Abby's day was beautiful!

As Barry so rightly said, today might have been Abby's birthday. We had a nice sunny day and I cant help but think that our angel sent us a sunny day. God has been so good to us in the last few months. Things have been hard but I have this amazing deep hope that there is so much more for us around the corner.

Abby was only known to us, not the rest of the world and for only a short time.. but the impact that it has left on us is everlasting. I thank God for the opportunity to love her even though I never met her.


One of the first shots of me as I started to realize that my clothes did not fit anymore.

" Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart"

- Jeremiah 1:5-

There is a story in the bible that I have been reading about, if your not familiar with Abraham I encourage you to read it as its totally a powerful story of faith and trust. Abraham was promised by God to have a great nation come from his line, He had many many reasons to believe that it would never happen.... but yet he never gave up:

"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him. "so shall your offspring be" without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead- since he was about 100 years old- and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised" Romans 4:18-21

I find this an amazing statement of faith. If Abraham can give thanks to God and trust in him despite what appeared to be the most difficult circumstances .. then so will I. I thank God for bringing me to this place.
