Gabrielle's Mommie

I love you. Even though I’ve never met you. Even though I’ve never kissed you. Or looked into your eyes and felt my heart smile. I feel so honored to have the pleasure of being your Mommie. The one who loves you unconditionally. The one you can depend on to help you and be there for you. You’re mine, but most importantly I’m yours. I think about you all the time. Not like I can help it, if I pause even for a moment, while I’m running in this maze called life, your hiccups, kicks, and rolls excite me back into the reality that we’re together. Yes me and you. Your presence reminds me that God is my strength. I love the fact that He named you that. Because it means that I have calm assurance that you will be a strong woman because He is strong. He gives power to the weak and to those that have no might He increases strength! AWESOME! I think about some of the things we will do together. Laugh at an inside joke. Share a smile from across the room. Cuddle for story time. Fall asleep in each other’s arms. Watch some sunsets, watch a lot of sunrises, and enjoy all the beautiful days in between. I think about sharing ice cream cones, baking cupcakes, hearing you say I LOVE YOU MOMMIE, and feeling my heart break because I can’t express how much I love you back. But I’ll find comfort in telling you "I love you 2 Gabby", until Jesus tells us an even more expressive way to verbalize love. Today I thought about how me and your father have the privilege of re-introducing you to our best friend. You’re His thought, before He formed you in my womb He knew you, and He loved you. Watching you grow to know him is a joy that fills my soul and spills out into a celebration in my spirit that gives me hope, faith, and assurance. I am yours, you are mine, but most importantly we are HIS. I love you my sweet Sugar Baby!!! My heart, My Baby, My Gabby!!!!



Love Your Mommie

Flight 771



Libyan jet with 104 crashes; child sole survivor


TRIPOLI, Libya – A Libyan plane carrying 104 people crashed Wednesday on approach to Tripoli's airport, leaving a field scattered with smoldering debris that included a large chunk of the tail painted with the airline's brightly colored logo. A 10-year-old Dutch child was the only known survivor.

The Dutch prime minister said everyone on the Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A330-200 arriving from Johannesburg, South Africa was killed except the child, whose survival was hailed as a miracle.

The youth was taken to a hospital in Tripoli and was undergoing surgery for injuries including broken bones. Libyan TV showed video of the dark-haired child lying in a hospital bed with a bandaged head and wearing an oxygen mask. The child had intravenous lines in one arm and appeared to be conscious.

"Afriqiyah Airways announces that our flight 771 had an accident during landing at Tripoli International airport," a statement said. "At this moment, we have no information concerning possible casualties or survivors. Our information is that there were 93 passenger and 11 crew aboard. Authorities are conducting the search and rescue mission."

Libyan Transport Minister Mohammed Ali Zaidan said 96 bodies have been recovered from the wreckage and rescuers were searching for the rest of the victims.

The head of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek said the child's survival was "truly a miracle." The plane was approaching the airport in the Libyan capital Tripoli when it crashed at around 6 a.m. (0400 GMT, 11 p.m. EDT Tuesday) There was no immediate word on the cause, according to a statement by the airlines posted on its website.

Flash Love


A love song for you
A word from my heart
True because it’s from you
Pure because it’s for you
I praise you because you think of me when I don’t think of you
A love that isn’t dependent on what I say or don’t do
I am so thankful that I need you
A split moment that I didn’t think
A flash of danger
And I blinked
Never sleep or encumbered
What I missed
Your mind had already weighed, counted, and numbered
Thank you for looking out for me
For helping me even though I don’t deserve it
I thank you for being worthy
For loving me
Even when I’m not loving you

Love,
Nina

Still There :)

Its just so good to know that even when we mess up and turn away that Jesus is still there! His love will NEVER change!! We don't have to be afraid!! He is always there :) Peace Be Still



Jesus Will Still Be There

Things change, plans fail
You look for love on a grander scale
Storms rise, hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day
When the going gets tough
When the ride’s too rough
When you’re just not sure enough

(chorus)

Jesus will still be there
His love will never change
Sure as the steady rain
Jesus will still be there
When no one else is true
He’ll still be loving you
When it looks like you’ve lost it all
And you haven’t got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

Time flies, hearts turn
A little bit wiser from lessons learned
But sometimes, weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again
When the going gets tough
When the ride’s too rough
When you’re just not sure enough

(repeat chorus)

(2x)When it looks like you’ve lost it all
And you haven’t got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

With Long Life


First of all I would like to say I am back from a long break. I am overwhelmed with praise for our Creator! This weekend was a trying time for me. But I praise God because He is merciful and longsuffering! Not because I have done anything to deserve his mercy, but I praise Him because He is worthy!!

Thy Word is Truth (John 17:17)
Jesus is the living word (John 1:14)
Jesus is Truth (John 14:6)

I was reading Psalm 91 which is a word directly from Jesus. Dwelling in the secret place of the Most High is abiding under the shadow of the almighty, which is abiding in Jesus!! He WILL deliver you from the snare of the fowler and You shall not be afraid of the terror by night! I laughed when I read this! It’s supernatural!!! Basically you will not fear TERROR!! Hallelujah!!!! Awesome!! You shall call upon the Lord and He will answer you. He will be with you in trouble and deliver you and honor you! With long life He will satisfy you and he will show you His salvation!! I praise God because His word is TRUTH Jesus is TRUTH every word is true and I wanted to testify of this!! This song really sums this up!! I will PRAISE YOU FOREVER With LONG LIFE you WILL satisfy me and Lord in my life be Glorified :)))
