Contentment

I'm told my hands are full. I'm told I'm busy. On occasion I'm told I might be crazy. But really, all I am right now is content. Charlotte Faith joined us on 11.11 and our hearts overflow. A girl. We couldn't believe it and we are so thrilled. We are in a place we never thought we'd be in again and it's a feeling  I can't describe. My heart and mind go back in time. Of babies loved and lost. Of the two loves we brought home not long ago. And hearing her first cry brings tightness to my chest. 

 Joel 2:25

“I’ll make up for the years of the locust,
    the great locust devastation—
Locusts savage, locusts deadly,
    fierce locusts, locusts of doom,
That great locust invasion
    I sent your way.
You’ll eat your fill of good food.
    You’ll be full of praises to your God,
The God who has set you back on your heels in wonder.
    Never again will my people be despised.
You’ll know without question
    that I’m in the thick of life with Israel,
That I’m your God, yes, your God,
    the one and only real God.
Never again will my people be despised."

Hearing Trey recount our story from the last few years gives me chills. The locusts came and devoured. And He has restored. Is restoring. Contentment overwhelms me. And it's perfect.
