Happy Valentine's Day!!
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Jeremiah 1:5
Today holds the most special place in our hearts. Yes, it is Valentine's day...the holiday that everyone celebrates love and all things amore. But for anyone that can do the math (which the teachers at Daniel's school were quick to call us on), today is the day we made the most precious gift we've ever received from God. We always joked with anyone that figured it out that Daniel must have forgotten the chocolates. ;) Truth is, Valentine's day has always just been another day to celebrate our love, and last year was no different. We never get fancy gifts for each other, but maybe just give an extra kiss, or dress a little nicer to impress the other.
This year, I am a little emotional and sentimental because I have been given this precious gift. He is my Valentine. He always will be. I wonder what I did to get so lucky? It actually brings tears to my eyes anytime I think "what in the world did I ever do to deserve this much love?" I try everyday to live the life God intended for me, but I never imagined He would repay me with such a wonderful gift. Cael is the best thing that has ever happened to me. There is absolutely no way to describe the gift of a child until it happens to you, and you have that "ah-ha" moment that this journey is for real and it is AMAZING. We have an amazing family, extended family, and friends that we call family. That is LIFE!
