sweet baby girl

My mom took Daniel this afternoon to do errands, so with fewer feet in the house I thought I would take the opportunity to sweep, mop, and vacuum all the floors. I laid 3 month old Baby B on a blanket so she could have some floor time to kick and practice being on her side instead of her back.

I put on a playlist and when the song "Holy" by David Crowder came on, I put my mop down and went over to Baby B to move her arms and legs to the music and sing with her. She is so relational now at 3 months and has a smile that lights up the room. As I sang and played with her she began laughing and her eyes sparkled...and my eyes completely filled with tears and all I could do was pray...

Sweet baby girl, so full of life and looking at me with such trusting eyes....you have no idea the chaos that you were born into. How I wish for your sake that you had been born into a peaceful situation, that you would have had parents who were eagerly anticipating your birth, making a special nursery for you.....that your family could have been there to surround you with love when you were born. Instead you had to be taken away from your biological mother that carried you and nursed you those first few days of life, and you were sent away with strangers.
We love you so much and I wish with all my heart that I could protect you from further pain or confusion. I wish that it was in my power to make the very, very best decisions for your life. 
But all I can do right now is love you....and our family can give you security and unconditional love while we wait to see what will happen in your life.
Sweet Baby B, I love you and want the very best for you. And right now I'm happy that you're happy....

So many prayers were poured out on Daniel's behalf. His life is a miracle. And the same God is present in Baby B's life. I can't predict the future and I can't control others' decisions. But today I can love and pray. And believe that God has her future in His hands.
