T-minus 49 hours

At T-minus 58 hours, my precious little 2 and a half year old Gracie came running into my arms with a card in hand. It simply said: "Hope you will be back soon." She wrapped her arms tight around me and buried her face in my chest... and I almost lost it. She seemed to know I needed the hug, and stayed to snuggle for 30 minutes. As we sat there on my entryway floor, everything in me wished time would freeze.

Right now, my life consists of cherishing the little, insignificant moments doing normal, everyday things... treasuring each moment with these people who have somehow become so tangled up inside my heart. And praising, rejoicing, and thanking God for the blessing of having had them to love.

with God's grace... future world-changers
