Description
These poppies were painted at a time when I was so happy to be a mommy. My son was a burst of sunshine that brought such joy into my life. And apparently that joy started to bubble up inside of me during the C-section surgery, because my doctor's first words to me in the recovery room were "You have a beautiful singing voice, Mrs. Holland!"
"Huh? What do you mean?" I groggily responded.
"You sang at the top of your lungs throughout the entire surgery, "I'm gonna have a beautiful baby! I'm gonna have a beautiful boy! You repeated these words over and over and over again!"
"Really? I sang?"
"Yes! Usually all I hear from my patients is swearing! So hearing you sing like that was a real treat. And guess what? You do have a beautiful baby! You do have a beautiful boy!"
Of course back then I had no idea whether I was going to have a boy or a girl. But God knew. And I like to think that He chose to give me a joyful song back then to always remind me of how He knows everything about me... even the unspoken desires of my heart.
He knows everything about you, too... even the unspoken desires of your heart. More than anything else His desire for you is that you come to know Him like He knows you...intimately. And when you do, His joy will be like a burst of sunshine flooding your soul, and your heart will not be able to contain it.♥
