Encouraged...

I've chosen to spend my evening resting over Baby Jay and just listening to the sound of her breathing.  It's so motivating and refreshing in its own way.  With every breath I hear I am more and more thankful to God for being so loving, and full of mercy to allow us the privilege of having Baby Jay on this 22nd day. While it's so easy to get discouraged as doctors shake their heads and have long given up on her, I refuse.  Instead I choose to be encouraged.  Only Satan wants me to be down, but I bind every dart and ounce of negativity that he sends my way in the name of Jesus.  It's already done and praises to God have already gone up.  I'm encouraged because I trust God's plan.  Thankfully His plan exceeds me and my mind.  I come boldly before His throne everyday and I make my requests known to God through prayer and supplication with much thanksgiving.  Still standing on His word.  I'm encouraged because I have hope.  The Word tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.  You better believe that although it's hard to see the hope is definitely there.  I believe that no matter what the doctors think or say, God's will will prevail.  Definition of encouraged - to have hope and confidence.  Today I choose to be encouraged and tomorrow I will choose to do the same. God is good.
