The Gift of Shallow Waters

I thought she had been a woman always living in fear, but she was really a woman who fiercely battled misplaced fears, in order to fear the only One she should. And that is a crucial difference.

The dissection of fear allows us to see how it has the power to seduce and to save.

“Scars” by I Am They

When ya just don’t know how to say what you want, heading out the door to the sunshiny park solves a lot of those toddler communication (ie: crying, frustration) moments...and an iced coffee for mamma helps too.
17 years ❤️ 2 days late #reallife Ps...I’m happily surprised we have more than 1 picture of just the two of us over the last year! 😉😍
Hagar, remember her? Sent away, despised, beaten, mistress—a mother unable to provide for or protect her child. Could anything be more painful, more anxious, more dark for her than to watch her child die? But God saw her. He heard her cries, and provided for her . Too often, when we face decisions, when we are hurt and scared and cannot provide for or protect ourselves, we seek control. If we could just control the situation than... But ‘El Roi’ We have a God who sees. We have a God who hears our cries and provides. We don’t need to be our own savior, we already have one who is mightier than all . After two weeks of internally clawing for control over a foster placement situation that has yet to resolve, I finally rested on this, “I have a God who sees.” It doesn’t matter that a social worker can’t give me more information, it doesn’t matter that I’m already attached to a child I’ve never even met, it doesn’t matter that we don’t know when, or even if now—I have a God who sees ALL. I don’t need to attempt control in this situation because it would make me feel far more comfortable to have it. I can sit and wait patiently and lovingly and prayerfully without knowing the ending, the outcome . What if my role, our role, is simply to be faithful in prayer for an unborn little one and their mom? What if God’s answer to a Mother’s plea’s are to have another mother pray unceasingly for safety, protection, knowledge, and health. It doesn’t matter this other mothers past, choosing to love by praying for these things is what God has called us all to do. When it hits close to home, when it burdens my heart to the point of not being able to stop thinking about them, that’s when I need to remember how God loves me—because that is how I am called to love...yes even mothers who are unsafe, even mothers who are fleeing, because I have been that unsafe, fleeing mother too. And look how God loves me...because He sees me . . . #fostercare #fostercareawarenessmonth #reframingfostercare #prayerwarrior #prolife #birthfamilies #thisisfostercare #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged
