May 2011
What I would wish for you is hardly a short offering or a
suggestion. How you have come into my
life was anything but predictable and the impact you have had on my growth as a
child of God as well as a mother I can not fully articulate even yet as I am constantly
growing within those roles each day. I
do not have “it” all figured out, but I do know that He does. I also know that He has firmly planted my
feet on solid ground when it comes to my faith and hope in making a lasting
difference in this world. I also know
that because He brought you into my life, He expects me to instill that same
clarity within your own heart as you sort through trials, temptations and the
trails along your own journey. That
opportunity/privilege is something I take very seriously.
One of the most important charges that I could suggest to
you is for you to remember who you are:
A VERY SPECIAL CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH AND ONLY GOD. Remember that He has a plan for your life and
that it is within this plan that you will find your purpose, peace and
joy. When you wonder why your life was
met with such pain early on, remember that what you have endured has made you
who you are. Your faith and ability to
endure tremendous hurt and regain your hope for your future is directly
proportional to the opportunities you will have in this life to encourage
others and experience a most amazing and satisfying relationship with Him who
has brought you safe thus far. His plan
for you is enormous. It will enable you
to soar to heights that you couldn’t have otherwise. He has provided for you by placing you in our
family and allowing you to experience tremendous opportunity that will enrich
each step you have taken and will continue to take as you establish yourself in
this world.
Regardless of where you go, I trust Him to go before
you. I pray for protection and provision
and providence in each space in time in which you find yourself. I am not always going to be “there” but I am
always going to be “here” for you. As
you grow in age you will grow in responsibility. I am blessed to experience your capability as
you have reached this space in time and I believe with all of my heart that God
is going to continue to grow you in every way that will cause me to continue to
ooze with pride as I felt so under qualified for the role that I knew I
couldn’t not accept. This role has been
my “crowning moment” even though it has taken me years to learn how to release
its gems…or so I have felt. It hasn’t
been until we have entered our own space and time with even greater challenges
that I have realized how complete I have become within it. I learned the truth of God’s word that we are
never fully complete unless we are giving ourselves away. Our gifts are given to us so that we can use
them to bless others. It is through that
process that we experience one of God’s ironies…that as we use our gifts for
the benefit of others, we are the ones who are blessed. I pray that you expect God to show up for you
in that most incredible way in which you will know for sure that His love for
you is immeasurable and His desire for you is not quantifiable but the evidence
of His hand upon you will not be something you ever have to wonder about. I can tell you first hand that when you know
that you know…that is all you need to know.
Keep your head held high as you walk through life. You belong to Him. He has a plan for your life and it is
guaranteed to be more than I could ever choose for you or you could ever choose
for yourself.
Trusting God above all else is my wish for you. Remembering who you are in Him and how much
He loves you and that His love never fails is all I care about you knowing
above everything else. When that is
front and center and at the core of your being, EVERYTHING you put your hand to
will work out to your benefit and for your blessing.
