dad and i had a tough conversation a couple of nights ago. we were worried about you guys. we were worried that we wouldn’t be good enough. that you wouldn’t be happy enough with us. we thought, what if three handsome boys is too many? what if we can’t financially provide? what if we can’t emotionally provide? is this what god wants?
and i cried. and he worried. and we prayed. and i talked to auntie megan, and auntie mary susan, and auntie kelly. and dad got an email that talked about judges 7:2-8. that passage tells a story about god and gideon. gideon had a big army. god took away a lot of gideon’s soldiers before their battle so that their victory, in the end, would be the lord’s. so the lord could say, “gideon, you have won your battle because of Me and not you. My grace and love for My people have given you this blessing.” in the end, god gave gideon an impossible task so that He could make it possible. in doing so, gideon and his soldiers knew the only way they found success was through god’s glory alone.
god alone.
are you the impossible? yes. are you the impossible that god can make possible? yes.
he has chosen us for you. chosen. that is a special word - a word with thought, intention and purpose.
i can’t wait to touch you, hug you, kiss you.
love, mom
