Small

'It's in the small things that we discover the joys of life....'

It's...
...'my two boys running around the house naked after bath time...'
...'daddy coming home early unexpectedly and we end up playing in the park till after sunset, catching balls and flying aeroplanes...'
...'watching them long after they've gone to sleep, thanking God for these two miracles in our life...'
...'seeing someone special after a long time and catching up is the most natural thing, like you haven't even been apart...'
...'holding little hands in yours and knowing the love you feel for them is bigger than anything else in this world...'

It's when you experience God's grace unexpectedly and you know there is so much more to life than everything we are chasing after...

It's knowing that no matter where life take you, family will always be home and it's the small things they do that become the big things...

And this my boys is what I want you to remember, there will be many big events in your life and those may be anything from going to school the first time to your wedding day, the really wonderful ones.... and then there might be the ones where you bury a loved one way too soon and life might be falling apart for a while.....

But throughout your life, in those in-between moments there will be many small moments which will be the ones that will carry you through.... And mostly those will be the ones where God's grace will bigger and more than you'd ever imagined...

Because one day you will look back and it will be the small moments that make up the tapestry of your life and if you look carefully, they will be the ones that add up to make your life more beautiful than you could ever imagine.. And that my boys is what make life worth living for.....

TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven: (Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMP)

Story..

Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalm 139:16 AMP)

What a wonderful thought this is... God knew our story even before we were born.. All the days of our life were written in His book, before one of them came to be...
It's comforting, it's almost daunting, yet I know our lives are completely in His hands.. And that is the perfect place to be...

I love You Lord, I love that You know me inside and out and nothing is hidden from You..

My prayer for you my boys, is that You will seek God first always.. Let Him guide You in EvErYtHiNg you do.. The story God has planned for you is more beautiful. More amazing. More uplifting. Has more impact. More exciting. And captures the imagination in more ways and forms than you will ever begin to realise. And that is why I want you to follow Him in everything. There may be times when His way might seem unreasonable, unpopular, not what you had in mind but when you let go of all that, and you look back you will realise what He had in mind for you surpasses all that you had dreamed of.

I also pray that you will early on discover His plan and ideal for your life and that you will always follow His guidance, in the end if you fulfilled the destiny He has in mind for you, your story will be absolutely amazing..

My prayer for you my boys is that as your story unfolds, you will touch lives more profoundly, love others more deeply, Glorify His Name in every way possible and that your life will be an amazing story of hope and love and that no one around you will be able to doubt for one second who is the real Author of your story....

I cannot wait to see it, to be a part of it, and I already thank God for what He has planned and what He will do to accomplish it!

Broken...

Broken dreams...
Broken realities...
Broken hearts...

This my child is part of the circle of life....

One day your life is perfect and the next you're grasping for air, when out of nowhere your perfect is suddenly lying in a hundred pieces around you...

Broken....

and you have no idea how and if the pieces will ever fit together again... You struggle to see the light and some days you're not sure if you'll ever feel 'whole' again..

And then..

Slowly - you learn to breathe normal again..
Slowly - you see the sun shining again..
Slowly - you realise that healing comes by loving and to mend a broken heart, the only glue that'll hold the pieces together is love....

And dear child I want you to know that in your brokenness lies #grace.. Because it's only through allowing God to work through His grace that you become truly whole again..
And only through His grace can you see beauty more clearly,
Can you love more deeply...

And through His grace your broken leads to your new whole..
You grow, you learn, you become different.. And in that lies the beauty you should always seek to find..

Yes broken is nót nice, it is nót easy, it is nót something I wish you to experience often in your life, but when you do, because you will..
I want you to allow your 'being broken' to lead to your 'being whole' be something more beautiful than it was before..... Only then can your broken be something that God can use for you to getting closer to what He had in mind for you all along....

I love you so much my child....

Each one of you a masterpiece...

For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. (Psalm 139:13, 14 AMP)




If there is one thing I want you to know my boys, it's this - You are wonderfully made.. When God created you He was delighted and I can imagine Him loving every moment of it. He had planned the exact timing of when you would be given to us, and He has all your days written down already. I want you to know how amazing this is - that the God of the Universe is concerned with every little detail of your being and your life...








You were created to His image and He loves you more than anyone of us will ever be able to comprehend...



Yesterday a #royalbaby was born into the British Royal family. Everyone is delighted and in awe. My boys, if only they realized that all of you are Royal babies! And this I want you to know..



Your Heavenly Father is the King of the Universe! And that makes you a prince! We are all born into this world, but we are created for more than what this world could ever offer us.
And God delights in you more than we can ever begin imagining and more than the world could ever delight in this royal baby.





As I was watching Jaydon enjoying every second of drawing his pictures, concentrating on coloring his crocodile and the delight when he showed me his final attempt, I could not help but wonder at how God must delight in each one of us. I can imagine Him singing when He forms us in our mother's womb and every time just being in awe of every one of his masterpieces. Because my boys that is what you are, we are, each one a masterpiece made by our Father. And my prayer today is that you will never forget this, that you will never loose focus of Whose you are because you belong to a King who gave you His life and who knows your every thought before it even came to you. He is more concerned with every detail of your life than anyone in this world could ever be.

I love you so much my boys, I cannot begin to tell you how it means having you in our lives and even more so does our God.

Today, 4 weeks ago we learned the news that your unborn brother would never be ours to hold. That he would far too soon join our Heavenly Father in heaven. My heart still aches when I think about it, but I also know that he. is. now. perfect. he is living in the glory of just being with God and one day we will all be together in our heavenly home, perfect and without any sorrow and we will also then understand why he was taken from us so soon. He is with your sister, a princess, also taken too soon. And yet I know I am so very blessed. I have you here on earth with me, my two beautiful little princes, and in heaven your brother and sister who are watching over us.

So today as the world celebrates a baby born unto the Royal family, I am celebrating all of you. Each one of you, the two of you I can hold and kiss and delight in, and the two already fulfilling the purpose we are all ultimately created for- Bringing glory to our father and King in heaven.
