3 days ago I woke
up to a normal Wednesday not knowing how drastically life could change with the
arrival of one small baby girl.
As I write this
I am somewhere above Lake Michigan on a plane
to go see her.
Her parents
have always been some of my favourite people in the world. I must say tho, when
I was a bridesmaid in their wedding… or even further back when we 3 were best
friends with a ton of dreams, not knowing the future would hold love for them. I
never ever expected this trip. This journey into bringing tiny baby Katrina
Charis into this world to meet us.
Her name is
regal and important. Not just because this auntie would drop everything to go
be by her side in a Regina
Katrina means “Pure”.
Think of this
baby… more pure than any other with her early entry into this world.
Think of how
pure the Father’s love for us.
But God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Her middle
name: Charis.
Charis is the
Greek word for “grace”.
His grace is
sufficient for me.
This beautiful
baby girl’s name has significant meaning to me… I seem to be running a theme
this winter with my 40 day challenge.
A theme of love
vase as the ocean.
A message of PURE
GRACE sent out to any who believe in the greatness of our God.
So as I look
out of this airplane window to a sight so vast, I remember his love.
His pure grace.
A love that no
scroll could contain the whole, tho it stretched from sky to sky.
May pure grace
penetrate your heart and even at a moments notice change your world around
completely… even as tiny Katrina Charis has changed mine this week. J
(40 days of
purpose/blogging will resume when I get home this weekend as there is no
internet access at the hospital.)
