These are just a few of my favorite things. Tiny black ringlets rubbing against my cheeks as I rock my baby girl to sleep. Poopy diapers ... with just the right consistency! Lol! Possibly TMI but this means that my baby girl is getting better so bring 'em on! And last but not least the infamous Mr. Crab! One of LyLah's very favorite toys!
This last week and a half have been one heck of a ride but I am happy to say we are home at last and LyLah is lovin every minute of it! Of course momma is too! LyLah is such a good baby and healthy as well as I took her to the Dr as soon as we returned, praise God! She has been eating and sleeping well. She is starting to eat rice cereal and green beans in between her bottle feedings. She is scooting around on the floor and beginning to learn how to crawl. She has two bottom teeth. She is quite the social bug and likes to wave. LyLah will put her arms out to go to pretty much anyone and gets annoyed when I don't let her go to strangers! Ha! She can say "momma" and is beginning to respond to her name. She is such a joy and I have been truly blessed!
God's hand continues to be in this adoption daily as He is guiding me. He also provided the opportunity for my mom to stay with me this week. She has been covering a maternity leave at the Dr's office in town and just so happened to have last Thursday through today off! Coincidence? I think not! God's perfect timing once again as He knew I would need her to stay with me!
God also decided to show His greatness in the fact that the Sunday LyLah was born in my heart was the Sunday that Marti Boal and Marcia Baldridge shared about their mission trip to Ethiopia to deliver water filters. God then paved the way for their mission trip this year to coincide with my court trip and the team was able to come to the care center where LyLah was taken care of on the last day that I was there when I was struggling big time and their prayers were just what I needed at that particular time. So the first Sunday that I will be bringing LyLah to church is the Sunday in which they will be speaking of their mission trip from this year! How crazy is that?! Nope, not crazy at all. Once again, this is God and I LOVE it!
This opportunity that I have been given to care for an orphan, a child of God, is such an honor but at the same time I am scared to death! But I know that everything will be just fine as I keep my eyes fixed on Him and listen for His leading and guidance through it all. Of course there will be some ups and downs but it's nice to know I have a God who will be watching over us!
Praise God for LyLah! Praise God for providing such an awesome opportunity for me to share His love! Praise God that we can count on His wisdom and guidance! Praise God for Jesus!
Pray that my sweet baby LyLah would continue to adjust well to her new home and surroundings - Pray for God to make known opportunities He might have for you to spread His word and show others His love - Pray for His wisdom and guidance daily - Pray for the rest of the gals in my prayer group and their processes to be completed and cleared so they too can bring home their precious babes!
