Green beans and carrots

My little Rilyn is five months old and such a treasure.  She's eating green beans, carrots and cereal.  Not sure what we'll add to the menu next.  She is rolling over, sitting up without much help and talks up a storm.

As challenging as two girls can be, I cannot imagine my life without them.  Karsyn is an amazing big sister.  She helps with what she can - fetching things, putting things away, holding baby's hand while she cries, making baby laugh.  I am so incredibly blessed.

Outside circumstances try to steal our joy and happiness, but when I look at these girls - no matter what is happening around us, I know God is bigger than any situation Ryan and I face.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

I am clinging to that verse.  I repeat it in my mind, heart, and aloud.  I am claiming God's promise for my family.  I don't know how things will work out - I just know they will.

Faith, like patience cannot develop unless it is tested.  We are relying on you Lord.  See us through.

I hope all of you are well and have the happiest holidays.
