I was reading Isaiah 43 this afternoon and I just got this beautiful image after reading the text. I see God calling us to Him, protecting us and washing us clean.

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”

“Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear and say “It is truth.”"You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, and there was no foreign god among you; therefore you are My witnesses,” Says the Lord, “that I am God, indeed before the day was, I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?”

“…To give drink to My people, My chosen. This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare my praise.

“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. Put me in remembrance; let us contend together; state your case, that you may be acquitted.”

Have you ever felt like when you decide to do something, sometimes it feels as thought everything is against you? Well, today I wanted to go to the park and hangout with some other moms. The idea was to show up at 10am, but I arrived closer to 11:30am. Corbin napped longer than normal (I think he may have a cold coming on because he’s got a stuffy nose) and didn’t wake up till 10:30 and that’s also his feeding time. Yes, getting him ready and fed takes a whole hour. My life has changed from being the girl that got ready and out the door in 20 minutes to the girl that’s always late. It sucks! Even when I plan ahead, something happens where I get delayed. Thankfully when my husband is home, those days I do get out the door at a decent time. He’s so helpful!

The park day was fun and short. Like I said, I showed up at 11:30 and everyone left by 12:15. Oh well, there is always next time. I did however have time to take some pictures of my friends daughter, Kadence. She turned 4 months old today. Cobin and Kadence are one day apart.
