Hold on to Every Moment

I was going to wait to post again. I guess I'll just do it as I have time. Over the last couple days, I have just been feeling so blessed. I get this overwhelming feeling in precious moments that I just can't shake. (Most of them have made me tear up.)

 My favorites:

-In the car, the radio guy said something about a blood drive. Kylie said, "Mom, why did that man say blood drive." I explained that some people give blood for when people are sick. She said "Our baby is sick. You went to the Dr." I said, "Yes, Layla is still sick." Kylie responded with, "Aw, man. Again?" and as she rested her head on the back of her car seat, she sighed, "Oh, Layla".

-I will preface this by saying that due to Layla's size & short limbs, I have not been feeling her move. Last night, Bryan put his hand on my belly to say a prayer for Layla. The second he did, she started kicking & wiggling away. Throughout the prayer, she just kept moving. Best feeling in the world. Bryan could even feel it. He took his hand away, and she stopped. Already daddy's little girl.

-This morning, while we were all rushing and getting ready to head our separate ways, "Blessings" (the song I quoted in my last post) started to play. Kylie stopped in her tracks & started dancing. So free, without a care in world. Dancing around the living room with her arms spread wide. Sporadically yelling for me & Bryan to watch her do a leap. We both just stood, listening to the song, watching our perfect little girl dance around.

The Lord is in the rain.

Thank you for being an example of how to walk in Faith.Jeremiah 29:11says God has a plan....we are all praying for you. Just know though we are not right there, you are in our thoughts.

Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and Layla today and praying for Layla's miracle. I'm anxiously waiting to hear if her miracle is physically visable to us yet. Miracles appear to us in God's time not ours; it will come.
