Sweet and Sour Blessings: A Princess Worth Waiting For...

I get very emotional over kids and their birthdays. After all.....it is the day God ordained them to bless this world with their entrance. They are his tenderness and mercy in tiny human form. I especially get super emotional about their histories and how they get here. Especially because Amy (Reynolds' mom) and I share some of the same "pre child" issues. This child was prayed for and yearned for a longtime. Her daddy said it best today in the blessing when he prayed that God would have his hand on Reynolds and bless her life. As he said, "This princess was worth waiting for..."

Thank you Jason for bringing me to tears. I appreciate it. I'm especially thankful I chose to wear my waterproof mascara today. You helped test it out and I can now inform the lady at the Clinique counter that it works.

But seriously.....isn't that so true? We are all worth waiting for to God. Now matter how we come into our earthly families or how we come to be adopted into God's family, we are all worth waiting for. Princess', Princes', Kings, and Queens alike. Every last one of us is a member of a Royal Family. How it filled my heart today with Joy to celebrate this little one. How it felt to hug her and her mom and know that this was so worth the wait. Happy Birthday sweet girl! Today you were truly a princess!!!!! Enjoy the pictures!
