A Gift On Mother's Day Week

his has been like every other week that I have adventured through. Looking forward to celebrating Mother's Day with my family, wondering what could possibly be rolled up like a scroll ,that good and perfect gift made me. I had kept my word to him not to peek until Mother's Day. Today, today would be all together different.Two days before the celebrating would take place, I was to have my own celebration. A celebration of the little life  that is being knit perfectly together within the secret place. I had been awakened by this most wonderful feeling. I could feel little bumps and kicks for about 10 mins. I put my hand to my swolen abdomen only to be able to feel nothing from the outside only the inside. It was dark in the house. All was sound asleep. I decided to have my own little celebration between God and myself.



I can't praise you enough Lord for allowing me to feel the tiny little kicks from this precious little life that you have placed in my womb. I had so missed this wonderful blessing once I had my good and perfect gift. Fearing that I would never feel this again. But you great and mighty Yaweh have made it posssible for this womb this secret place to carry another life, a life that I will pour Christ into. A life that will know your love and experience it through you working through me. I praise you that this has happened on Mother's Day week. You have given me so many precious gifts this week and I praise you for them all. In the words of your servant Mary who praised you for putting the life of your one and only Son into her womb:


My soul magnifies the Lord,



And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.


For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,


For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.


For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.


He has shown strength with His arm:


He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.


He has put down the mighty from their thrones,


and exalted those of low degree.


He has filled the hungry with good things;


and the rich He has sent empty away.


He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;


As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.






Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.


As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen



I praise you Lord for life ! I praise you for giving me the responsibility of two little ones to raise for your kingdom and for your glory! I praise you for the excitement of good and perfect gift and how He wants this baby to be here right now! How he just can't wait to see His new Brother/Sister. How my arms ache to hold this little one and yet don't want to give up the moving and kicking inside. I praise you for a husband who is understanding and takes good care of me letting me get the extra sleep and taking over bedtime schedules and story time. I praise you for a friend who prayed for this unborn child on Sunday at church. How she too has her own struggles with her own good and perfect gift. The way she keeps following after you in the times of hard Eucharisteo's Thank you that you are helping her to keep her sanity as you have helped me to keep mine. Thank you for proving the Dr's. wrong a second time. Thank you that it was your hand that put this life there. May he/ or she grow up as Jesus grew, in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. May this life run hard and fast after you. Trusting you in the hard times of life as well as the easy times. May this little life be one who shines soley for your Son. Jesus may you do great and mighty things through our family. Through our children. May they  and us lead a holy and blameless life before you. Holy Spirit would you work greatly through my husband and I to lead our children to Christ and then lead them in the way you want them to go? Holy Spirit would you give us all that we need, enable us to be the godly parents you have called us to be? Mainly in the area of  our tempers. Keep our tempers in check and enable us to keep going back to you for prayer and forgiveness when we mess up. Thank you for Grace, your wonderful marvelous grace that is greater than all our sins. I love you Daddy!
your daughter, ~ Lori

When the "Happy" is coupled with the "Hard" { along with a free printable!}

I t has been this way from the beginning. I can remember each instance. My husband coming to Christ and the terrible news that he had to tell me that came along with his decision to follow Christ whole heartedly in order for him to feel completely free.  My good and perfect gift being born and in the N.I.C.U for 9 days with a lung infection. Finding out I was pregnant with good and perfect gift and my husband becoming jobless. Joy girl being born, my Mamma not being able to live to see her born. Being a Mamma trying to parent against AD/HD, Sensory Integration Disorder, O.C.D. Now building a home and my Mother-in-Law being diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. Why does the happy have to be coupled with the hard? God really wants and longs to do the Holy inside each one, inside me! It pulls and stretches and sometimes I feel as if I'm going to be pulled straight through! Humbly, I seek him, trying not to throw the "Why" at Him. Wanting to ask Can't there be "Happy

It is the only way to Live and Breathe . This slowing to Give thanks to HIM who grows our faith in the GOOD , the BAD , the MESSY, and the right down gritty parts of daily life.                                      This slowing to Live thanks to Him who was and is and is to come. The one in whom we have our being. I keep it close by, my gratitude journal.  Where I meet with Jesus to live out this Eucharistic life.                                       Me keeping track of all his grace gifts. The good ones, the hard ones, the make you uncomfortable in your own skin ones. The ones that fill you with pure joy, and the ones that make you bend low with your face to floor in utter helplessness. God used one  joy sister to bring

My First Mother's Day Without My Mamma

Image
S he had said it right when she typed those words to me. I read them on the screen. "You will take many steps now without your Mom here but He will walk you through each one.  I had dreaded it all week sort of just put it off because I knew I wouldn't be picking out a card for her this year.                                                 I had needed to go to the store and simply walked right past the card isle.        I did not want to face it that I would be spending my first Mother's Day without my Mamma this year. She loved Mother's Day Getting flowers and cards from her children. She loved it for more than that. She loves being a Mamma. She enjoyed being home with us even when the days did not go well and we all gave her a hard time. She enjoyed watching us grow into ourselves and stumbling along the way. She encouraged, nurtured, believed, and the one thing she did most of was prayed. Prayed for our well-being. Prayed we would make wise choices
