a call to prayer…again.
i can’t control it.
i can’t understand it.
i don’t get it.
but i dare not take matters into my own hands.
i relinquish all thoughts to Christ.
i keep my hope grounded in Him.
yet, we need you interceding for us. that’s praying for K on her behalf.
here’s the latest update:
i hugged them a little tighter at bedtime.
i wasn’t satisfied until they locked eyes with me as i declared my love for them.
why does tragedy wake us up? why does breaking news break our hearts?
“but if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience….for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. and he who searches hearts know what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8.25-27
what is happening across the ocean and in another land, i wonder daily.
what is happening inside the walls of a particular orphanage, i search for answers.
how many more updates will i write to show God’s faithfulness, to journal this faith story, i sit and type.
karen from arizona wins 2 copies of the same page book.
greta from missouri wins the stationery set. {photos on stationery taken by me and ben}
emily from alabama wins the pearl house necklace. {i wear mine wrapped as a bracelet}
and i won a most beautiful day with my three sons and ben.
all three meals provided for me.
lovely flowers from down the street.
a wonderful time with our community of faith.
biking near the golden gate bridge.
and sam learned to ride for the first time!
a green and blue dress picked out by asher. {his wife will be blessed and well dressed}
a piece of jewelry given me by the boys to represent my daughter with these words,
“mommy, we hope next mother’s day that she’s here to celebrate with us.”
and all of the above is why i love being a mom.
