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.
