Cover to Cover... crushing walls





Tomorrow is Monday and that means it's time to share our insights on the cover to cover readings of the Bible chronologically. If anyone wants to join us, we'd love to have you!

It's my daughter, Meghan's 23rd Birthday tomorrow!!! She was born on Father's Day in 1985. It has been a pure joy to have her in my life for all of those years. I can't believe this, but she is turning the same age I was when I had her. It has been an honor and privilege to be her mother. She has been so easy to parent. She was the first miracle of God I saw with my own eyes. I remember a moment when I was in the drive through line at the bank when I looked over at her with tears in my eyes in awe of what God had given me. I'll never forget that as long as I live.

Meghan has made me more than proud. I could go on and on about her but I think you'd think I was over the top! I'm just crazy about her and miss her so much living in New York City. Thank God for video chats. This afternoon we were able to talk through the computer and I could see her cute little mannerisms.

Meghan shares my love for music. I asked her what her favorite song was and she told me, "Walls" by Tom Petty. I decided I'd share it with you! She has such a big heart! I believe God loves her so much and He's the Only One who is capable of crushing down walls with His Love! I also need to remember all things are possible, even crushing down walls ...with God!

Oh, here is my favorite verse of this week's readings...

Not to us, O LORD,
not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness. (Psalm 115:1)

God deserves every single bit of the Glory and I am so thankful for His grace and especially for my daughter today! Please pray God Blesses her this year more than ever and places people in her path who can show her His Love like she's never seen before!




Happy Birthday, Meghan!
I love you!
Mom

Happy birtday to you sweet daughter. At my former church, there were many of us from 10 to 80 who were born in June. A teen wanted to pray for all of us and didn't know all of our names, so I whispered June babies to her. Ever since, a group of us has prayed for the June babies. Your daughter is in the June babies club now.

Beautiful daughter. Beautiful mother. As you spoke of your tears in the drive thru, I could almost feel that...I am not a mother and have chosen it that way; however, I find envy when mother's talk of their children. I am only 34 so who knows what God has in store. My life has been turned upside down, inside out, so at this point, I wouldn't be surprised what things He does. I can imagine looking over and feeling the same as you did so who knows what that feeling means.
Thanks for sharing.
Love,
Paula
