Great news! One of my best friends from high school, Lonnalee, who has been married for almost 2 years now to a wonderful man named David, just had their first bundle of joy on Sunday! They had a little girl and named her Mollie!
How exciting it is to see others lives change and grow, to see blessings and gifts from God given to the people you love. God is SO faithful and his timing is perfect. He knows each and every desire of our heart, and fulfills them in due time. What a great Daddy!!!
Today I'm going to dedicate this blog to Mollie with a verse that to me, reflects God's love for us, gives us a strong sense of comfort, and fills our hearts with peace (just like a newborn baby). A verse that whether you have been walking with the Lord for years, are a new Christian, or are simply just reading this blog out of curiosity, --I think this verse will meet all of us exactly where we are today. Just as little Mollie is resting with her mama, rest in this verse. Read and re-read it a few times to get a full understanding of what it is saying. Take comfort in the biggness and smallness of this verse, see the simplicity and be okay with the complexity, knowing that our God is a mighty, loving daddy who is always with you whether you are sleeping, playing, in the wrong, or ready to do right. He is there to guide Mollie's life and ours with a love deeper than our understanding!
"The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17
*The quote below was posted on Lorri's Cancer blog page, and I thought it fit perfectly for today.
To Mollie and You Faithful Readers:
"The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you". - Fredrick Buechner
