....my sweet friend sent me this verse:


"May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all of your requests." Psalm 20:4-5

If you read my blog this time last year, you would understand how much I needed to hear this. We had just moved out of our apartment and in with Mimi and Pappi. It was a very trying time on your Daddy and I. The house we had wanted so very badly...the one that we "thought" was so perfect for you and us and Bentley, had accepted a higher offer.

We.were.crushed.

I was at a point where I felt.....defeated. I was exhausted. I think we all feel this way sometimes. When nothing seems to be going right, you kind of just feel like giving up. I think Daddy felt this way, too. He felt like a failure for letting our "dream home" get away and he just wasn't enjoying his job very much.

Mommy wanted so desperately to have another baby.....and that wasn't happening either.

You were turning into a big boy right in front of our very eyes and to tell you the truth, Mommy wasn't ready.

Flash forward to May 2010~



He did give us the desire of our hearts and He did make our plans succeed. Our God is an Awesome God, Grayson.....don't ever forget this! He knows what is best for us and He knows when the "right time" is for us and He is Almighty and Powerful and Great!

We have the "perfect" home for us. Daddy is enjoying his job and doing well. We have been blessed with another baby in Mommy's belly....and it's all because of Him.

We have stayed strong in our faith even when we wanted to stray. We have praised Him even when we wanted to kick and cry and scream! And because of this, we have been blessed with more than we could ever ask for.

Grayson, you are AMAZING!! You make Mommy and Daddy laugh out loud every.single.day. You are the reason we wake each day smiling and the reason we go to bed smiling.

You have the kindest heart and the sweetest soul. I can't wait each day to inhale the sweet smell of your hair and smother you in a thousand kisses. You make Mommy's heart so happy, little man. When you say things like, "I not mean to make you sad, Mommy"....how can I be sad??? Or, "I love you whole world much, Mommy".....ah, it melts me!

You are the reason that I was meant to be here, son. I was made to be your Mommy. And that makes Mommy so very happy.


Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful Mommies in my life!

And to my friend who sent me that eye-opening verse this time last year.....thank you!!! Thank you for being so strong in your faith and always having the right words to say. Enjoy your new, precious little baby boy and may God Bless You!
