Hey, girlfriends!
Tomorrow is Monday so it's time for another Cover to Cover recap of our chronological readings of the Bible. This week there was a lot to read and I could write a lot about what lingers, but I will just mention a few things.
I loved reading about Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi. I heard someone do a talk about this story and after reading it was reminded about Naomi being called "bitter" by herself. The speaker talked about the names we call ourselves. "Don't call me Angie, call me_____." I could put a lot of adjectives in the space that would not Glorify God. In those times when my self-esteem could be a little shaky I want to remember to call myself... loved by God just the way I am!
In the book of 1 Samuel I loved how Hannah prayed so hard for a son and promised to give him to the Lord for all of the days of his life. She kept her word and gave Samuel to the LORD.
I'm excited about this next part...
My daughter has lived in New York for almost a year. She's grown up so much. I've noticed how much better she is doing especially when it comes to the healing of her heart that was broken by an old boyfriend. She is so much healthier now and I keep telling her to trust the fact that God is in control of her life. I think she is starting to believe it. I think she is starting to believe Him! I pray she is. If it's okay with you, I think I will dedicate the verse below to my little girl, Meghan! Yes, she will be 23 years old in June!
1 Samuel 12:16
"Now then, stand still and SEE this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes!
I am enjoying our readings so much. If you want to read more insights on this week's readings go visit Bev and the girls.
Have a great week!
Love,
Angie xoxo

How darling she is, and I am giving Him some serious thanksgiving for her heart to be healed and found in Him. That is a mother's prayer answered. Great post, Angie. Love, Annette
Oh where does the time go? Sometimes it is just too hard for me to look back because I miss it so much. I think that's one reason I kept having babies. Being a mom can be such a tough calling!
This is a great picture of your daughter, she looks so sweet, innocent and happy. I am sure you miss her but what a relief that her heart is healing!
I really like what you wrote about how we have names that we call ourselves and how that reflects God. I need to spend some time thinking about that. Very good insight!
Have a wonderful week and thanks for the offer of plasma over at my site (lol).
Love,
Kelley
Give thanks to the Lord!!!
Love this!
I'm inspired today. Yes ma'am I am. :)

Hi Angie,
Thanks for your great post this morning...I love the picture of your daughter and the prayer for her...it really touched the cry of my heart...my oldest will be graduating soon from high school and has had some woundings as well...I want to declare like you that we will see the great things the Lord will do in our children's lives...I love the expectancy of that verse.
Thank you so much for that encouragement this morning.
Have a blessed week,
Helen
Thanks for sharing Ang! I, too, love the expectancy of that verse and sometimes cling to it as the kids grow and mature.
I love your mother's heart. That picture of your girl is so precious. I always enjoy your comments Ang. Loved the verse for your daughter----may God show her what's in her heart and she continue to follow HIM fully. Stand still! They said that so many times! Love you!
What a sweet picture of your daughter. I pray that God has captured her heart and she will understand His great love for her! Thank you for sharing your heart and your love for the Lord. Thank you for visiting.
