So it’s been one of those days. Not what you are probably thinking. It’s been one of those, “wow, God has really blessed me days.” We have those days when we feel like God is out to get us and we spend days (and sometimes weeks) wondering if He has forgotten.  Then out of the blue He breathes and we know it, and we feel hope again. I just realized that the last couple of weeks have been building up to today. God first began to build my trust by answering little prayers, and some not even prayers, just whispers in my heart. Then I began feeling Him in the little things again. And now today, I just breathe and it feels good.

Being a first time mom rocked my world in many ways. Prayer came out of the closet and into a rocking chair. Some of my best times with God since Bella got here have been while I’m rocking her to sleep.  She falls asleep and I keep rocking her and God speaks. 

My devotion time is almost a joke. Most of the time the only Bible reading I get is reading to her one of her toddler Bibles. God can speak through one verse that is broken down, so a 20 month old gets it.

I know I’ve jumped around, but if you know me….this is how I think and talk. I’ve said all that to say this, God has blessed me, especially when I haven’t deserved it. I haven’t fasted and prayed like I should. I haven’t spent hours alone with Him. And I haven’t read the Bible through in a year. But He has blessed me with a marriage that’s better than it’s ever been and a daughter that blows my mind everyday. I have had hard days, sometimes weeks or even months, but God does open our eyes once again to see what He sees. He is amazing.

  Today is father’s day and it brings different emotions for everyone. Some joy, some sorrow, some laughter, and some regrets.  Today it brings me joy and hope.   Joy because God has blessed me with such an awesome husband and I get the pleasure of seeing him father our daughter everyday for the rest of my life.  I can’t even begin to express what it does to me when I see him with her.  He is so gentle and loving, but also a big kid that is her best playmate.  She adores him and the feeling is mutual.  

It brings me hope.  Hope for our generation and our future.  Alot of men get a bad rap b/c of the faults of others mistakes, but I am here to say that there are great father’s out there and my husband is one of them. I so believe that we can change this generation with God and with a healthy functioning family (not perfect, doesn’t exist, but healthy).  We can do our part of changing the world and it starts with our family.   So today I have hope for what is to come b/c of what I see in my husband.   Our daughter can have hope b/c he is giving her an awesome example of our heavenly Father.  

So this is my last gift to you my rockin’ knight in shining armor………….I blogged for the first time to you!  I honor you today and everyday, you are amazing!   God went beyond any expectation I had when I prayed for you,  I love you.
