| 10-7-2010 - An explanation of the middle name I choose for my new baby girl, Abigail Faith. |
My mood while writing this blog: Happy |
Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
When I lost my baby last October, I had lost my faith. I didn't see another child in my future. I was so depressed. I couldn't understand why God had let this happen to us.
When I found out I was expecting this baby, I was shocked to say the least! Picking her first name was easy, but I struggled finding a middle name. Until one day I saw the word Faith and it just spoke to me. The word literally (well almost literally) jumped off the pages at me. I mean it might as well been surrounded in blinking lights. This child was a sign that I was getting my faith back! When I found the name Faith, I went from wanting a boy to wanting a girl, so I could give her this name!
So when I think about my Abigail, to me she is the substance of everything I had hoped for, and the evidence of everything I could not see. She is my Faith. She proves that God always has a way of showing us His love. His timing is perfect. And though we may not always understand why things happen the way they do, God will always reveal to us His perfect plan. And He is always on our side. And when you least expect it, He will restore your faith. He is restoring mine in the form of a precious baby who will be named Abigail Faith Shirley.
I guess I felt like sharing this with you guys cause I wanted you to know that God will give you the desires of your heart. He loves you more than you could ever imagine. When we feel like there is no hope in sight and we don't know how to continue on, that is when we have to trust that He will make a way for us,even when there seems to be no way. Philippians 4:6,7 says "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." It is something that I am learning, daily, to do. God will provide, always. He has never, ever, let me down.
