Life Through My Lens
Dearest Heart
![... (continued from previous post) When I got home I chased Natasha, laughed with her as she threatened to put lipgloss on our resistant cats, shared some blueberries, & danced in the kitchen remembering once again how the moment I was living in was something I had earnestly prayed- no BEGGED- God for years ago. In my old Bible I found Post-it notes covered with prayers for my unborn child (some selfishly and sheepishly asking for another daughter 😉) & I got teary-eyed knowing that while I was covering the pages with prayers [many private ones removed before taking this photo], Tashie had already been dreamed of and was being made into the beautiful person we all love. It was like getting a wink from God. I imagine that when she arrived the smile on His face was even bigger than my own. This right here is how I want to live every day. I want my people to see me laughing more, smiling more, worshipping God more- remembering His goodness & being full of faith. I want love notes on chalkboards, Post-Its in Bibles, patience with messes & mistakes and so much gentleness & grace. I share this because I don't want anyone to ever think I haven't struggled with any of this. But I also share to say that there is hope. If you need prayer for anything- anything at all- please never hesitate to reach out to me because I promise you, aside from raising my children, there is nothing I value more or love more than leading people into the arms of the One who rescued me & continues to rescue me daily. So much love to you today and every day. ❤](http://marybethhancher.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
