Gwyneth is home!
This the post I wrote when I returned home from Duke after Gwyneth, "baby Rose" around our house, made her entrance into the world. Gwyneth's birth and the circumstances around the events of that day was pretty much one of the most intense situations I've been around in my life. Watching God's plan unfold in the life of Tricia, Gwyneth and Nathan has had an impact on my life. I pray you will know that God has a plan for your life and that every day miracles happen around us.
>Obedience to God comes first even when life is in the balance.
>We don't know how strong our faith is until it is truly tested
>My problems and worries in life aren't jack squat compared to what others in this world are going through.
>I whine and complain too much
>A mother's love for her baby is truly an amazing thing to watch
>Even more amazing is God's love for that little baby, even before the baby enters our world
>My prayer life has pretty much stunk. I prayed everyday but like most people I think prayer became more important in my life when the stakes were high
>Why don't I pray like that everyday?
>God uses the weak to confuse the "strong"
>Even though someone is young they could very well be more spiritually mature than someone that has been around a long time. (we've got a lot of Christians living the same first year over and over and over, time to grow up boys and girls)
>Emotions and feelings are from God
>Emotions and feelings need to be under the control of the Holy Spirit.
>God uses our lives to impact other lives
>The Ripple Effect can be felt around the world.
>Life, no matter how small and tiny, is powerful and amazing
>God is doing miracles all around us and most of the time we don't even recognize it.
So those are some of my thoughts this morning as I think about the amazing lives of my nephew, niece and great-niece.
Now I will attempt to get through the day without being glued to a blog. :)
Pray without ceasing! My eyes saw a miracle.
