Genesis

Welcome to the new family blog! Do you like the name? You may be wondering where arrows came from!? With the surprise pregnancy of Chloe, I remember thinking of the bible verse found in Psalm 127 that speaks of children being a blessing and blessed is the person whose quiver is full.

          "Don't you see that children are God's best gift?
           the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
           Like a warrior's fistful of arrows
           are the children of a vigorous youth.
           Oh, how blessed are you parents,
          with your quivers full of children!" Psalm 127:3-5

With having a fourth child I surely felt we had a quiver full of arrows! I came from a small family. Just one sister! I remember seeing bigger families and being amazed but also I loved the dynamics of a larger family. It just looked like fun! So now we get to experience the fun and challenges of being blessed with a quiver full!

I like the background to this blog because it makes me think of the wide world and how we are also called to go and make disciples of all nations (found in Matthew 28). I like to think that Chase and I have the opportunity to take these arrows God's given us and ready them to be sent out as warriors for the Lord and how desperately our world needs them.

That is a tall order but we are given one life and my life rather my call, in this season, is to focus on these kiddos. It's a challenge for sure. But we are up for it.
