Natalie has had this old table in her room for awhile, she used it for many different reasons, one of them being homework. I don't think it ever was really used for that b/c her homework is usually done in the living room. So she decided she didn't want it or need it in her room anymore. She said, "Mom do you want this table? You could paint it or if not, just get rid of it b/c I don't want it." I glanced at it & thought maybe I could paint it...then thought I didn't really know where I'd put it or what I would do w/ it, so it was on it's way out. So I went to put it outside & when I looked at it I was taken back. She had verses wrote all over it in different places. I said, "oh my gosh Natalie!! That is so awesome--you've got verses everywhere!!!" She said she had wrote them as a reminder or if she just wanted to see something good. We'll let me tell you this little table took on a whole new meaning for me. This was God speaking to my little girl. These were the words of our Creator reminding her of her worth in Him, of His love for her, & of the way in which He desires for her to walk in Him. So I'm sure you can guess, I couldn't get rid of that table!! It's in my room now, it's not serving any purpose right at the moment except to remind me that God has His hand on Natalie. I worry about her in ways that I've never worried about her brothers. I guess that's normal, she's my little girl, my side-kick, there's not to many places that I would go that she wouldn't have been to far behind me. Now she's becoming more independent. She's going to the edge of the nest, looking out & starting to flap those wings. It makes me nervous, it's bitter-sweet, but all in all...it's good! It's what it's supposed to be. I go to that table & I get to see & know that God always has & always will have His hand on & over this girl. That she's gonna soar & fly & her dad & I will be able to watch & see what she's gonna do all because her Heavenly Fathers word is in her heart & mind deeply!!! What a praise!!! So here are a few of the verses she has on there. I pray they bring you encouragement, comfort & strength!!! Ex 18:11- I know that The Lord is greater than all other gods. Matthew 5:37- Let your "yes" be yes, & your "no" be no. James 1:19- Everyone should be quick to listen... Jer 29:11- "for I know the plans I have for you, "declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future."
