When Ali was so sick and in the hospital that first year, I would stand by her crib and imagine what she would look like at age 3. I would picture her in little jeans, a stylish little shirt and her hair swooped up in the sweetest pig tails. She made it to age 3 AND she looks just like I imagined her. It's pretty amazing to see the Lord work so clearly and see His miracles day after day. Really, they are all around us; God's miracles. But I don't think I took the time to seek them out or notice them before meeting Ali. I'd see the BIG ones but I missed out on so many of the little ones. Three years later, I am thanking the Lord for the 6 miracles in mine and Scott's life. Who knew one little person could help in re-shaping the way I view the world, my children and myself. I am a better Mama and wife because of the Lord placing Ali in our lives.
I can't wait to see how all of our children grow over this next year. I just wish my older ones would give me "permission" to write about them as often as I write about Ali. They're getting older and want their "privacy". Too bad. There is so much GOOD STUFF to write about them! =)
What started out to be a place to dump all of my worries related to our daughter Alicen is now a place about our family. Our life is crazy but it's what we know. Thankfully, we know Jesus Christ is in it all!
