My Heart Is So Tender

It has been an emotional weekend.

My precious friend Lauren had her baby. It all began Friday morning at 12am. Hudson was born Friday night at 6:34pm. Oh what a perfect and healthy baby. Praise Jesus!!! Lauren had a few difficulties related to the way our precious Lord made her but He was so faithful and carried her all the way through. I was able to see her today and she is doing great. She is blessed to have a wonderful husband and lots of family surrounding her daily. The plan is for her to go home Monday. I have pics from her baby shower at my house and pics of this precious new life, they will just have to come a later time.

Then my heart goes out to kelly and her husband. She is a blog friend I have followed over the last several months. You can go there to read her complete story. I have never spoken to her, I just came across her blog and her love for the Lord and her friends and family was so appealing. She had her "miracle" baby after trying for five years on Friday also. Kelly seems to be doing great, but Harper was rushed to Tulsa to a Children's Hospital. The details are on her blog, but I am asking anyone who reads this to trust that this family needs prayer. I truly believe God will show His faithfulness whatever the turn out.

This morning God was speaking alot to me regarding moving forward and not ever moving back in our spiritual journey. I know what to do and I know the desires of my heart, Satan just wins over and over again and I become so inconsistent. I was very emotional and I am very determined not to let this continue to happen. The Sunday School teacher spoke on trials and crisis and how God uses pain to make His purpose known. It is so important that we have a foundation built on his promises so that when crisis come we are prepared.

During the service because my heart was already so soft, a man in his 30's i am guessing went to the altar. You could tell he was so burdened, he is not someone I had seen at church before. With a short sleeve white tee on and jeans, not judging at all just trying to make the point that he looked new to the environment. No one was with him and no one acknowledge him. He just walked down, knelt at the altar, then got up after a few minutes and walked out the side door crying. My heart was just aching wondering what is he hurting over.

Lord I pray for this man right now. I pray that the people around him become aware of his burdens. Lord I pray if you are working in his life that you continue to. Fulfill the areas he needs fulfilled. Lay people in his path that will route him the right direction whatever his crisis might be, AMEN.

As I read blogs, women are so amazing how they make Jesus so well known to others. I am praying daily that I get to know Him more so that when other people are hurting I can guide them and give them the correct word of encouragement. Thanks for reading and letting me share my heart.
