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.

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.
