we’ve waited for you for our whole lives

I don’t think there will ever be words to describe how excited we are for the arrival of this little girl. 

And I don’t think there will ever be any words to help her or anyone else know how long we’ve truly been waiting for this moment. 

It’s true, it took some time to get to where we are -waiting for this girl to show up. 

We prayed, pondered, fasted, did most things you could think of. 

When I look back on the times we struggled, watching our family and friends have babies, hearing of abortions, and seeing all these teenagers get pregnant, I just think that it wasn’t our time yet. 

Everything happens for a reason and He has a plan for us all. 

I’m so grateful for this wonderful blessing that will soon come to our home. 

I’m grateful for all the hard times that we’ve had to overcome, and for all the strength we’ve gained through it. 

For some odd reason I wouldn’t change it for the world because if there’s anything I’ve learned over these past several years it’s just that. 

There’s a purpose for everything that happens in our lives, to learn and grow.
