ΙΧΘΥΣ "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior"
"I am the Alpha and the Omega" says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty" Revelation 1:8
To remind me of WHO He is, WHAT He has done, and my commitment to Him!
I have known for a long time that I wanted it symbolize my faith. I am much closer to the Lord and stronger in my faith right now more than I have been in a long time. I was talking about getting GOD'S GRACE tattooed on me, when I think of God's Grace and how powerful that is, and how forgiving he is it makes me want to be more forgiving of others. I didn't want a cross because I already have one of those. I've talked about it off and on about getting a ICHTHUS. I'm not really into the whole thing of wearing a cross, or a christian shirt saying "hey, look at me I'm a Christian!" Being a Christian should be displayed by your behavior first and foremost. I really wanted a personal reminder. I went ahead and went with the Jesus Fish. I didn't want it to be big and bold and look exactly the way it should. This is for me not for anyone else! I wanted it small, subtle, feminine (thus the pink color). Yes, I know that it does look like a ribbon and it doesn't bother me at all because I know what it means for me and that's what matters.
Since becoming a mom my life revolves around my little man. He is my world and I want to make sure that he is always healthy and happy. I don't honestly know if and for how long I will be able to make sure that happens. With everything going on in today's world I have many questions and concerns. The government passed a health reform bill and that has so much stuff in it that is going to take away so many of our rights and as a young parent it scares me to imagine what my child's adult life will end up being like. I have always wondered about the coming of Jesus, will it happen in my lifetime, will we all be ok, how long are we going to suffer and so on and on. With all of this happening I'm not afraid of leaving this world behind because the place that I will be going to will be AMAZING. I just want all of my friends and family to be with me, I know a bit selfish of me. Along with that Jake was trying to get a job in Chicago, IL and I just kept praying about it and put all faith in the Lord and I was at peace about the entire process. Another thing is that we have been trying for another baby for about a year and for the last 6 months I have been having more issues, irregular periods, pain and so on. If it weren't for my faith I would be worried sick about it. I know that HE has a plan for us!
