Challenge Creative team assignment "Peace"


The two small flowers are attached to a tab that pulls a letter out. The letter says "You are such a blessing! Mommy is so thankful she had been able to stay at home with you. Mommy has always wanted to work at a big church and have her children there in private school. Before you were born Mommy was doing just that at Second Baptist Houston. Two weeks after you were born Mommy was offered a new position, one I had been waiting for. While this seemed like the perfect opportunity, the Lord gave Mommy a heavy heart. Daddy and Mommy prayed about it, knew the Lord wanted me at home with you, and Mommy turned it down. I've been at home with you since and have loved every minute of it!"


The journaling on the page says, "Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
I pray that one day soon you will know the Lord's voice, listen to it, and when you do, know His peace."


This decision was made just after my husband was given deployment orders, we had a baby, and had made the decision to sell our house. There was a lot going on and although we couldn't see it, the Lord knew what was ahead.

Absolutely beautiful! I think the Lord is moving His people towards raising the children in His ways. All the Christian friends I have that just had a baby, the Lord has asked of them to stay home. May He honor your decision by providing all your needs! Smile

Beautiful job Tanya. The pictures are beautiful. Your little girl is adorable. Your letter to your little one is so touching. I know what you mean when it comes to having a lot of things going on in your life, but as we later found out, God is indeed in control. We just need to hear His voice. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Best of luck to you and all of the ladies trying out for this.
