For some very strange reason, I got to thinking about a line from the Garth Brooks song, "Unanswered Prayers." The line that came to me was, "...Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers." In a big way I don't agree with that line because I believe God answers ALL prayers but maybe not how we want them answered. So, as I think about our journey to Lindy I acknowledge how some of God's greatest gifts are through prayers answered HIS way and not ours. If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't have this face to see later this morning...
What are you thankful for today?

so sweet! i remember the excitement of seeing those first pictures...and oh, how's she's grown~ such a doll, and a blessing.
She is SO precious. I'm thankful for the food I eat, the air I breathe, the beautiful things I can see and my family and friends to share it with.
I am thankful for that same phone call! Nothing like it!
Such a sweet face!
What a blessing Lindy is. I can't wait to see who the Lord will bless you with next. :o)
My goodness, she's BEAUTIFUL!!! Congratulations on your blessing. :)
Now that is something to be thankful for!
She is so cute in her referral photos. Eli likes to wear the Mr. Potato glasses too!
ohhh what a special day... what a beautiful baby she was! I have a smile on my face now as I remember my phone call and how I then anxiously sat in front of the computer waiting for photos!
Have a wonderful weekend, and I agree, Our dear Heavelny Father does always hear and answer us. Psalm 91 says we will call and He will answer, I am so thankful for His many answers...
It has almost been a year since our referral day - whew, gets me glassy-eyed everytime. Lindy could not be more precious...I think we'd all explode if she exuded any more cuteness. She is a blessing, a miracle and certainly an answered prayer. I am thankful for your sweet girl this day and her incredibly special mommy who has managed to restore my faith in friendship.
I wish you happy this day:)
Love,
Heather
Oh my goodness, what an absolutely precious FACE!! I imagine that it was love at first sight!
Thank goodness God not only answers prayers, but answers them for our BEST, not always for our WANTS :)
Lindy is so precious. She is beautiful!

I LOVE Lindy's referral photos! Gorgeous!
Congratulations on the two year anniversary of seeing Lindy's beautiful face. I can't wait until you are posting photos of Lindy's mei mei.
Wow, even Lindy's referral pictures were absolutely adorable! It truly is amazing to look back and see how God has answered our prayers HIS way.
I often think of that song, too.
What a beautiful little girl!

I feel terrible that I am just reading this now! I can't believe it has been two years... You are so right about how God answers our prayers. I feel that way every time I hear Selah's version of "The Broken Road" too! I know what a blessing Lindy is to you. But, I also know if she was typing her Thankful Thursday entry last week, she would be giving thanks to God for her very special Mommy!

My favorite smoothie recipe is (I just estimate the amounts) about a 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries with about a 1/2 cup water. We also use a 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder to make it extra nutritional. I LOVE THIS and it makes a gorgeous purple smoothie! ; ) Let me know if you like it!
Such beautiful photos!
Linda
I too am thankful for "our moment" as well, it was very similar to the day I gave birth to Dayton.
Loved hearing your story, it really takes me back to those days. We were a May LID as well, and I remember feeling very excited for all of the families getting there referrals, and also very excited knowing we were next!
I feel so bad at how behind I am in checking in...there are not enough hours in the day! I love this post. Brought tears to my eyes as tomorrow is our referral anniversary. Lindy was so beautiful in those photos and she is even moer beautiful now. Amazing what love and a froever family will do. God does answer all of our prayers (just not always how we think He will).
Happy referral day anniversary!!!!
love,
Kim
