Why tomorrow is so special...

Many of you know already, but tomorrow is our court date.  Tomorrow is not special because of the court date itself... it is special because tomorrow marks the final "process" of this beautiful journey we have been on.  It marks the FINAL day of our adoption.  And she become OFFICIALLY ours. [although she technically has been ours all along]  You get it though... right?

It means that from the day we walked into that hospital to get our baby girl..

.... that when we drove off in the car with her...

.... that when we took her picture for her announcement....

... AND all of the memories we have made since those first days



... that we're reminded of how incredibly BLESSED we are!  Tomorrow is more than just a court date or formality... it marks the last phase of our adoption journey... and it marks a new chapter of our lives!

God has been so good!  He continues to show me so much and open my eyes to even more!  I praise Him, because He is WORTHY of my praise!  I lift my hands in worship, because He is good and He is faithful.  I thank you Lord for the MANY blessings you have given!  I thank you for this beautiful gift... YOU have given us.  That is why tomorrow is so special to us.  

"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb.  Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you a my profit to the nations."

Jeremiah 1:5

Until then... Brantley
