A love like no other

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, " "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I write this with tears in my eyes. This verse was shared with me, when we were trying to get pregnant with Taryn. Today I was looking back at my journal, and a year ago I was so discouraged going through the IVF process. It seemed like everytime we got to take one step forward we hit a bump in the road that threw us two steps back. This time last year, I was praying that this year we would be celebrating Valentine's Day not as a couple, but as a family.

I am just overwhelmed with the love I have for this little angel in my life now. I can't praise God enough. This morning I was rocking her to sleep and as those pretty blue eyes looked back up at me, it reminded me of how much our heavenly father loves us. He sent His only Son to die for us. And we didn't even deserve to be saved. I can't even fathom that kind of love.

What a difference a year can make. Now that she's here I can't imagine life without her. I never thought I could love someone more than Jacob, and now she's the love of both of our lives. I just continue to pray for those who are going thru, or who have went thru what we did. Wanting a child is unlike any other want. My heart goes out to Ryan and Chelsa, life just doesn't seem fair, but we know God is in control and he always has our best interest in mind. Also with that I am praising God for Gordon, Mary Lynn and their new addition to their family. How Great is our God!!
