Part 2: God is faithful... period.


you know those songs you've heard tons of times that you can hum the tune and maybe sing a line or two, but you've never really listened to the words?

well, this song was one of those for me until very recently. familiar? very. point of the song? dunno.
then... i found myself really hearing it during worship while i was visiting a friends' church. i was minding my own business, singing along, when... BAM! one verse in and it hit me... 
smack-dab between the eyes. 
this was it... this is it. this is our anthem for this journey with cale. if how i have felt... the emotion, the supernatural peace, the gratitude towards my Heavenly Father for preserving my precious son... if i had the right words and could put music to them, this is what it would sound like...

happy 9th birthday, gracie!


this is hard for this mama to comprehend... 
my sweet girl is 9 today!

nine. n-i-n-e. like one-two-skipafew-NINE!!!!! 
  

what a blessing it is to begin watching her God-given gifts begin to really take shape.  i see love, leadership,   kindness, and compassion really beginning to flow from her. 


i tell her all the time that i'm glad God let me be her mama... and i am.  i wouldn't trade this for anything in the whole world. 

happy birthday, baby.

God is faithful... period.


This is where we were 4 months ago...


Here's where we were today...


God is faithful, and He is always good.

The end.

My heart has been so full today watching my sweet boy get back to what he loves. I tell people all the time, "if you didn't know what happened, you wouldn't know." It's so true.
But four (very short) months ago, even though we knew Cale would be ok , we didn't know what our journey would look like. What has been reaffirmed to us is that God has always been and always will be faithful to His word and to His promises to us and our family. Today was another huge leap forward in this precious journey.
"The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies."
Psalms 41:2
