"Let us not become weary in doing good, at the proper time, we will reap a harvest, if we don't give up.

I chose this verse from Galatians 6:9 to share with you because I believe, not only will God bless us abundantly if we don't give up, but he finds pleasure in blessing our sowing. Let me explain.
I know I have already spoken of this crazy doll my daughter loves and wants soo.. badly.
Well it's now about 1 and 1/2 mos from her Birthday when I will give her this beloved doll. I will give her this package with the utmost of joy in my heart knowing she's going to love it, and it is just what she wanted, only God himself knows how much she deserves this doll. She has expressed faith unbelievable from the eyes of a child, not even seven. She continues to save everything from headbands to clothes for this doll. Tonight as I sponge rolled her hair she said "Mama when I get my American Doll I am going to roll her hair like this. She mentions this doll at least 3 -4 times a day. Not in sadness and sorrow from loosing the first one, but in faith. So I know she deserves the doll, but part of me is going to be sad as I make her dream come true. You see the doll she so desires and loves, has become a desire of mine to give it to her. Because I love her, It is my desire to reward her, but the common bond waiting on the doll, day-dreaming, and living her dream with her and watching her faith has brought us so close that she has even told me" Mama I know why you don't want an American Doll because You have a real one." talking about her. In my heart I pray "Ohhh. God, I want to make her dream come true but Lord please help us still to share that common bond, and help her never to forget where that doll came from. No I am not jealous of the doll I just want to continue the relationship we were able to build through the waiting.
Thats when it hit me. I believe God is wanting to give me my miracle with Russell just as much as I am looking forward to giving Gracelyn this doll. But this situation has brought me so close to the Lord, sharing my dream with him, believeing in him, building my faith, giving me strength to act as if God had already conquered it,knowing he had that I myself want nothing to come between this relationship he's built over the past 17 or so years with me. Just as I want Gracelyn to remember where her doll came from, I'm positive God wants me to remember where my miracle came from, so that I may Glorify him. And I pray I will never forget the faith he built within me and the relationship he created through out the waiting years and I will never look at Russell without seeing the love of Jesus and saying Thankyou!! Help us to bring joy to you Lord through the gifts that you give Amen
