What a blessing it is to look back and see God's hands on my life. What a blessing it is to be a mom of two! What a blessing it is to share a testimony that fairy tales come true, and that there was a prince out there just for me! It's been encouraging to reflect on where I've been and where the Lord has brought me and my growing family. Be blessed today, God is not finished with us!!
