Hope

Even though our lives seem to be spinning into a world of chaos God is proving that He is, indeed, in control.

On Monday, as we waited for word from the operating room regarding my Maw's surgery, we received another kind of word.

Yes, our sweet Baby Girl is now officially a Beaver!

After sitting in the courtroom just over 14 months ago, listening to all the things her little body endured before she was born, we have no doubts that God mercifully spared her life so that she could one day be our precious daughter.

So, it's with great joy that I present to you:

Olivia Hope

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."
~ Lamentations 3:22-24

Thank you God. Thank you.

    yippee Jesus! I'm not being sarcastic, but I really think she LOOKS like a Beaver....I mean, I know she's brown but other than that...she looks like her siblings!
    :) Thank you God for Your designs!
