He makes all things beautiful
In His time
Lord please show me everyday
as you're teaching me your way
that you do just what you say
In your time...
Trust and obey, trust and obey
for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey
these and many more lyrics play through my head as we sit here tonight.
Tim and I think about every emotion we have felt through this whole journey,
...being scared, worried, eager, frustrated, filled with excitement, anticipation, fear, love, hope, and so much more...
Our social worker Heidi rang our doorbell today and surprised us with some big blue balloons with the words It's a Boy written on them. And we felt an emotion, the biggest emotion we have felt so far...gratefullness.
We are so grateful for all the prayers and support, encouragement and love we have felt through this whole journey you will never know how much all of you mean to us.
We are so grateful that God has chosen our family to be this little boy's forever family.
We are grateful that God has never left our side and taught us patience and trust as we have walked this journey.
We are so grateful that God shows us his faithfulness and reminds us daily to trust Him in His time.
...with this gratefulness we say a big thank you that we can make the big announcement that in His time God has blessed us with a son.
We ask for your prayers for tomorrow night when we leave and drive to North Carolina to finally bring home blue.
...more details to come, please keep us and our girls in your prayers and our little man...thank you God bless!
Here are a few of the surprise pictures right after we got the news...
