more everyday life

I have had a wonderful summer thus far. This pregnancy is flying by and been really enjoyable. My little gal is growing up fast and becoming more fun to be with daily... I feel so blessed. I also struggle with accepting and understanding the sufferings (financial, physical, spiritual, marital ect.) of those around me. And yes, there seems to be too many to count. The other night as I lay in bed I found myself thinking of how 'sad' it is to be bringing a baby into this fallen, broken, painful world! I actually had those thoughts- sorry LORD! But the very next morning (at church) the Lord brought a friend through the doors of our church and Jesus gave me a whole new perspective through this friend. He helped me see HIS GLORY! Although this world is so badly fallen and broken and sick... God has overcome it and given to His children VICTORY in the midst of everyday sorrows. Such that we can say..."Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (1 Corinthians 15:55). Our worst fears and pains have been overcome and our tender Savior will not lead us down any path He already hasn't walked down Himself or that we can not handle. The line from a song that has been going through my head daily this week is, 'HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!'. I can't wait to hold this little one in my arms (in less than 7 wks) and say, 'Oh, how Jesus LOVES you. I can't wait for you to learn more about HIS LOVE and POWER to save and comfort.' We serve a MIGHTY GOD.
