mommy

June marks 2 years since that early morning Grace was placed in my arms as my daughter.

June marks 4 months since I got a phone call asking if I wanted to take care of a 2 month old little boy while his mom had surgery. Little did I know on that 15 minute walk to pick him up that I would be bringing my son Daniel Paul home.

My babies are as much mine as if I gave birth them myself. But I did not. That much is clear. They both have a mommy who gave birth to them and a mommy that the Lord entrusted to raise them.  I know the Lord used their birth mothers to bring children to this earth because He has HUGE plans for their lives. I know this much because the Lord does not makes mistakes. The Lord brought them to this earth in a way where they were not “wanted” to show them just how much He loves them. He formed each and every second of their lives into powerful testimonies. Testimonies that can only be used for HIS GLORY. He made me the humbled mom of two babies so that I cannot have any pride but I can only say “there is no way I do this it has to be 100% the Lord!”

Thank you Lord for choosing me to be Grace and Daniel Paul's mommy!


Here are a few attempts at getting a family picture
(FYI: not the easiest thing to get 2 little ones looking at the camera at the same time)
