10 YEARS AGO!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



10 years ago today, I woke up and prayed that I would get pregnant.
10 years ago today, I woke up and prayed that God would please answer the desires of my heart.
10 years ago today, I woke up and prayed that God would somehow give me a baby.
10 years ago today, I didn't really expect the answer to change or anything to happen.
10 years ago today, I didn't wake up expecting the best from God, but God looked past my weakness and began to let His plan unfold.
10 years ago today, I watched as God himself, orchestrated a miracle in our lives!
10 years ago today, I received a phone call at work, telling us about a baby to be born in 2 hours!
10 years ago today, Mike and I became parents to our precious Daniel!
10 years ago today, I couldn't imagine our baby being 10 years old!

Today, Daniel turned 10. It has been an amazing 10 years for Mike and I! We have loved every single minute of parenting. 10 years later, we give thanks everyday to God for the two blessings that He has given us. It is amazing to watch Daniel change and grow. One of the biggest blessings is watching as he learns about God and the life God wants him to live.

Last night, we sat with Daniel and told him the story about him joining our family. He thought we were funny as we explained how crazy we were until we saw him two days later! It was a great time for him to hear his story again and for us to explain, yet again, how much he is loved!

So, tonight, 10 years later, I am hopeful for another blessing that God can bring into our family.
