This has always been one of my favorite names of God. Jehova Jireh can be translated as either "The Lord will provide" or "The Lord will see". Abraham gave that name to God in Genesis 22 when God provided a ram as a substitute to die in the place of his son Isaac. Jehova Jireh means so much to me on this day as Daniel begins his new job with the TAMU athletic department, as we receive the keys to our new home which we closed on last week, and of course as I sit here with a precious baby growing inside of me.
Most of our readers know that last September, I suffered a miscarriage with our first pregnancy. My due date was April 30, and as that time draws near, my thoughts frequently drift to that experience. It was painful and confusing and we didn't always know how to cope. Sometimes it was hard to believe that God saw our pain, or that He would provide relief. But here I am today, struck by His faithful testimony to us. These are life experiences which I will cling to as we experience other trials, because right now the primary thing I see is not our trial, but God's provision through it.

Makes me tear up... we suffered two back to back miscarriages before we had Jude. It was so incredibly painful but God was so faithful. Now I hold my 2 month old and am so thankful for how God has blessed me beyond understanding. If we had not lost our two other babies, Jude would not be here. God has a purpose for his life and I look forward to seeing that. Isn't it amazing to see a glimpse of the tapestry God is weaving in each of our lives?
