One Year of Awesomeness

This is Isabel-Juda: for unto God she is vowed and to God she has been promised. And out of her lips has praise been ordained.
 

Sometimes, words just won’t do

Remember those words, the evening I announced her birth? If you need a refresher, click here. (Can you believe it’s 12 months already?)

Our daughter, Isabel-Juda turns one this week and this post is about her. I pray she sees it someday and it puts a smile on her face and gratitude in her heart.

I thought hard about what to write and how to structure this post. I couldn’t find the words. So I decided pictures will do the talking. Sometimes, words are simply not enough.

Sometimes, pictures speak better words than letters

The joy of getting married is on one level but seeing the fruit of that union emerge in your care is pretty much on a different level. It blows you away. The late nights, the short sleeps, the chaos (yes chaos) represent stages of a journey. I’m in awe!

I welcome you to take a look at what’s truly been growth in one year of awesomeness:
