Grandma and Kayla Marie



I forgot to add the picture!

Kayla Marie

On January 16, 2008 Kayla Marie Scottberg was born making me a grandmother for the thrid time! I was filled with awe when Parker and Kent were born and Kayla's birth was no different. As I held this beautiful little girl in my arms I was once again amazed at God's miraculous creation. It had been a difficult delivery and many prayers were prayed. As I prayed for Brian and Melissa and this tiny little gift from God, he spoke to me through his word. I was struck by the words we all know "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful...all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (Psalm 139:14). And then in Ephesians 2:9"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do."

God has already ordained and determined the life of this tiny little girl. She has been created to walk in His divine purposes and according to His plan. His works are wonderful and beyond comprehension. Another version says in Ephesians, we are God's masterpiece- priceless works of art in God's eyes. He has re-created and fully equipped us to do good and what God requires.

Parker, Kent and Kayla all masterpieces-priceless works of art and created to do amazing things. I am stuned and overwhelmed at God's wisdom in creation. He is amazing God! He is far beyond my understanding and closer than my next breath.

I can't wait to see what he is about to do in each of their lives and the micaculous ways they will impact their generation.

I love being a grandma!
