This upcoming Sunday will be my first Mother's day as a mom! I am very excited about it and couldn't be more in love with my little girl! This Sunday though has significance in more than one aspect though, it is also the day that we are dedicating Elizabeth to God. I want her to live a life that is not only fulfilled and happy, but glorifying to God. I cannot wait until the day that she comes to me with questions about Jesus and how He loved her so much that He died for her. Having a child makes this impact in a different way than it use to. I love God, and even though I have made my fair share of stupid mistakes and sins, He still loves me. He looks at me through the blood that Jesus spilled and sees His perfect little girl. That is exactly how I see Elizabeth Grace. And I know that no matter what she does as she gets older I will always love her, there is nothing she could do to make me stop loving her. The day that she discovers that she is loved by a beautiful Lord and Saviour will be the greatest day!
My prayer for her is that she lives a life that is full of love. That she will become a young woman of God, living each day for Him. I know that I have failed many times in this aspect, and being human she will too, but I also pray that she knows that she is loved, and that no mistake is too big to make God not love her.
