God's Faithfulness

Today's Praise: I'm so thankful for my beautiful boy and the God who takes care of him when I can't.

Every day, I grow to love my son more and more. My heart is bursting with endless love for him, and yet, with each passing day, there is also fear, fear that I may lose him somehow. The worse fear is the unknown. I can't carry around an internal scan machine-Oh that star trek were real! I can't see everything and I can't be everywhere. Even with the things that I can do, buy, and give, I don't know everything. I don't know if this food will be recalled tomorrow or that snack could be tainted. This world is so overwhelming with the possibility of loss. It's nerve wracking! And yet, the only solace is that God loves us. He doesn't want us to die. He is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. He's everywhere I cannot be. I wish so much to have perfect control over life, to put my son in a perfect love bubble, if you will, but I cannot. I just have to trust and have faith. I also have to think on the positive, shrug off the uncertainties, be cautious, but not overbearing, vigilant, but not hyper vigilant, be grounded in the present, not lost in the fearful possibilities. Please God, help me to trust that you have his best interests at heart, to remember that your love for him is far more infinite than mine, and that your protection far exceeds mine. Most of all, God I give him to you. Please raise him, train him, and mold him as you see fit. Help me to surrender completely to your will. In Christ's name that I pray, Amen.

Today's Scripture: "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him." Lamentations 3:22-24

Today's Challenge: Thank God every morning for each day that my family and I are alive and safe. Thank God especially for each morning that I get to see my son's smiling face.

Oh, the wonderful moments

I'm so thankful that God has allowed me to have a healthy baby boy. He is so wonderful. He is walking now!!! Still so excited about that! He is growing and thriving everyday. God has afforded me every opportunity to see my beautiful baby grow. So many precious moments in each day. Motherhood is such a roller coaster of emotions in one minute. You can laugh, cry, be upset, and be filled with immense joy. Overall, it's truly a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Challenge of the day: Savor the precious moments.

Today's Scripture: "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue. and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philippians 4:8

God, please help me not to worry so much and enjoy each moment that you give me. In Jesus' name that I pray, Amen.
