Worship...and Beks...

I had this blog floating around in my head yesterday but was never able to sit down at a computer long enough to get it written! As I was singing in church yesterday...I just was thinking...what a proud momma Bekah must have...you see yesterday was Bekah's birthday...and there she was on stage with her husband...not only leading worship...but truly worshipping herself! As believers, there is NOTHING we want more in this life than to see our children worshipping the Lord and living for Him...and here she is...CHOOSING...to spend her birthday with the Father! To you Miss Bekah I must saw...thank you for bringing joy to the 2 most important man in my life! I have watched 2 of the biggest changes in him in the last 4 years...the first...was when asked the Lord to save him...4 years ago this week...he was raised in church...basically made good choices (not that he hasn't had struggles)...he knew the "right" answers...and yet there was something missing that none of us knew...not even him until the Lord revealed it to him that special night...and since I've seen a change like words can't express...and the 2nd change came when you entered the picture...he has become whole now because the Lord has brought you into his life...I see you encouraging his walk with the Lord...I see him growing in the Lord...as a man and as a husband...you are a huge part of that! You have brought joy into our lives as you fit into our family perfectly! You are an amazing aunt and I know you think I'm hinting...and I promise I'm not but some day you and Michael are going to be amazing parents! Thank you for loving us all so well...Happy birthday again sweet girl! the real one! It dawned on me as I was watcher her it dawned on me...she was raised in church...could have gotten "tired" of it all and walked away...yet God CHOSE her for more...and I wasn't raised in church...survived my teen years without the Lord...and even into my early years of marriage not knowing HIM...and yet He CHOSE me too...so as Beks turns 25 and I turn 50...we stand and worship...all because the Lord is good and merciful and chose us!
