WOW!!! cant believe that tomorrow is the day that we are getting kenzie dedicated already. she is going to be 5 months old on the first of may. TIME!!!! it flies out the window. DON'T BLINK!!
our family isn't only going to be celebrating the dedication tomorrow, but also that my best friend, the girls Aunt Rachael, is FINALLY pregnant. we have all been praying for this for a while. her first is going to be 4 a month before her due date ( Christmas eve) she called me last week and asked me to be her doula. DUH!! of course. what a beautiful blessing to be there when a life enters into the world ; so that you can physically see them; what is this crap that it isn't a person when it is first created....bugs me for sure.
anyways, she had just recently surrendered that struggle to the Lord, and he showed himself faithful if his children are faithful, yet again. these days i am all about surrendering. i have a small group bible study at my home every other Saturday night, and at the last meeting, we spoke mainly of surrender. a friend, Marylou, led the discussion, and brought us each a small white flag to remind us of the "act" of surrender.
Jordan and i have begun LIVING that word. it is a struggle, and an everyday decision. you don't just do it once. you do it daily. and what blessings have been showered down on us because we are trusting the Lord to lead our path and provide...a big one lately. He just recently spoke into my heart to quit the "job" that i have had since Gracie was born. i worked with Partylite. i felt that it was only something for us for a time, and God told me when i was done. we are now only living on one income, while we trust the Lord to provide massage and doula clients for me. but when we do submit to the Lord on that daily basis, and remain in him, and faithful, well, our cups are overflowing. it makes me wonder why anyone would not want to know him with such intimacy, that their lives are in their "daddy's" hands. such a breath of fresh air it is. Personally, i have never known such peace, joy and contentment.
