Another Mothers Day has come and gone. I pray that those of you that have mothers were able to be with them, and I also pray that those of you that are mothers were able to be with your precious children! And, of course I pray that those of us without someone to make us a mother yet were able to rejoice in hope that our day is coming!
There were moments yesterday when I was good, and then there were moments when I was overcome with emotion and just couldn't hold the tears in. Our time in worship yesterday morning was so powerful and a time for me to pour out my all to my God that is so good. Even though my heart was hurting, He's still worthy. These lyrics were on repeat in my mind all morning: "there will be an end to these troubles, but until that day comes, still I will praise You, STILL I will praise You."
I am so blessed to have a loving, godly mother who has been an amazing example of what a mother should be. I pray that one day I can model what she has shown me.
I'm also so blessed to have precious, caring friends who let me know that I was on their hearts and that they were praying for me. It is truly humbling to realize that others do care for you and hurt when you hurt.
God gave me a tangible reminder of that today. I got home from work to find a small square box on my doorstep. I recognized the return address as that of sweet Jill, but didn't know what it could be!
I started unpacking and found this...a pretty planter...
But what's inside, you ask?!? Well, just the cutest little apron!
Do you see that adorable little owl? She knows me well ;)
I love it so much!!
But the sweetest part was this most heartfelt card that I've ever received. And, it's pretty too ;)
Jill, your words and prayers mean more to me than words can say.
You have been a true picture of the love of God to me. I'm SO thankful for you. I'm SO thankful for Amelia - your miracle - and I know that you are praying for mine too. You are an incredible blessing to me, and so many others. I love you so!
How has God shown you His love lately?
I had my moments yesterday too Faith, but I'm standing strong in the hope for the Lord's will, and believing our miracle will come! God Bless you, Love your blog...and I love that apron Jill sent... so adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift/sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI,too, was humbled by kindness lately.
Love that sweet apron and card....
sending you prayers and ♥
I hope you have a blessed week! I pray you will soon have a mothers day where you hold your own child close. I understand the hurt on Mothers Day for those who are childless through infertiliy or miscarriage. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this heartache.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,
Megan
Sweet Faith, you were on my heart so much this last week. I've been praying for you by name daily and I believe that God will grant the desire of your heart! I will never, ever forget the pain of infertility and my heart has ached so much for you and all of my blog friends who are waiting on their miracles. Please know you are never forgotten!
ReplyDeleteGod just knows what we need. That's all. And the gift of friendship is one of the sweetest blessings He gives us. Jill is so precious! I'm so glad that gift came at just the right time to encourage your heart!
ReplyDeleteI prayed for you all day yesterday and will continue to intercede on your behalf until we are celebrating YOUR miracle!!!!! You are going to be a mother, Faith!!!! I believe!!!! Love you so much!
ReplyDeleteThat apron is SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you for SO long and I will not ever give up praying because I KNOW you are going to be a wonderful mother!!!!! And Chad will be a great father!
I'm believing in something great for you!!!
I know exactly what you mean. I went to the grocery store and they were handing out flowers to all the moms...that was so sweet, but to me it felt like a jab in the heart as I passed by and didn't accept one. Hang in there, I know this will happen for you and Chad and when I see that post on your blog I am going to celebrate and praise God so much right along with you!!!
ReplyDeleteGod's timing is perfect and he'll always bring that encouragement at the exact moment we need it. Love you Faith, and praying for you. I know your time is going to come and when it does we'll all be rejoicing with you!!
ReplyDeleteJill is so sweet!!!! I have been praying for you by name! I am just waiting in God to give you more than you could ever ask for!!

ReplyDeleteGod is good and I know you know that and you are loved, in more ways than you realize.
Girl, I texted you straight from my pew at church and I didn't care who saw me. I could not get you off of my mind and I never texted back but I do think we need to get together asap, too! :) SG was sick that whole weekend so my day was CRAZY! I love you! Hang in girl!
