Happy Birthday Shaelee!
Today this precious child turns 4. Someday soon I will be able to share how God has used her in our lives. It is a mighty story, with a big red thread tied around it. Shaelee and I first met when her big brown eyes were staring up at me from a posting about Pearl River. That began my relationship with them and with her. This little girl has pushed Jeff and I to get out of our comfort zone, and trust God's plan for our family.
Yesterday, her parents asked me to be her Godmother! Today, they are on a plane to bring her home. Monday she will be united with her forever family. She has waited four years for this day... And, I am privileged to share in the journey.... truly humbled by it...
Happy Birthday Shaelee. It is an honor and a blessing to know that I will always have this very special relationship with you! I am humbled once again by the way God orchestrates the details of our lives. I know He has an amazing plan for you!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
