What a heavy week for us all... all of the violence has me honestly downright confused, angered, and so very saddened... (More on that another day)
Here is a little feel good for you...:)
James1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows...
(That is our GOD!!! He does not change... not ever!)
Become this sweet little bundle of love on the left being cradled in his sister's loving arms???
6 years ago on the 14th of July these 2 beautiful thawed donated embryos above, as well as one more, were transferred into my womb... I will never forget literally all of the feelings I felt on that day! I felt so excited, thankful, and a bit anxious for sure...
But I knew in my heart it was soooooo much more than that... I was getting to experience a miracle first hand in the flesh... All by the grace and to the glory of GOD!
Out of those 3 embryos, God allowed Levi Ryan to take hold and grow inside of me... Totally someone else's DNA... growing and thriving off of my blood supply... Being fearfully and wonderfully knit together by our loving God!
Seriously, it AMAZES me to this day... He was frozen for 5 years and God choose to breathe life back into that tiny little embryo and jump start his life right back up!
And we are forever grateful to God for allowing us to parent this amazing little guy!
We are forever grateful to his donor mom for entrusting us with the most precious gift of all... this precious child!!!
And we are forever grateful for the sweet, tender hearted, always enthusiastic, affectionate Levi... We ALWAYS laugh that he seriously has enough excitement in him over things to make up for a whole crowd of people! We love it!

So rejoice with us today for the miracle that took place 6 years ago in Levi's little life and in ours...
And if you are in need of your own miracle or to see the Lord's faithfulness in your life...
DO NOT DOUBT FOR A SECOND... that He can't work for you... or doesn't TRULY CARE ABOUT YOU! He does!
I know it can be hard to make sense of so much that is going on...
Sometimes things aren't as we might want or even expect...
Sometimes things are exactly as might hope for them to be...
But through it all we can trust that He is still who He says He is...
He does not change... not ever... He is the same yesterday, today, and forever...
He is the same...
Miracle worker, redeemer, restorer, helper, healer, Comforter...
Our powerful all providing and faithful God!
Psalm 139:13-14
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

I know that full well.
