocked on our bedroom door Saturday—the day before Kenya’s birthday. When she came inside, she was holding a white piece of paper. “Daddy, I need you to hold your head down please,” she announced. “Okay baby,” Kenya responded and hung his head low. Kaiah very gently placed a crown she... Read more →

We all have a Set Time

"Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)" ~Hebrews 10:23 The two boys ate cake and had a blast, laughing and talking... until gift-giving time rolled around. "But we wanted bikes," Kaleb said with a disappointed look as his 7 year old brother, Kedar, opened up his birthday presents. We? I thought. Bikes? I was somewhat confused, because 4-year-old Kaleb's big bro never even asked for a bike. And I didn't quite understand exactly how he came up with the idea that he would be the recipient of a shiny new three-wheeler on Kedar's birthday. For some reason, he didn't recognize that it wasn't his time to receive gifts yet. All he knew is that Mommy and Daddy were giving away toys, and he had put in his bid, even if... Read more →

If you wait...

"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him..." (Psalm 37:7a) Hey Daily Cup family! I'm so sorry I missed blogging yesterday. You know how much I despise missing days. I was traveling and things got so crazy with my schedule, which is why I had to get up this morning all geared up and ready to work, work, work. So today, I turned on my computer and began working on a project; I had some clear goals in mind. Tap. Tap. Tap. I hit the"Enter" key three times. And nothing happened. Six more times, and still nothing, except the appearance of the little time capsule on my laptop screen. Just great. My computer was frozen... and I hate it when that happens. Especially when I'm trying to work quickly and efficiently. There I sat, frantically hitting at the... Read more →
