Butterflies have always been precious to me since I was a little girl. Dolly Parton's Love is Like a Butterfly is probably what introduced me to their beauty. I remember my mom buying me a metal hanging of butterflies. Blues and greens come to mind. I have loved how they begin as caterpillars and go into hiding and push their way out to be this glorious butterfly in so many colors and patterns. My dream is to one day catch one of these beauties on film.
Birdnests and God kisses ~ it was a day where I was in the thick of my infertility journey feeling kind of useless. There was no fruit to be seen from the love between my husband and I ... I was sad. Sunday morning, a woman shared about how she wanted a God kiss in the form of a bird nest. To remind her that there was fruit in her life on its way. I sat in that service and asked God for a kiss...and I told Him it does not need to be a bird nest ... I needed something to encourage me. This happened at the time my church did two services. So I served in the next service. I was on the floor with the kids when over popped my Aaralyn buddy... and she sat on my lap and said to me "Today your lap is my bird's nest". She pretended and I praised. Oh Father, You are amazing. This is not a useless time in my life... this is history in the making. This little girl, these children, are gaining from my life. I am not useless but very much being influential in their lives. He kissed me that day ... He sang over me. He filled me with encouragement.
