Word-Filled Wednesday: Psalm 127:3


This is my beautiful daughter on the day of her baptism, just over eighteen years ago. She's a young woman now, embarking on her greatest journey in life. A journey none of us would have chosen for her at this time, or in these circumstances, but we rest in the knowledge that God, in his infinite wisdom, has a plan. This fall she will be blessed with a baby of her own, joining me in all the joy and heartache that is motherhood. So we go forth in faith, put our questions and doubts aside, and look forward to the reward of this new little one in our lives.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward." ~ Psalm 127:3

What a sweet photo - and the Scriputre passage you have chosen for it is perfect.
Sometimes we do just have to put our doubts aside and trust in Him to lead us - He knows our path :)

Thank you so much for sharing.

Blessings to you and yours...

What a beautiful picture of your precious daughter. The years pass by way too quickly don't they?! I know what you mean about not having chosen the path but accepting it and moving forward. After all, it isn't our plan, it is God's. Never let go of Romans 8:28! Good luck to you and your girl, God will take you both through it!

First, I'm SO EXCITED for you for becoming a Grandma! You are right in saying that things don't always happen as we plan or think they should. If it's a trial that GOD allowed, then we accept it and move forward. (We just lost our 11 year old son a year ago to cancer)

If it's something that we bring on ourselves.. then we PRAISE GOD that HIS WORD tells us that HE forgives us when we confess those sins to HIM.

1 John 1:9 (New Living Translation)
9 But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

I say that because I have gotten myself into so many messes when I tried to "walk alone." I'm just SO THANKFUL that we serve a mighty and LOVING GOD who shows favor and mercy to HIS children.

Now, that picture of your daughter is just BEAUTIFUL!! (I always wanted a girl.. I had 3 sweet boys though! We're TRULY BLESSED!) Can't wait to see the pictures of the grand baby! =-)

Have a GREAT DAY!
Love,
Tonya

How very beautiful! You found just the perfect verse for the photo and this time of your life and your daughter's life. A newborn is precious. I remember when I told my dad that we were having a baby and he said "he is already loved." It meant so much to me. I tell our son often how much his grandpa loved him so that he won't ever forget how much he has always been loved and wanted. Our son has been our reward indeed.
Wishing all of you the very best.

Playing Catch Up Again: The Guest Room (My 400th Post!)

Image
Well, surprise surprise. My 400th blog post! And wouldn't you know it's my first one in three months? (Imagine how many there would be if I weren't the world's worst blogger. LoL) So I just went through my last three months worth of photos and was amazed at how much has happened around here in that time. It's really no wonder I don't find time to blog... Now, to play catch up again. Or at least get started playing catch up. ;o) So... back in January, I wrote about our youngest son moving into a new room, which we painted bright yellow . Well, in April our 18-year-old daughter decided it was time to leave the nest, freeing up the teenager-coveted big room in the basement. Of course, little brother then wanted to move -- again -- and wished for the new room to be bright yellow -- again. Deja vu... I know, it sounds crazy. But I've been waiting a long time for the mom-coveted main floor bedroom to use as a guest room. (Yes, I know. I just set up a guest room...

My Family Left Me...

... but only for the weekend. :o) (Added Friday, February 3: As busy as I was this week, turns out this is my only finish, so I'm linking up this post today with Amylouwho's Sew & Tell Friday and TGIFF at Missy Mac Creations .) While they were away, I had a fun night of sewing with my son's girlfriend. Her mom has been planning an outfit for her to dance in a powwow at the end of March, and they want to applique a Lone Star on the back of the dance shawl. Would I mind helping her with it? LoL Silly girl. It was my first attempt at a Lone Star, and I usually avoid sewing diamonds altogether, so I'll admit I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. Still, it couldn't hurt to try. We started out with this photo for inspiration. We both really liked the swirly layout of the colors, even though it would make the assembly a bit trickier. A little more Googling brought us to " The Challenge of a Lone Star Quilt ," an excellent tutorial (th...

UFO Challenge: January Finish!

Image
I've been trying to keep from showing a full photo of this quilt in my weekly updates, just so I could have a big "reveal" with the final post. Finally the time has come! I really didn't think I could do it, but yes, it is finished -- and with a few days to spare. Now I know what I'm capable of if I just set my mind to something! And here it is, my no-longer-a-UFO, hand-appliqued rose quilt... The finished size is approximately 52" x 67." Hard to tell from this picture, but it is a large wallhanging. This photo gives a better size reference: As you can see, I had to pull the couch away from the wall to take the first picture. Some rearranging is in order if it's going to live in this room permanently. That big ball of fluff is our cat, Sarabi, who came to live with us from the shelter last summer. It hasn't taken her long to make herself at home. Here she is, glaring at our other cat, Reesa, and staking her claim on the cushiest spot i...
