Half Birthday Thoughts

Today I am flooded with thankfulness.

After 11 years of marriage, we found out that what we were once told was not happening, was now knocking on our door.

We learned that sometimes when you think God is saying "No", He is actually saying "Not Yet".

I know that no one can have God figured out. His ways are not our ways, and we will never understand. But I also believe His timing is perfect.

I know that God knew I was going to need a blessing so big that my thankfulness would outweigh my grief.

I know that God has given me a son who, when the storms and grief are at their darkest hour, one tiny smile makes the clouds go away and the thunder stop.

I know I am truly blessed.
