Eleonore -- Shining Light
Grace -- God's favor
I sat waiting to meet a friend
for a birthday celebration.
I was shocked.
I was amazed.
While I didn't need an explanation on
HOW it had happened
Moments before,
I had just seen the double lines
and was like "Wait.... what?"
Years ago
all things baby
had been sold,
consigned,
or given to someone in need.
On the precipice of
what I thought was "being done",
life's trajectory
was instantly changed
one summer evening in July.
Sitting and waiting
my emotions perplexed
the Lord spoke softly
calmed my questions
spoke to my heart.
He confirmed,
really what I already knew.
His plan is perfect.
His ways impeccable.
I knew this unexpected blessing
would surely be something grand.
Growing inside of me
she was
surrounded by prayer
serenaded by song
and exactly on her due date
was welcomed with expectant and loving arms.
He made her perfectly
fierce
loyal
loving &
kind
a lover of people
with a discerning heart
in possession of so much compassion
it oozes from her being.
She is a joy bringer
with the belly laugh to beat the band
She brings life.
She brings energy.
She brings fun to the dullest of moments.
She is brave.
She is strong
and can do whatever her mind determines.
He has created her
with resilience
with passion
with a heartbeat for Him
I knew back on that day
200 months ago
that indeed the Lord
had great plans for this one.
There is NO doubt
Eleonore Grace--
shining light of God's favor
your story is just now
getting started
I wait eagerly
with an expectant heart
and confident mind that
"God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won't stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns." (Phil. 1:6)
