Reese is Here!!

I really just can't believe we have her here in our home. We are so blessed, beyond words. Our adoption process went very well, it was tough and extremely emotional but we for sure felt all the prayers. So many people prayed with us through these past years and especially these past couple of weeks and we are so so so grateful for that. God showed himself in so many ways during this journey. And He answered specifically in the smallest and biggest ways. When I held Reese in the hospital, it just felt right. And we feel in love. She is God's gift and I love that her middle name, Elizabeth, means God's promise. Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” And that's no doubt. Even through all the years of sorrow and heartbreak, God was just waiting for us to meet up together. And this is our time. His time! To bring our family together.

We are having so much fun with little Reese, she is absolutely adorable and the joy of our lives!

“The longer the blessing is in coming, the sweeter it will be when it arrives. That which is gained speedily by a single prayer is sometimes only a half-weighted blessing, but that which is gained after many a tug and many an awful struggle is full-weighted and precious blessing. The blessing which costs us the most in prayer will be worth the most.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon
