Scripture Sunday

""Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30

Heavenly Father, I pray that You just bring peace to this loving mother tonight. She wants so badly to do everything right for her little girl and we all know that it's tiring when we try to take all of the burdens of the world onto our own shoulders. Help her to lift all of these struggles up to You. You are the only One capable of handling all of these things. You are the only One who knows all of the right answers, Lord, so help her give these to You and follow Your lead in her life. Lord, I praise You for this woman, because You know we need more mothers like her in the world. Bless her in her daily life and remind her that You are with her always. In Your name I pray, Amen.""

This comment was left on my latest post on Lauren's blog, and I thought that it would be a perfect way to start Scripture Sunday, especially since I know nothing about Scripture, and I can't understand the Bible. I think that's part of the reason I go to church, is so I will be able to understand. If I just read it for myself, I have no clue what's being said. I need a kid's Bible, and even then, and especially now, with my foggy brain, it doesn't help much. I only know the basics - creation, Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and my personal favorite since I was little (no idea why, because it is about killing a cow) the Golden Calf. Other than that, I really have no clue.

So, thank you Becky for being so kind and generous to pray for my family and I and know that we are praying for you also.

And again, I know it's nearly 3 am, I am having issues sleeping, although tonight I am actually tired, just waiting for the AC to cool the house down, so I can go back to sleep. But then, Lauren will be up, and I will have gotten only 2 hours of sleep, just like the past who knows how many weeks. I guess it's me getting prepared though, right? Only 46 more days to go, 6 weeks 4 days left, and I go from a mother of 1 Earthly child to a mother of 2. And I will be by myself for most of it. But that's another post. This one is entirely too long and I am entirely too tired to start ranting about that right now. Just read the post below this one - short and to the point.

Thanks to all who pray for us, and I will pray for you too!
