Your plan
of all the people who has impacted me the most, my mother has imparted so much into my life. i can always trust my mum to be brutally honest with me... from... what you're wearing is not flattering to you need to fix this part of your character and get yourself right before God. and i guess at times that moment can be a point of tension but i was reminded today of just how much my mum has gone through, the immense suffering and sacrifice that she was often forced to experience. how, by the grace of God, she truly has been a blessing to me, and to so many more. despite so much, God has seen her through, and she acknowledges that by her struggles and pain God has positioned her to be able to help so many more people, to be able to relate to them and be a testimony of God's mercy and love. my mum is not perfect... and we naturally have our disagreements... but if i can be half the woman of God she is.... ultimately she has sacrificed so much for us and:
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.
- Ephesians 6:1-3
relying on You to help me....
but yeah... when i think about it... its amazing... i sometimes wonder how i would be with different parents... not even looking at the genetics, but from the perspective of character. haha God's plan is so amazing, how he brought my parents together... how at so many points in time,things may have worked out differently...
O Lord, You have searched me, and You know me.
You know when i sit and when i rise.; You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord....
for You created my inmost being;You knit me together in my mother's womb.
i praise You because i am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, i know that full well
my frame was not hidden from You when i was made in the secret place
when i was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.
all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.
how precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
how vast is the sum of them!
were i to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
when i am awake, i am still with You.
- Psalm 139:1-4. 13-18
You are my safeguard. You go before me. i know i am in safe hands
