I lay here in the early hours, waiting for the little pitter patter of feet. I am scared. He knows, but I tell Him anyway.
I close my eyes.
I see Him. His hands. He stretches them out to me and hands me my baby.
"Here, she is, child. It is now your turn to take care of her. She is special. You may not understand the decisions I have made, but I trust you. Her strength will be her spirit. Guide it, nurture it...for it will bless many."
I nod my head. I look in her eyes, and I know He has created beauty beyond my comprehension. Heavenly beauty that I get to share with the world. I am proud, and I am happy.
This day, she is mine. But, more importantly, she is still His. Together, we will show the world that His plan is always perfect. Always good.
Always beautiful.

Our Family's Testimony
All three of my children are gifts from God, but in 2010, He gave our family a precious blessing named Brooklyn who has Spina Bifida. Through her life, God is shaping our family into something more beautiful. He has given us a testimony to share, and we want to share it.

Can't wait to hear news of little Brooklyn's arrival!
I came across your blog from "adventures in Baby Wearing" and just wanted to let know what a blessing this post is, and that I'm praying for you, your sweet baby, and your family! The Lord be with you and bless you today!
I am overwhelmed by your gift to bless with words. To so beautifully describe what God has placed on your heart. We already love your precious baby and can't wait to see the amazing ways God will reveal Himself through her life.
An amazing post as a prelude to what is sure to be an amazing day. Blessings to each of you.
Beautiful indeed! Thinking of you and sending our love.
Lisa, LB has shared bits and pieces of your pregnancy and I hopped onto your blog for the first time tonight. I am in tears at the profoundness of your post. True faith in the One who alone knows any of our futures and calls us to be faithful to Him in all situations and circumstances. Thank you for your realness in sharing your story. Hugs
beautiful she is :)

And, of course, you're right. His plan IS: "Always Good."
