9 Months

Friday, January 18, 2013


Our sweet Greyson is 9 months old! Somehow this child is still managing to get cuter. The love that I have for him just blows me away. Yesterday, while driving in the car I had a total breakdown as I stared at him through the rear view mirror. It was over once he looked up at me with those big blue eyes and cheeky dimple filled smile.

I  have these recurring moments where I get completely overwhelmed with how much I love him... so much that my heart literally aches. And I swear to myself that I will do some serious damage to any living soul that dares to harm MY child...like serious damage y'all.
 
It's a scary thing.
To love someone so intensely.
I think it's one of the most vulnerable human experiences.
To long for the absolute best for this miracle that you are responsible for.
This precious little soul who has your whole heart for your whole life.

Oh, how I need me some Jesus.
I can't do it alone.
The world of worry can absolutely consume and suffocate me.
I am constantly crying out to God to protect and guard my child.
To equip me with His strength, love and wisdom.


Philippians 4:6-7  is my verse these days...

6-7 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.


And in Him my heart finds rest.
