Reflections on Time

It seems like yesterday that I had a brand new baby girl, but this week she turned two! Two full years have passed since we brought Hailey home from the hospital. She has changed our lives in so many ways! She is a joy and at times a little terror. I call her my little diva because she is loves attention. Of course it goes without saying that my life would not be the same without her.

So my thought for today is how many times in life do we pass up a life altering opportunity because of fear. Change is scary, it was when we brought Hailey home from the hospital. Change was even more scary as we planned for our new baby. Four kids I couldn't imagine it! Four hungry little mouths, daycare would go up, diapers, and baby gear that we had gotten rid of would need to be repurchased. Of course with all that fear their was the joy of expectation and that joy overcame any apprehension we had!
Philippians 4: 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with tthanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

So the question of course is what if you took every new and frightening thing and treated it like that... Instead of facing your dilemma in fear why not face it with the expectation of something new and beautiful~


Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun ta good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ

Life will change. You will wake up and look back realizing the years have passed and so much has changed, but if you trust God and move forward without fear, grabbing hold of each opportunity he presents, and trusting him along the way the result is beautiful!
