Kailey's scripture...

As mentioned in a previous posting I have chosen scriptures for each of my kids to pray over them. In the story before I told how each of the boys came along. If you care to read that check it out here http://crosbyspalace.blogspot.com/2006/04/andrews-scripture.html.

Well just for those who don't know I will put all the scriptures on here.

AC's - Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you." declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Trace's - Psalm 127:3 Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.

Andrew's - James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights , who does not change like shifting shadows.

And now for Kailey's...

Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.

This verse was chosen because I believe it paints one of the most magnificent pictures. How amazing a thought that our Lord, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords takes such delight in us that he rejoices over us with singing. I participated (or tried to) in a summer musical and we sang a song that sang of Christ singing and dancing over us. Well through out the practices Steve (our Music Pastor) had us do devotionals over the different songs and I chose this song. I found this scripture and it has just stuck with me ever since. When she was delivered the thought that my Lord and saviour is rejoicing over my daughter like I was, was just an absolutely amazing picture. I didn't really think about this scripture being Her scripture until I was praying about it last Sunday and I opened my bible and sure enough there it was. I showed it to my mom and she agreed that it was perfect for my little girl.

I hope that I never forget what amazing gifts my children are and that these scriptures continue to remind me daily that God chose them for me and me for them, and he planned it. Its all in his perfect will that my children are my children and that I am their mother!!! I thank God that he uses little reminders each day to keep me from quitting and giving up when I am exhausted and think that there must be a mistake I'm not made to handle it all. It can be a little smile from my kids or an amazing unexpected hug. Picking up my bible and seeing their scriptures or rereading a previous post I wrote a while ago.
