When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 2Ti 1:5
I’m going to be a grandmother again and today I went with my 2nd daughter to the doctor she was having a sonogram to see how far along she was in her pregnancy. This is her first child and my second grandchild and I had the privilege of getting to see the small life that was growing inside her. The awesomeness of God is so profound and his ways never cease to amaze me. It was pulsing (its heartbeat) it had a well defined head, and you could tell it was alive. My daughter is only 7 weeks and 3 days along but surprisingly there is life. Wow God has given again the gift of life to us. Another human being will come into the world. It will have its whole life to live.
Being a new mother my daughter immediately began to worry about how the child would be raised. Who would be the friends? Who would it marry? What would she do when it grew up and left home? She was overwhelmed with a countless questions and what if’s. She was realizing her responsibility in how this child would grow up and what it would be taught and how it would face life. Being a mother is a huge privilege but comes with great responsibility.
In the midst of her what if’s this is what I told her. Have you ever noticed that life begins with and L. I think that stands for Lord because without him there would be no life, or it could represent Love because to love is to live and God is Love. The word Life ends with and E. This stands for eternity because we will all live somewhere for eternity, Heaven or Hell our choice. The interesting thing is that in the middle of these two letters is the great big word IF…oh IF only I had… but what IF…… Here is a what IF for you IF you make Jesus your Lord and savior, then your end is eternity with him and the big IF in the middle doesn’t matter at all…it will all take care of its self. Wow kind of takes all the fear out of living. What we say to our children they sometimes forget. How we live our life will affect them the rest of theirs. How are you living your Life? Did you have the L in place? Lord, Love, if so then the E is in place and the big IF in the middle, well it doesn’t matter? Walk in faith not in fear it will show up for generations to come.

About Me
- Becky
- Macon, MS., United States
- I was born and raised in Mississippi and it’s where I live today with my husband of 26 years, Mike. The Lord blessed us with three beautiful children, Lesley, Sarah and Shannon. Accepting the role of caretaker, I moved into my parents’ home to care for my mother, who suffers with cancer, and my father, a great man of faith in Jesus Christ, who recently passed away after his long battle with Alzheimer’s. Loss is, unfortunately, no stranger to me. I was 29 when, my sister and best friend passed away from heart complications at the ripe age of 28. I am comforted knowing they are both reunited with our heavenly father in Heaven. Through my 51 years, I have experienced most of what the world has to offer and found my peace, joy and hope in Christ alone. I have worked as a software trainer for 12 years, but my true passion is loving people. My burden for souls is unquenchable. I maintain an unyielding stance against phariseeism. I am an outgoing, opinionated, intuitive, generous, passionate, forgiving free spirit, who loves the Lord above all else. While reading my blog it is my desire that you experience the Presence of Almighty God.
