Today's is momma's birthday! She was my daddy’s mom who raised me from 6 years old to 18. The Lord allowed her to be with me until my high school graduation. A few months later, God said, “Your purpose on this earth has been fulfilled. Come home, beloved...” •

Momma, 31 years later, I did it! I walked across the stage to receive my MED! I’m grateful and praise God for accomplishing this goal. Thank you for everything you instilled in me. Thank you for demonstrating to me what unconditional love, patience with myself and for others looks like. Thanks for letting me see how a woman who truly loves and depends on God lives and behaves, and how she perseveres despite life’s challenges. I appreciate you teaching me how to be a mother and grandmother who cares, supports, loves, defends, protects, and prays for her children.

Today is a special day for me and I love celebrating it! December 5th is the day my soulmate was born. The Lord allowed my mother-in-law and father-in-law to create a beautiful and loving and compassionate and gentle soul (I can go on and on). Will you help me wish the love of my life a very, special, happy birthday? Today, he turns 50!
Happy Birthday, my love! May this day be filled with lots of laughter, fun, joy, and love! I love you 😘

“GOD WORKS WHILE WE WAIT
REFLECTION
If we are honest, we all hate to wait. In fact, most often we say something like, “I can’t believe this is taking so long; it’s costing me time I don’t have!” That’s because most of us consider waiting to be wasting. But it’s not so with our God.
God works while we wait. Even when you can’t see what He is doing, God is always orchestrating the events of heaven and earth to accomplish His purposes for your life. Trust in His unfailing love—love that moved Him to send a Savior from heaven to restore and rescue you. God’s plans for your life will not be thwarted. Wait patiently, knowing that waiting is never wasted when you are waiting on God.
MEDITATION
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel’s Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Charles Wesley, 1707–1788
PRAYER
Father, I am here waiting for You. My heart and hands are open to Your purposes and plans for my life. Give me the patience I so desperately need and lead me in my waiting. Though my feelings may not be there just yet, I believe You are moving on my behalf right this minute, protecting, defending, preparing, providing. Give me grace to keep trusting in You in the face of the gale force winds of doubt that are blowing all around me. Anchor my heart in You. Amen.” #youversionbibleapp #walkinginfreedom #morningencouragement
