Shopping!






Today was an incredible, beautiful, glorious day! I went shopping for the first time for OUR baby!!!!! I...I...got to shop for OUR baby! As I was in the isle of beautiful baby blankets I looked around at the other women and felt a part of a clique I had always wanted to join but never could. I am a woman who is going to have a baby!!!!!! Yes, I don't have a bulging belly, but I have a bulging heart that's bursting with excitement for the day we get the call that tells us our baby is on her way!
So, my beautiful baby girl, as God is knitting you together in the womb I went shopping for you today. I thought of how pretty you will look in all the pink and purple blankets I got for you. I thought about what it will be like to wrap you in a blanket and hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you and how I have waited so long for you! Baby girl, I don't know you yet but God does and He is forming you to be fearfully and wonderfully made! HE thought of you today...and so did I! And as He is forming your inward parts to make you whole and beautiful He has been working to repair me. He has been piecing together my broken and wounded heart little by little, day by day! Through the incredible journey of adopting you I am being made whole again, by the healing power of God's mercy and love! Today, my precious Mercy, a whole lot of my heart was healed in the baby isle of Target because God is making you for us and I KNOW you are coming!

What a day of rejoicing that will be!!! God is certainly taking you on a wonderful journey and I feel blessed to be a part of it. I can't wait to see what is next. Watch out...God is working. To Him Be The Glory Great Things He Has Done!!! Love you.
