{Being Present}.... Rainy Days

A heavy afternoon rain that cleanses the soul.
A rainbow spreads out across the sky.
It serves as a reminder of a promise made long ago.

Gray clouds billow as far as you can see.
They try to darken your mood.
But as your eyes follow them you finally discover a break.

The light floods through.
A message from above.
A reminder of hope.

You hear the sound of rain drops dancing on the windows.
They seem so happy to have made their journey.
They create their own one-of-a-kind lullaby.

Lightening begins to dance.
It creates its own musical before your eyes.
You can't help but to wait for the next burst of light.

And as if these things weren't all enough....
There are puddles.
Lots and lots of puddles.

So thankful to "just be" today.
With the dark skies and the rain.

She Makes My Heart Skip a Beat....

This girl...
Wow.
Sometimes there are just no words.


Photobucket


I can't come close to describing my love for her.
My daughter.

I really never thought I would have a girl.
I wasn't even sure if I wanted one.

I was afraid.
Afraid I wouldn't be the right kind of mom for her.
I still do fear that....sometimes.

I was a boys mom.
I was in a groove.
Then God rocked my world.
And gave me this precious baby girl.

Our life hasn't been the same since.
And what I think gets me most...
Is how close we came to not having her.

I have shared openly about our many miscarriages.
And how we lost our little boy 11 months and 10 days before my girl was born.

We came so close to giving up.
To throwing in the towel.
We almost let the fear rule our hearts.
And not try again.


Photobucket


We prayed.
God answered.

She is our thing of beauty in this sometimes dark world.
She keeps us going.
And she definitely keeps us on our toes.

Thank.You.God.

Photo of the Day: {daddy's hand}

When I see pictures like this my heart can't help but to skip a beat.
For I know the time we have with our daughter as a 'little' is ever so brief.

It convicts my heart even more to cherish each day.
And to never, not even one second of it, wish my days away.
