Happy Birthday sweet baby boy! It seems like we just got finished celebrating your 1st birthday. You were brand new to us this time last year. We were all just getting to know each other.

Your smile and laughter have begin to show up in a huge way. Jayla will never let us forget that she was the first one to make you laugh. It took quite awhile for your thick skin to soften because you were scared for so long. You have been through way too much in your short little life. Oh how it hurts to even think about how difficult the healing process has been for you these past 13 months.

Through it all, God has been good. He has helped us overcome so much. And, we are trusting Him to help us get through so much more. We know that God is the same God in the valley as He is on the mountaintop. Right now, you are in a valley that you aren’t even aware of yet. But, we are. We are all very aware.

We know that God will see us through. He has big plans for you. We just know it! We have trusted and stood on His promises since the beginning, and we will not stop now. When we don’t understand, He does. He sees everything we don’t. And, He can make a way even when we can’t see one.

I hope you loved your Curious George party. We all had a wonderful time celebrating you at your party – celebrating everything that you have overcome.

Stay strong in the days to come sweet boy! God will not leave any of us during the days ahead. He will fight this huge battle.

We are here for you. We always will be no matter what the days ahead may bring forth. We are praying for God’s perfect will. He will work all things out for His good and His glory. Don’t you worry about a thing baby boy. We love you big – now and forever.

Isaiah 43:19 – Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
