Two weeks ago, it was a message about the prodigal son. There are three types of prodigals - ones that have come home, ones that are coming home, and ones that are still "out there." Thankfully, I have come home - my hope is that if you are still "out there" that you will one day come home too.
This week it was the lyrics to the song: Mighty To Save
With the upcoming birth of baby #2, I have been thinking a lot about Saela's birth and her first two weeks...
...Saviour He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save...
I say a prayer of thanks daily that God's plan was for Steve and I to have the opportunity to raise such a beautiful, wonderful little girl for He could just as easily have taken her home. I have thought much about how this new baby will change her life and wish there was a way that I could explain to her that I will still love her just as much...and in a small way am mourning her last days as an only child.
...So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender...
I surrender my fears of Saela feeling cast aside - for I know she won't be - but again, how do you make her see that...and my fears of baby #2 coming early and ending up in the NICU like his big sister. I recognize that God's plan was set in motion long before even my arrival on this earth and I thank Him and all of the others who helped lead this prodigal daughter home.
