The last 11 months


Wow. We can't believe our baby girl is almost a year old. I know it would be pointless to catch you up on what we have been doing since Christmas so I decided to put together a collage of the past 11 months. What a joy it is to be a mother. For those of us who have prayed and prayed to bear children it is an abundant blessing .What a high calling and overwhelming privilege to nurture and nourish a tiny human soul. It doesn't mean that it doesn't come with it's set of  hardships (sleepless nights, sickness, frustration, sacrifice...) but it makes us better...all suffering refines us and sanctifies us. I am definitely not a perfect mother but the past 11 months have made me more like Jesus and for that I am grateful to the Lord. For those of you still praying for children, continue praying. God does not promise that we will all bear children but he does promise to hear us when we pray (psalm 34:17 John 5:14-15) .So do not grow weary in prayer and be lifted by the fact that he is always faithful. I have learned through my journey that God is so good! Even when our prayers are never answered, even when we stare in the face of despair. He is still good and he will meet us in the deepest valleys and comfort us will supernatural comfort in our times of need.
 We love you Elizabeth Mae and give all the glory to the Lord for your life!
