Happy Birthday Valentine!

We had a plan. We had our timeline figured out. We thought we knew what was best. He had a different plan. A plan that would require waiting. A plan that involved many tears, countless prayers and even a little doubt. Oh, how His plan is better...perfect. We are so thankful for the waiting because in that waiting we grew and when we saw your face that Valentine's Day four years ago it was all worth it. You are a complete joy Miss Amelia! I can't, for a single moment, imagine our lives without you. I am so deeply grateful for you, our sweet Valentine, and so very honored to be your mama. Happy 4th Birthday Millie Mae!

The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
