Motherhood

It’s been too long since I last wrote but I assure you it’s not because life has not given plenty of stories to tell. Life has indeed been busy.  I got married last April to the most amazing man, Joel.  Our first summer and fall together as a married couple flew by and in December I found out that I was pregnant!  Surprised? Yes… but oh so thankful.  We are having a little girl this August and I’m full of joy and anticipation to meet her.

It’s amazing how much contentment I have in being a mother.  I go to sleep with my hand on my tummy, waiting to feel her move.  I wake up excited to feel her flip and kick.  I think about her all throughout the day… and my love for her continuously grows.

Joel prays the most precious prayers for her.  He prays she’ll be one who brings Heaven to earth, that she’ll know Jesus, even now while she’s in the womb, that she’ll love sleeping in her own room (ha), and that she’ll know the love of God.  He reads Proverbs to her at night… she will be a woman who walks in wisdom.

It’s important to speak life giving words over people.  The Bible says that the tongue has the power of life and death… proclaim the Word of God over your children and others in your life.  A counselor once gave me a “nugget” of wisdom.   He said that he prays for people he counsels to have a love for the truth.  I pray that often for people… Lord, give us a love for the truth!

I love leading worship while being pregnant.  Often times as I’m in worship, I’ll feel my baby girl move and I have that knowing that she too is worshipping… it’s amazing!

I feel like I have a better understanding of the love of God through being a mother.  The care and concern I have for her, the protection I feel over her, the thoughts I have towards her, how she’s always on my mind, how her every move catches my attention, my excitment and ancitipation to see who she will become, ect. God cares for us, thinks about us, protects us, is captivted by us, etc.  His love is far more powerful than a mother’s love for her child… and that’s an amazing thought.

I pray that you encounter the love of your Heavenly Father and know that He has been, He is and He will always be… a Father who loves you.
