Amazing "Grace"

This week I have decided to feature blessing #1. Hannah Grace. Hannah was named after the Hannah in the bible and her middle name was chosen through the tough pregnancy that God allowed me to endure. Hannah was born on December 17th after missing her original due date of Dec. 15th. I will NEVER forget the everlasting peace that God granted me the day she was born. I was blessed to have my mother with me for her delivery. Hannah was induced and later on, history will show that all my babies were here w/in 6 hours all weighing in at 8lb. 10oz. God is so good! God truly has blessed Hannah in so many ways. Here it is almost six years later and I still wonder why He would bless Shawn and I with such a remarkable child. The only thing I could come up with is..."...to whom much is given, much is required." There is no righteousness in my life that would ever deserve such a blessing from the Lord so I figure that God wants to do something mighty w/ her. She is on loan to us until the Lord comes back so it's up to us, Shawn and myself, to raise her up the way "HE" wants her to be. Not any way else! Sometimes people have a way of saying that things would be done better if they were done this way or that way, but I often wonder....what about God's way? As a mommy, I know I haven't done everything right. God reveals that to me when I commune w/ him in fellowship. My ONLY desire for my children is that they will give their heart AND their life to the Lord! This world has so much for people these days but sadly parents don't teach their children that all they need is "Him"! Hannah has been given some talents from the Lord and we want to stay humble and abased so that maybe one day God will allow her the oppurtunity to use those talents for him. My desire is to see each of my children grow up w/ the "Touch" of the Lord on their lives. That really is, all that matters! That they find the Lord and seek to give them their lives....not just their hearts. God has been so good to our family and it's our desire to live for Him! I thank God for the blessings he's bestowed in our lives. My sweet little girl is not perfect by any means but if I desire to see her turn in to a Godly woman one day, I have to submit to God's word and God's will in our life. I thank God for my sweet blessing! It's only by "His" grace that we are so blessed to have children. I thank God for Hannah Grace!
