1st Corinthians 1

Lord, make me small that I may show
Your love and grace compasses all.
Make me weak; reveal my flaws, 
That all may know Your wondrous laws.


Lord make me dumb that Your words may flow.
Make me a fool that the world may know,
That in my weakness You are my strength;
Where I fall short You span the length.
In past or present I have no claim,
For when I stood, You made me lame;
And then you raised a rugged tree
With the sinless Lamb for all to see.


A Lamb so pure, all else looked black.
A Lamb so whole, all others lacked.
A Lamb who’s reaching for the lost
With love to bear their heavy cross.

This Lamb is mine! This God is great!
This God can whole the broken make! 
Don’t raise me up. Keep me small;
But show through me, Your love for all.

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.
