When I was pregnant with my sweet little boy, Graham, I felt like God told me to pray for JOY. So I did, I prayed over and over again that he would have a joyful spirit and be full of the joy of the Lord. And from a very early age, I could tell that God answered that prayer. He continues to bring so much joy into our lives, our friends and families, and even into strangers lives.
Now, being pregnant with my precious baby girl, the words that I am praying over her are LIGHT and JOY. In my first trimester, I drove to a park and sat in the car and just began praying for this tiny baby growing inside of me. And the word that I got for her was LIGHT. So I've been praying that she would be full of the light of Jesus. These scriptures come to mind when I'm praying for my daughter...
"For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true." Eph. 5:8-9
"You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden... Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." Matt. 5:14, 16
"If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light." Luke 11:36
Continuing to pray that our little girl would be full of Light and Joy...
This is me, pregnant at 32 weeks. We're growing strong! Not much longer to go though...
