Making the Introductions

I'm starting to blog again, not because my life is so interesting, but because I love the idea of journaling and being able to look back on the past and see the things - great and small - God has done. I may be the only one who ever reads this blog, but if it helps me to remember the goodness of God in my life, than it will be worth it.

On the slight chance that you are not me and you are reading this than I'd better introduce myself. My name is Rebekah Hodge.



        


I will have been married for a year to the greatest guy on earth come August 10th, and  we will be adding a little bundle of joy to our family sometime in late October. Matthew and I are excited about our little addition, as well as petrified at the thought of parenting. Believe me, the mixed emotions are confusing even to us! 


                         

I am working right now in a bakery, but I am greatly looking forward to hanging up my apron, only to don another - that of a stay at home mom! I have so much to learn, and I could not be more excited! 

My father-in-law pastors at Quarryville Baptist Church, and my sweet husband, along with working a full time job, does everything in his power to assist him. Whether it be multimedia productions, flier distribution, family visitation, or congregational song leading, my husband will jump in wherever he is needed. We love our church, and we're excited to get to serve God in it and watch it grow.

I can't think of anything else interesting to share about myself, so at least I was being honest about not being the most exciting person in the world! I do pray that God will use this blog in my life and maybe even yours as I learn what it is to be a mother and a better Christian. May it bring glory to God. 

Signing Off, 
Rebekah Hodge 

Ecclesiastes 9:10
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."

A Prayer for My Baby at One Month Old

Image
Baby Sonya, You have grown so much this first month! You've nearly doubled your birth weight already to the doctors delight! You've brought Mommy and Daddy such delight, although your entrance into this world did give us quite a fright! You are our little miracle, and all we can do is thank God for you! We were so excited when we saw your first sleepy smile, and we were even more excited to see that smile directed at us! You're only 6 1/2lbs, but you seem so big to me. Don't grow too fast, Little Flower!  You won't remember this, but today we read the Proverb of the day together and I picked this verse to pray for you. Proverbs 31:30 "Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth The Lord, she shall be praised." I've little doubt that you will be outwardly beautiful, but even a clown can dress up and wear makeup. I pray that you will have the favor of God on your life and that He will grant you favor with others, just as He did with ...

Almost Ready for Her!

Image
Several weeks ago people started asking me if I was ready for our little girl to make her appearance. I said, "Absolutely not! The room isn't painted yet!" It wasn't too long after we found out we were expecting a girl that I started to look on Craigslist for furniture that would go well in a baby room. I try to keep from impulsive and expensive buys by asking myself these two questions: Is it a good deal and do I absolutely love the item(s). Asking myself these two questions helped secure a $60.00 wicker furniture set, a $90 crib that transitions from a crib - to a toddler bed - to a twin sized bed, we found a 9 piece crib set for $75 that was both elegant but cute. However, none of this felt like an accomplishment because the room was still a dark forest green and brown! Matt teasingly kept reminding me that he had picked out these colors and that he was offended I didn't want to use them for our little girl. He sweetly took me shopping for paint though. I had...

Psalms 143

Image
When morning dawns and my flesh feels weak, My heart becomes heavy, my failures start to speak - Help me to hear Your loving voice Calling me to make You my choice. When filled with You, my spirit is light. My heaviness flees, my days become bright. Heal me from heartache. Deliver me from woe. Help me Thy strength in my weakness to know. Oh love of God, wash over my soul. Take over my fear and my spirit control. From sin I will run, from wrong I will flee, 'Til my heart again rests safely in Thee.
