This past weekend, I attended the FBC women’s conference with 108 amazing ladies. As we stood together to worship, I was struck with the amount of life experiences within that room. My roomies are a perfect example of the beautiful women that I am so thankful and honored to call my friends. I have so much to learn from the precious ladies of FBC.Last night I went to bed a little early attempting to catch up from the lack of sleep from the weekend but instead I ended up reviewing my notes from the retreat. Lately I seem to be looking at everything from the perspective of “Annika’s Mom”. This weekend proved to be no different. There was one verse that I kept going back to that I would like to ask you to join me in covering Annika.
“God’s your guardian, right at your side to protect you. God guards you from every evil, He guards your very life…He guards you now, He guards you always.” Psalms 121:5, 7-8 msg
As I wait to finally hold Annika, I know there is only one that can truly guard and protect her. The accounts of the Russian orphanages seem so dismal, but I believe He will guard her and keep her from harm. I have often prayed that she would somehow feel God’s arms wrapping tightly around her. This is one verse that I plan to pray for Annika throughout her life!
