Over the past couple of years we've been given many Bible verses to encourage us, sustain us, heal us, and rebuke us but this is the first we've received quite this way. On the right hand column of the blog you'll see a painting that a family friend of Shan's painted. Shan's parents buy every grandchild a painting for their first birthday. For Noah we walked through many art galleries to find the one we wanted and with Jordan it seemed so clear that Kim could paint one for her personally. With the painting she wrote this "Love Letter to Jordan" from her Heavenly Father and I just loved it. It was so creative the way she put it together and she unknowingly used so many of the verses that have spoken to me in the past.

That is a very special letter!
The painting is special and unique. I'm sure that Jordan will cherish it when she gets older!
I love this! What an amazing thing perspective is... grouping these already familiar verses together to give us a better understanding of God's love for us, a better attitude of thankfulness, and a higher view of God's sovereign and perfect character. Thanks for sharing!
PS I just love this version of "In Christ Alone" you have on your blog-- I listen to it over and over and over again. Rylan will ask to please put up your blog so she can sing along. Love it!
