Happy Birthday Emma Grace! So, I am an Abla! We've been anxiously awaiting this day and it finally came today and she is perfect! It has been so wonderful to watch some of my dearest friends become parents -- I have seen more directly the beautiful design of the Lord Jesus and what it means for God to be the Father. I fell in love today, but to my own surprise, it wasn't just with Emma -- it was more about Jesus. I fell in love with Him all over again today through the birth of His daughter Emma. I wish I could explain it, but all I can say tonight is Jesus, You are SO beautiful to me, in a way I've never seen You before- and it hurts inside, it is so pure and so holy. Welcome to the world Emma, it is not your home -- but I am so thankful that the Lord brought you here for His purposes.
