My Legal Pad

In August, when I was just finishing my second trimester of pregnancy with Sarah, I was feeling a little overwhelmed with some details of The Crossing. I was so excited about it and a little scared that everything was going to fall through and it wasn't going to happen. One night I got out the closest thing I could find to write on and wrote out all the ways that God has been so faithful to our family. Yesterday I got into my car and that legal pad was sitting on my seat. Just sitting there all alone.  I thought Jason put it there for me to remember God's faithfulness, but he had no idea what I was talking about.



I was reminded of all (well, not all, but many) of the specific ways that God has answered our many prayers, and then I read the prayer that I ended it with. Here is part of it.

...Thank you for what I read today in Exodus 12-15. You have a powerful, mighty, outstretched arm... Thank you for all that you have done for our family...May I always remember that all the glory is intended for you! You alone are God and you alone are worthy of our lives. Of my life. You are bigger than ALL circumstances! I love you...

What a great reminder for me. I am so thankful. It seems as though our family has been under great attack. I think Satan is trying to thwart the work that God is doing and I am not going to let him!! After all, I know the end of the story. Satan, you lose. My God has a mighty, outstretched arm.

...Headed outside to hang out with the boys...they have the water hose... which is very dangerous...
