Lord, thank you for this sweet baby girl with her head on my heart and my heart in her hands. She is so beautiful to me. I know the last year has been tough, Lord, but you've never left our sweet family's side and for that, we're grateful. We've weathered the storm and come out closer to you and closer to each other. I thank you for the personality you gave our sweet Jaleigh Bean. She is amazing, Lord; headstrong and determined. I know you don't make mistakes, God, and that she is destined to do big, big things for you.
Thank you for trusting her daddy and me to raise her and her siblings up in the way that they should go. Please give us the tools and the heart to seek your will in their lives, every single step of the way. Please heal her sweet little body of wahtever is making her run fever and feel badly. Thank you for all our sweet babies, for their uniqueness, and for their sweet spirits, and for blessing us with the privelage to raise them up. Help us to encourage, not discourage them and to build them up as giants for you, Help us to remember that as impactful as words are, our actions and our intentions are what they take in the most. Help our actions and thte way we treat one another to be a reflection of your love for us.
Thank you for my husband, God. It never ceases to amaze me you create one man and one woman to be together and that, when we're in your will, you bless us a thousand times over with our perfect match. He is absolutely, positively the most wonderful, thoughtful husband and an absolutely amazing father. Bless him, Lord and continue to guide him while he leads our family in your will.
Give us strength, Lord, to continue on this journey you've called us to, because in your will is where we want to be. I know I've struggled, Lord, and even questioned whether you knew what you were doing landing us hundreds of miles away from our families. We've seen you pour out your blessings in the people you've placed in our lives and as hard as it is to stay focused on your will, I'm so grateful for the wonderful, wonderful friends you've given me to help me along (though I honestly can't wait to be home with my momma...). Every problem we've been faced with, you've countered with a solution that blessed us tenfold. Help us to take those blessings and bless others, Lord.
Lord, you've given us a phenomenal testimony with which to share your love. Please give us the mountain tops to shout your love from, and the people you wish to hear about it. I love you, Lord, and I'm so grateful you chose me to love and me to bless with this wonderful family. Thank you, Lord. ~amen
