What a great night. Shawn and I got to have a date night. It was hard to not feel guilty, but I almost forgot what it was like to have a grown up conversation.
God has been putting many things on my heart.
I know that I must share Nathan's story so each and every prayer that is answered can be a testimony to His faithfulness. If I don't share, then God can not be glorified. Also this is a difficult journey, our journey is not over. There are many prayer requests. God hears our prayers!
When things were really hard, sometimes it is hard to post. I will do my best to be transparent. Our schedule is very hectic, and time restrictions often do not allow me to post. Thank you for walking this journey with us. Thank you for your prayers!
I completed an exercise for a friend this week in honor of their birthday. I see birthdays as a celebration of the person, but also an opportunity to glorify God. You are honoring the CREATION and the CREATOR. I made a list of 50 passages of what the Bible says our identity is. How does God see us? We were created in his image, we have been set free . . . . and the list goes on. It is hard to have a bad day and be down when you focus on how God see's us and what he has done for us. I will try to include the list tomorrow.
It is also very convicting to look at your life and how you are glorifying God. Its an opportunity to take away anything that does not glorify Him. I am far from perfect, I am sinful just like everyone else. But I want to continually try to be better.
This is one of my favorites from the list:
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14
How great is our God that He can use us, despite our sin, to be instruments to accomplish His will.
