Happy Birthday to Hannah

Hannah turned one on Saturday, first day of this snowy month. I can’t believe that the first year has already gone by; and yet I can. I enjoyed just about every moment I could with her in each stage she went through. It is such a blessing to be home with her each day. She’s trying to walk now, but doesn’t quite get it yet:) She will take a few steps and then down she plops, saying “OH!”

I remember this time last year, experiencing my first home birth. It was truly amazing. She has been quite a challenge, with her sensitive digestive system, but it has all been worthwhile. Learning to put yourself aside for your children is a vital lesson a mother must learn. We are called to serve and not to seek our own life, as Christ has instructed us. And I am thankful that He is still working on me, using the wonderful gifts that He has entrusted into my care. Gifts He expects to see up there in heaven one day.

I am so blessed to have such a sweet little girl. She has such a delightful spirit, so happy and full of joy. She is getting to that point now where her little personality is really starting to shine. I pray that God will be able to use her in a wonderful way to bless His people and work for His glory.
