180 Degrees

 




Happy 9th Birthday, Brynlee!

I can't believe it's been 9 years. At the same time, it still hurts too much to imagine what life would have been like with two girls. It hurts, but I know God's plans are best. 

As with many of my annual posts, I'm still amazed with the people God surrounds me with - new ones who tweak my thinking, new ones who make me laugh, new ones who are so helpful, new ones who give me grace, and new ones who just love me. 

My constant is Jamie. This March 9th will mark 26 years since we had our first date. He constantly helps me through my transitions, cherishes our time together, and entertains me like no other. Last December, Jamie was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and I've been so impressed with his drive to beat it. His radiation is done, so we are praying he's completely healed. 

As for Lilianna, she is our light. We spoil her with love, and it's a blessing to do so. 

This year God has reminded me how he can come into any situation and flip it 180 degrees according to His will. He might not answer all my prayers, but when he does - he does big time, in big ways, with huge blessings. 

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." ~ Psalm 30:5

I’m so thankful for all the blessings God has given our family this year, and I pray God continues to show me how to love His people, because His people have sure loved me.  

Happy Birthday, My Sweet Brynlee
