I was looking back over a journal that I was writing in when we first moved here to Jefferson City and I was really amazed. Back then, I was very confused about the paths on which God had us. But, just like always, he has given us joy for the ride that we're on in the form of Lilian. I don't normally do quotes, but this little song that I used to sing when I was little in church just popped back into my head and I feel it very pertinent to our situation now.
"Something beautiful, something good;
All my confusion He understood.
All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife,
But He made something beautiful of my life."
I really do believe that. She has brought so many changes along with her, some which I didn't know if I was going to get used to. But, she's just a little bitty vessel being used by our loving Father to mold Sean and I. And gladly, we're softening more every day.
