In this time of Advent, I play one of my favorite Christmas songs and think of all the babies that have changed everything in my life;
The foster babies
(Ciara, Cordelia, Devontae, Kiara, Alyah, Kuran, Brandon)
The 7
The hundreds of children I have held from daycare and babysitting
Guatemala babies
Isabella
Miracle babies
The babies that never made it earthside
I think of the babies of the future that will pass from my hands into their mother's as they take their first breath
I think of the babies that will someday be mine, the ones I will carry in my womb and in my heart
I think of that baby, born in a stable, wrapped in cloths, whose birth was attended by the angels.
I am reminded, that my God knows exactly what makes me tick, how to get my attention, how to teach me, how to remind me I am loved.
A baby changes everything...

Courtney, I just looked at your blog for the first time. I wanted to tell you how grateful I am for the big heart that you have and your desire and love for children. So many people don't value children anymore and I feel like that makes it harder to understand or believe that God values and loves them, His children. You will be so blessed for your love! :)
