Happy Whole Heart Day, Abigail
Two years ago today I was praying my guts out and wondering if my child was going to live to see tomorrow. Isn't that strange knowing what we know today? There are so many things i didn't know 2 years ago. Like how much joy this girl would bring me. Like how loud she could sing. Like how tenacious she can be at making sure her brother doesn't get to fall asleep. Like how good God is even in the terrible-no-good-horrible times. Really good. And also...
...how crazy her hair is.
...how wonderful her messes can be.
...how much she loves to play matching games.
And, frankly, how much she likes to jump. Thank God she can jump, right? Right.
And thank God she doesn't have heartblock and need a pace maker. And thank God she got out of the NICU in 24 hours. And thank God she has no restrictions on her health. And thank God she eats like a picky two year old. Even in this, she's "normal." And I am so thankful. But if any of those things that I prayed against would've happened, I know that God would be sustaining us. But for today I'll choose to think on what is "good, what is praiseworthy."
Miraculous.
I still can't get over it.
I love you, my Abigail.
428. a whole heart

Praising God for you Miss Abigail.
How we all prayed and prayed that God would have mercy on you and your parents. He gave them faith to face the unknown and courage that He was in control. That you were in His care. What a loving and merciful God we serve.
Happy New Heart Day Precious Abigail. Our hearts and prayers will always be with YOU...
Thank You Lord for giving us this precious child.
