Another Road Trip

Greetings dear and precious Sisters-in-Christ, This past weekend was another road trip to North Carolina and this was a big event that we couldn't miss. It was the gender reveal party!! Yes, first for my son who was going to be a grandfather and first for me for I was going to be a great grandmother. The invitation's asked that we would wear the appropriate clothing for our guess on what it was going to be. We left Saturday and drove for 9 hours - this time alone where it is just the two of us discussing whatever comes to mind. We arrived at our destination to find out that all the family members were attending. This was a very big deal for I had not spoken or seen my grandaughter for about 4 years and her dad had not for about 2 years. I prayed that the birth of this child would be a miracle bringing family members back together. And indeed the Lord answered so many prayers that my son and I were exhausted but in a good way because the love that surrounded all of us and the laughter that could be heard was sweet music to our ears. On the drive home we continued to share about what had just happened in our lives. Once again, I was reminded of this - His lovingkindnesses and compassions are new every day. This past weekend was a realization of this promise fully known. We parted ways Sunday afternoon for the others needed to get back because they all had to work. My son and I stayed for another night and drove home on Monday. And guess what? Wren Michelle is expected to arrive the end of April. How merciful our Lord is. Tuesday morning being throughly exhausted from the drives and the celebrations the Lord led me to 2 Peter 1:1-4, "To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be mulitplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everthing pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who call us to His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust." These 4 verses spoke to my heart for I had just come from a weekend of God being present and so many answered prayers that I was filled with such awe of who God and Jesus are and desire to know and experience more and more. Let us pray - Abba Father, Gracious and Mighty Lord, let us worship You this day and thank You for who You are and how beautiful and radiant and glorious are Your promises. I ask that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ know how fully she is known and how graciously You are there to greet them in the morning and tuck them safely into bed each night. In Jesus Name, Amen. May He continue to reveal,
