Nearly a YEAR

On the eve of Koal’s first birthday, I looked back at what I had written a year ago as we waited in anticipation of Koal’s arrival.

‘Thank you all for your continued prayers through this.  Tomorrow is a bittersweet day…so excited to meet our new son…so overwhelmed with emotion and with how our lives will change – in both wonderful and difficult ways. We will rest in God’s presence and cling to Him as we journey through the next few days, weeks and months.’

And what a year it has been!! We are SO THANKFUL for our little man and for all the blessings and joy he brings us. We did not know if we’d see this day to celebrate with him, so describing it as ‘special’ hardly seems appropriate.  We can’t begin to thank our family and friends enough for all they’ve done for us in the past 12 months. We’ve been loved, supported, cared for, encouraged, prayed for and blessed in SO many ways, by SO many people, and we are SO very grateful.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

 Romans 15:13

…and He HAS! We've prayed this so many times over the past year, and we want nothing more than God to be glorified though Koal's life and our journey through this time. We are filled with hope from the Holy Spirit daily and we know God is with us always.
