Just days now until another little one joins our home. I am excited and nervous. What will this one be like? I am hoping in many ways like Liam. He really is the kind of child that would make people want to have more. He was such a good baby. We were blessed beyond measure. Of course I don't want a copy, but there are some similarities that would be really nice. I know Liam will be a good teacher as long as Jordan doesn't teach him to many bad habits...just kidding.
I go back to the scripture...Psalm 139:13-16
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.
Many times I like to go back to the New King James bible when I am recalling a scripture I am remembering since childhood, but I just love the way The Message says it here.
To think what God has done inside of me. This little one about to come has already been shaped by God. None of us can escape what He has already done in us. Every single person on this planet was made this way...every one. I think sometimes we need to recall this as we look at others around...they too were formed by God. No matter how good or how awful they seem. Looking at the world through those eyes gives you a different reality to enjoy.
I have been pretty grumpy the last two days or so. Sure there are lots of reasons and some of them are even valid, but the anger and frustration was all based towards other people. No more. Today is another NEW DAY. I will see through His eyes today. Because He has made life inside of me; because I get to be a part of His great project and plan; because He knows me and loves me anyway I will celebrate.
Thank you God for a fresh outlook for today. Thank you that I can start today looking through your eyes. Thank you for Liam. He is such a treasure and a joy to me. Help me to parent him the way You parent me. Thank you for this new life inside of me. Thank you for using me as your vessel. The love You have bestowed on us is so amazing. Lord, I'm amazed by You! I start today trusting You because You after all are the alpha and omega and nothing can compare to You!
