Hope all is doing well these days. I must say so far so good at work. Barely any mention of my AP and her newborn. My due date is looming (next Monday) and I am not sure how I will feel that day, but as for now I am taking it one day at a time. Same thing for Mothers day. I never particularly liked it as my mother is deceased and has been for years, and I think this year will be especially worse as I should have been a mom by that time. Oh well....thats the way the cookie crumbles.
I have been on a faith run lately and the latest scripture I found is Matthew 21. This scripture speaks volumes. It was when Jesus and his disciples were in Bethpage Jerusalem, and the elders were selling goods in the sanctuary. After he reamed them out, he then went to Bethany and found himself hungry. He looked at the Fig Tree and found that it had no fruit, and being the sassy man that he was he said; "Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth forever" (v.19).
The disciples saw it and they marvelled, saying, "How soon is the fig tree withered away!"
Verse 21 &22 says, Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer believing, ye shall receive.
Have you ever seen a mustard seed?? It is practically invisible. If I have faith that small, and not only have faith, but don't doubt as well, anything is possible!
If there is something that you want and are hoping for, if you have faith that small, it will happen for you. I was once told that the human faith is powerful beyond measure.
Please remember me in your prayers tomorrow. My appointment is at 2:30 pm and I am reallllllyyyy nervous.
Awaiting my expected end.
The "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed" scripture has always been one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHang in there tomorrow, I'll be sending extra prayers your way! :)
I'll be praying for you tomorrow, as well as on Monday. Hopefully, instead of it being a difficult day for you, it will only be bittersweet--full of many wonderful memories of your time with your sweet AJ!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the faith verses--I'll be looking over that one again tonight!
I found a sense of peace after Lily's due date was over. That date was just the barrier to my sense of well-being. It was just another day to most people, but it meant a lot to me and my family. We released one pink balloon and we each wrote a note to Lily on it...and, lit a candle in her memory.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for your strength and continued faith as you await your expected end...
I just recently found your blog and wanted you to know that you are so inspirational, and your faith is amazing! I pray that God blesses you with your little miracle soon! (((HUGS)))
