Psalm 139:13-14 "You are the one who put me together inside my mother’s body, and I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. Everything you do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt."
As I sit here one week past my 36th birthday...this was the bible
verse of the day of my birthday this year. How fitting???
I have, for years, struggled with some of my personality qualities
(i.e. very black and white, straight-forward, opinionated--there are more,
but I only have limited space--hehe), but yesterday I was talking to a lady
that is very dear to me and she encouraged me to 'stop trying to not be
like so-so person, but to be who God wants me to be'. I was given the
family that God wanted me to have whether I like it or not. So my
birthday blessing this year is rejoicing in the fact that my mom chose
to keep me--or did not choose to abort me. We should all be so
grateful regardless of our relationship with our mothers or our
family. Of course, in my case it is probably a good thing that she
(my mom) could not see into the a future crystal ball...she may have changed her mind. LOL. Haha...Just kidding!!!
My hope and prayer is that my children have grasped that although I carried them for nine months...God knit them together for his purpose. I am (We are) just the lucky one(s) to see his purpose evolve and grow in grace.
