Im your beloved




Lord it was you who created the heavens... Lord it was your hand that put the stars in their place... Lord it was your voice that commands the morning.. cuzz even oceans and their waves bow at your feet.. oh God.. Lord who am I compared to your glory... Lord who am I compared to your Majesty.. I am your beloved your creation and you love me as I am.. You called me chosen for your kingdom, unashamed to call me your own. I am your beloved......


By now you are probably singing if you know the lyrics to the song above. This song has been on my heart for a few weeks now. I listen to it, and I cant help to cry, it touches the inter most part of my heart. And today I listen to it with a different heart, I cant help but to worship and thank God that He has called me His beloved. When the Lord blessed us with our son, my world changed. He blessed us abundantly and thought maybe He did, because He didn't know us better. Hahaha... He didn't know what kind of parent we would be. But today it was confirmed that we will be parents again and this time He knows what kind of parent we are.


He is such a sovereign God that despite our fears and failures He trust us with yet another one of His children. I am in awe in how He would use this vessel to carry and nurture His son or daughter. It isn't anything that sal or I did ( well maybe... I mean Im not Mary but you know what I mean) but it is because He loves me and calls me His beloved and has called me chosen to further His kingdom...


I started FFF and had no idea that the marathon I was going to run this year was not one that was to be ran on a physical course. I had a desire to run a marathon and to get in shape but I kinda knew that another child was my husbands heart desire. The truth is one day I just went before the Lord and asked Him to help me. In tears and broken I admitted that I wasn't even sure what my hearts desire was anymore. I needed Him to make the decision and if it meant not running this year I was ok with that. I was struggling between being self fish in my own pursuit to be that athlete I wanted to be. Well exactly a week later I took a test and I was pregnant. In shock but grateful I thanked Him that He knew me better than I knew myself.



This isn't the end of Faith, Food and Fitness for Real, only the beginning because having gone through this before it definitely takes all the above. The difference is that my blogs might come a little later, I may miss some day and they will defiantly be hormonal sometimes. Hahah


I know this was supposed to be part #3 of my retreat series and I promise I will bring it back tomorrow. I just want to enjoy this day and share with you my blog readers. My faithful friends, who care enough about me to come to read the little I know and whats on my heart. Thank you, I covet your prayer and please know that I pray for you to. I dont know half the time who reads it or if anyone but Renay and Carol read it, but Lord knows and so you are in my prayers.


“For You have formed my inward parts;

You covered me in my mother’s womb.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Marvelous are Your works

And that my soul knows very well.”

Psalm 139: 13-14


Love you all,

Mon!

  2. Its so funny that the very same day that you were going to share your beautiful news, I was rushing to work and I felt so bad that I still haven't called u back. Then at a red light I looked to read a scripture from my little black Bible that you n Noah got me 3 yrs ago...then I took that pic and send it to you. I just knew it! when u text back that you were gonna have another baby! I had to call you!! I was so happy that entire day @ work. Here is the scripture I got : "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
    I am so exited about being an auntie again :)
