Just when things get tough, I am reminded how blessed I am to have two wonderful daughter. I have found myself singing "Whatever My God Ordains is Right" lately (thanks Luke for the CD), and just thinking that God knew that Hannah and Kate were supposed to be in my family - He ordained it and it is right. I remember my heart yearning for a child, and now I have two beautiful girls who excel at everything they seem to put their minds to. What treasures they are, even though I sometimes lose sight of their uniqueness in the midst of the chaotic moments. Sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking that we have control over when we will have kids, and how many kids we will have. How wrong we are! God ordains all things, and however wrong it seems he may be, he is right. I praise God for my two daughters and my heart breaks for those who really would love to have kids and cannot. Literally. I can't imagine how God looks at us, his children, and allows such pain, but again I know that what he ordains is right - but it just feels so wrong.
Sorry for the vent - usually my blog is all about my girls, and I will blog later about sweet Kate who is six months old today, but right now my heart is heavy. I just needed to get my head on straight, and submit to God knowing that what he does is right, even though I have an idea of what is best for my friends and family.

I completely agree, children are the greatest gift from God. We are truly blessed to have Amy have great cousins like we do. Thanks for reminding us about how important and blessed we are to have our children.
