wow!

today i am....

a mother who died but saved her little baby. my husband was driving, the family dog was in the back seat and i was in the passenger seat nursing my new baby on I-10. i know, i know that sounds bad that the baby was not in the car seat but you'll thank me later:) so... we had a wreck, a bad wreck! ems found my husband alive and me and the dog dead. the back seat of the car was where there was the worst damage and i'm sure the first responders were very worried about where the baby could possibly be considering the dog was underneath the caved in metal by the car seat. they got my husband out and headed to the hospital and then worked on getting my lifeless body out of the car. so they grabbed my hunched over body up to find my precious baby still nursing and alive! thank you god for using me to protect my sweet baby and to give my husband a companion through life.

love and obey

today i am............

a daughter who loves and shares the love of jesus to my gay mother. when i found out the reason my parents divorced i was angry and bitter towards her and then to top it off my father was very controlling. as i was getting older i started drinking and doing other things i should not be doing and then at 19 i prayed that special prayer for jesus to come in my heart. i started praying for my mom and my dad but still holding onto resentments and even though i had the lord in my heart i still messed up and ended up pregnant without a husband and really no support. Through the lord's grace and me receiving hope through my precious baby i was now ready to obey the lord and love my mom and father as the lord has loved me.

now i am me....
i love when i get the chance to hear stories like this because it reminds me that not only do we as christians still mess up but that the lord still loves us through it.
