Yesterday was Hard

We found out yesterday that our friend had her little girl Sunday night. She was 6lbs 3ozs. The cool thing is that her mom gave her the same middle name we were going to give her... "Grace". Yesterday was hard though... because, had everything gone the way we wanted, we would have been driving to pick her up from the hospital last night. We would have brought home our beautiful new daughter last night, and instead of sitting here at work today thinking about her and what her future holds, I would be holding her and kissing her sweet face. But, the key point in that thought, is that it is where we would be if things had gone OUR way instead of GOD's way. And the one thing we have heard over and over is that God has a plan in all of this, and His ways are not our ways. His plan is to prosper us, and not to harm us. His plan is to give us hope and a future. So today, I am clinging to that plan, His plan!! Praise you Lord for being in control!

  1. Summer, that had to be difficult and I'm so sorry for you. Praying that God continues to direct and that in the process you become closer to Him.

  2. I'm really proud of you, Summer. It's so hard to keep trusting God when you feel like things just aren't going the way you'd like - you start to wonder if He's really hearing your heart's cry. But He is and I just know He's got something huge and amazing planned for your sweet family! Praying for all of you....
