WORTH THE WAIT…
Finally, SHE made it. What an amazing experience this last week has been. No matter how much you try prepare yourself for what will happen before, during and shortly after the birth of your child, you just can’t. The overwhelming sense of God’s omnipotence, grace and love flood your heart the instant you hold your child. Words will always fall short when trying to describe the changes a husband and wife go through when they experience bringing a child into the world. In an effort to record our state of mind JJ and I each picked ten words that reflect our thoughts…
JJ: breathtaking, amazing, blessed, emotional, excitement, joy, peace, gratefulness, honor, beauty.
Kara: Amazing, cherish, trusting, unbelievable, loved, searching, overjoyed, blessed, family, proud.
As the events have unfolded before us, we realize that every ounce of Olivia Grace was worth the wait. Our tears could stain a million shirts as we think of the blessing it is to be the parents of this sweet little girl, to call her our child. She brings with her a thunderstorm of emotions, blowing winds of excitement, joy and apprehension, dropping raindrops that fall to the deepest caverns of our hearts, and displaying clouds which reflect heavens glory and blessings.
