"The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, says my soul,
Therefore I have hope in Him.
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
to the person who seeks Him.
It is good that he waits silently for the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:22-26
On January 15, 2008 our world changed.
Forever.
In just one moment our dreams and hopes sprung to life.
God's promise.
Fulfilled.
And, of course, I could never forget the next day...
Emily confirmed that Yes Indeed! she was choosing us to parent the precious baby boy she was carrying.
Oh God. How overwhelmed I am.
By Your goodness. Your grace.Your lovingkindness. Your faithfulness.
Thank you for that one moment.
That changed our world.
Forever.
