Dear God, I am overwhelmed with joy today! Thank You for allowing me to be a spiritual mother. Open my eyes to those whom You would have me birth into the Kingdom and those whom You would have me nurture into maturity. What an honor! What a privilege!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
This was the prayer on yesterday's e-devotional. And at the top this verse "Make disciples of all nations" I heard it today on the radio today, and all I could think of was how Mike had us memorize it, "....baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit." Think God is saying something?
The e-devotion yesterday was about finally getting pregnant after years of trying, and then miscarrying her daughter. It never said if she went on to have more kids, just the fact that she grieved and was told to look at being a "spiritual mother" because through this path you also bare and grow fruit. And I agree, this is a blessing. To tell kids about Jesus and have them look up to you. It was the one thing that got me through mother's day last year. Mother's Day...oh Lordy it's getting close. I am seriously thinking about skipping church to avoid the heartache. Or submitting a letter to our Pastor. Something in me would love to speak a little on this topic. Especially after reading Hannah's Hope
My heart is full of pondering at the moment....

Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
Father, my heart is filled with doubt and I am afraid. I want to believe You, Lord. I want to step out in faith, trusting You to meet me at the point of my greatest need, but I am so weak. Please teach me to listen for Your voice above the crashing waves of fear and the deadly whispers of human logic. Give me the strength to keep my eyes on You - no matter what my sea of circumstances may be.
