Pure Joy!

Things have been pretty quiet here on the ranch. Jeff is in Bull Sale mode, so his days have been a little longer than normal. Baby Ayers is growing, he likes to play around 6am and 8:30 pm. I feel like he is just having a party in my tummy!
My doctor gave me a book called Pure Joy. It is a daily devotional of blessings for me to speak over Ayers. Mommys spend these 9 months making sure to eat healthy, excercise, not lift to much, etc. to take care of the little growing body inside. We do a lot of things to nurture the baby physically, but sometimes we wait until the baby arrives or until we think he is old enough to start nurturing his spirit. "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. It is never too early to intentianly nurture the spirit. There is so much power when we speaks things out. God spoke this world into existence. Proverbs 18:21 says "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." The things we speak effect us more than we realize. Speaking life, destiny, identity, favor, and blessings over Ayers while he is in the womb has life giving power. These blessings also bring so much peace to me and have helped cast out any fear that comes with being pregnant. So far it has been such a great pregnancy, and I know that it will continue all the way to seeing little Ayers's face. God has amazing plans for Ayers, he has destiny and blessings for him. He is breaking generational curses and setting up life and freedom in him while in the womb. I am very blessed to have this little bundle of joy inside me. I can't wait to see how God will use him!

A few of my favorite blessings so far:

Child, I call your spirit to attention in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen as I read the word of God to you. Psalm 149: 4-5 "For the Lord takes delight in his people, he crowns the humble with salvation. Let the saints rejoice in his honor and sing for joy in thier beds." I bless you with experiencing the presence of God in your mother's womb. God designed the womb to be a sanctuary. He designed it to be a safe place. I bless you with meeting the Holy Spirit in the womb. May the Holy Spirit brood over your spirit. May you become intensly familiar with the flavor, the touch and feeling of the presence of God near you. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless you. Amen

Child, I call your spirit to attention in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen as I read the word of God to you. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15. "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphial procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." I bless you to do good works with the flavor of heaven about you. People may apprecieate your competence, strength, and character, but may they be drawn to you because you are wearing perfume of heaven and it's fragrance lingers around you. May the music of heaven grace your life. May the colors and the lights of heaven emenate from you because you are never seperated from the love of Christ. May the glory of God fill your spirit. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I bless you. Amen.


PS I recommend this book to all moms and expectant moms!
