Give me Your eyes

...so that I can see who I need to make a difference for today. When I first came back it was hard because of how much I intensely missed Kirby. That is still a factor, but now it is just hard when I don't see respect. Just know that I need prayer for clear eyes. God has a reason and a season for everything. I need to live in this season at this moment.Happy Valentine's Day!Trying to talk. Reading her story about Pooh!

Waiting ever so patiently for mommy to get her dinner ready!

There are so many things that she is doing right now that crack me up:
1. Rolls over onto her belly, pushes up, and then face plants. She doesn't cry about this until about the 4th time.
2. No teeth yet, but she acts like she is getting them in. She knaws on everyone's shoulder and they all tell me to feed my child. Ha, like she has missed a meal!
3. Has discovered her tongue and can not keep it in her mouth. She sticks it waaaayy out and then wiggles it around or pushes it up like she is trying to lick her nose. CR and I watched and laughed for about 5 minutes last night while she was in the tub doing this.
4. When we do the sign for "all done", if she doesn't think she wants to be done, she pouts out her lip and wimpers a bit, then really lets it out in one big cry. Then she is over it and ready to move.
5. If I am holding her and talking to someone, she will look at me, then the other person, then back at me really quickly. As if to say, "Mommy is here and so are you at the same time. Weird."
6. Puts the red cup I gave her to play with in the bath on her foot, picks her foot up out of the water and looks amazed, then slams her leg back in.

Yesterday when I was going through (ie looking for something) my desk drawer at school I came across the folder from the San Antonio Fertility Specialist. Tears welled up in my eyes and my students asked if I was ok. I told them, "Yes, just so blessed!" I opened up the folder to see if I had stashed what I was looking for in there by chance (had not) and came across the billing estimate for all of the procedures we were about to undergo just a year ago. At the time, the numbers were so much smaller. We wanted a precious child so badly that we knew the Lord would provide the means and we would take it a step at a time. We did not prepay for anything to get ahead because we wanted to wait and hear the Lord through each step. And did we ever hear Him. Thank you Lord, again and again and again, for providing in Your perfect timing and in Your perfect way.
