HIS gift to me this year.


This year the Lord has given me eyes to see and has opened my heart and mind to show me how much He loves me. I have wanted a baby for three and half years, well actually I have wanted one since I was a little girl. Like most other girls my dream is to become a mom. This journey has been a very hard one but I received the best gift from it; I sought and found the gift of love from our God. It is so good to feel His love in good times but it is so GREAT to feel His love in hard times. I am so grateful that God gave us His son, Jesus Christ, so that I am able to go to him and be freed from slavery and have hope for a future. It doesn't get any better than that.

I feel so blessed that He has so many promises for me.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD. Psalm 113:9

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 15:7

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Luke 12:6
