These were taken on her REAL Birthday, so knowing my, I'll probably do another post of her actual birthday party and decorations! So Excited!
My baby girl turned one the beginning of August, and it was an emotional week. A year ago she was said to not have much of a chance to meet her big sister, or to see her room, or to come home to her big loving family. The situation was bleak and hope seemed to dissipate as her health did. Her daddy and I held strong to the Lord as we watched our baby girl struggling to stay alive. Something amazing happened though....hundreds of people from all over the place fell to their knees in prayer over our little baby girls life. A undeniable sense of peace washed over my husband and I. We realized that although we were concerned for our baby girl, worrying ourselves sick was not going to make her heal, not going to stabilize her, it was not going to hold her hand, do us or do her any good. It only was a hindrance. Thankfully our ever present Lord took our fear and replaced it with abundant peace. So much so, people were becoming alarmingly concerned for us as we seemed almost in denial of our daughters failing condition. We knew perfectly well it was serious, and that she may not come home. We also knew we could give our fears, our worries, and our cares to the Lord, and trust Him to do what is best.
Today we have a baby girl who walks, falls, crawls, and walks some more. Shes smiley as can be, has quite the personality, and is my miracle. She shouldn't be here, and yet God proves to still preform some amazing miracles on a daily basis! She is mine.
Happy Birthday Joslyn H. Hanson.
