Formed By Him

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;" Jeremiah 1:5.

As I awake this morning rejoicing and praising God for the safe arrival of my new granddaughter, Kherington I am both humbled and eternally grateful for this verse God gave Jeremiah as He was calling him into service. God has also breathed these words into each of our lives. Once we are a newborn in Christ our slates have been wiped clean and the sky is the limit when we allow God to be authority over everything in our lives. We are the little infant totally dependent on our parent for everything fully trusting in Him, totally dependent on Him and not knowing any other way for survival but through Him. God has known us since the beginning of creation and delivered us into this world with a purpose and a plan that is not of our own. We have all been set apart and created in an individual way that only God knows.
Father, I commit Kherington back to you for your will, plan and protection over her life. Amen.

Brenda, Good Morning! Seeing the picture of baby Kherington in Bruce's arms and her little eyes set so intent on his eyes makes me think of just how we all should keep our eyes set on those of our Heavenly Father's.
We rejoice also in the safe arrival of Kherington and thank Him for the precious gift that He has sent Kristen & Wayne. (And ALL OF US, TOO!)
Have a wonderful day bringing Kristen & Kherington home. Don't spoil her in ONE DAY! Save some of the spoiling for the great-grandmother to enjoy!
We love you.
Mother & Dad
