Happy 3rd Birthday Precious Daughter

I have been incredibly blessed with some amazing people in my life that pray with me, for me, and speak so much wisdom and truth into my life! I am completely blessed with some of the wisest and most Jesus loving women! They have been praying for my October...that I could come to love it again, that I would rest in Him as I weep and trust...and I can tell you from experience that prayer is powerful!!! As a whole this October has been full of joy! Little things that the Lord has done to make it a little easier...like my brother and sister in law just hopping in the car and heading to our neck of the woods and spending the night with us !!...my mama being able to come and spend three nights the week of Lucy's birthday!...the Lord has been so kind to me and has allowed me to realize these were gifts he was giving me! He is the giver of good gifts!!

As hard and sad Lucy's birthday is I have promises to cling to! I have precious words that dear friends have sent me to remind me of the God that loves me...words like "I'm praying for you as you weep deeply over what you've lost and then turn your eyes to all that you've gained in Jesus"..."will be lifting you up as you weep and trust in him."..."Been on my mind all week. Praying for you to feel and know His comfort this week and that you will approach the throne of grace knowing Jesus understands your pain and can carry you in and through it. Love you."...These are just a few from the many that have been sent our way! Again, these are good, precious gifts from Him!I have clung to these words from all of these dear friends as I have and will probably continue to weep deeply today and for the next several days. I will weep over my little girl that I miss so much!! But I can and will weep with hope!! And I know that the God of all comfort will comfort me!

So Happy Birthday my precious daughter! Your Daddy and I love you with all of our hearts! We are so thankful for your precious life and can't wait to spend eternity with you!!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
