jenna, may God grant you the laughter of sarah :
and God said, "surely i will return to you in the spring and sarah shall have a son. and sarah was listening at the tent door. so sarah laughed to herself, saying "after i have grown old and my husband is old, shall i have pleasure?" (go for it, sarah!)
jenna, may God grant you the freedom songs of miriam :
then miriam the prophetess took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and dancing.
jenna, may God grant you the wisdom of deborah:
now deborah, a prophetess, was judging israel at that time. she used to sit under deborah's palm and the israelites would come to her to have their disputes decided.
jenna, may God grant you the faith of mary, the mother of Jesus.
mary said, "i am the handmaid of the lord. let what you have said be done to me."
jenna, may God grant you the love of mary magdalene.
she waited behind them at his feet, weeping, and her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them away with her hair, then she covered his feet with kisses and annointed them with ointment.
at one month old, my parents invited all their friends and family to read this blessing.
today, i'm thankful i found it. and thankful that no matter how far i stray from God, i can always come back to my light and my salvation.
laughter. freedom songs. wisdom. faith. love.
