July 14. What a day? Today is a day of expectancy...expecting each year to be reminded of just how dark some days can be; expecting this year to be reminded of just how joyful some days can be. July 14, 2005, the day that lilies and hopefulness came into the forefront of our awareness. July 14, 2009, the day that Lily Hope Hardy was due. My goodness...how good is our God? How perfect is His timing? How countless are His mercies? How good is our God? He is the God of full wombs. He is also the God of empty ones. He is the God of healed marriages. He is our God in plenty, and our God in want. He is God...sovereign, loving, and abundant. What else should be our response to our God but to lay back in His strong but gentle hands, throw our arms limp to His power, and rest?
Thank you to my precious friend, Ashley, for taking inspired pictures. You will never know what this picture in particular means to me on this day. Check out her amazing vision at http://www.ashleyrodgersphoto.blogspot.com/.
