Title: You
{If you are new to this challenge, you can catch up on the details here }
On the final day of this Thanksgiving challenge, I cannot help but be thankful for you. Yes, you, the one reading this post. This experience has opened up a completely new world to me ~ a world I thought I did not need. The process into blogging this journey has not been without great thought, but it has been so much more rewarding than I ever dreamed possible. So many of you have cried with us, prayed earnestly for us, laughed with us, and shared in as much of our experience as you possibly could do. You have written kind notes and comments, sent thoughtful gifts for our baby girl, provided gift cards and funds to supply food and gas needs while in the hospital, and you have encouraged us most by your unending, faithful prayers. I never would have imagined how one, tiny baby could touch so many lives; and we are humbled to watch God using her journey to draw others to Himself. As we close this Thanksgiving challenge {although not in our hearts}, the overflow of this month seems to be spilling over and culminating as we turn to celebrate Noelle's first birthday in just over one week. My heart is so full as I work on some special projects for this momentous occasion; and as I look at my precious daughter these days, tears often fill my eyes as my lips whisper, "thank you, God." I am grateful that He knows my heart, and my simple words are enough. The postings this week will be rare {if any} as we prepare a special project to launch on the blog on her birthday, December 8th. As a prelude to that surprise, I am sharing a look back at the early days, the very beginning of this journey. Thank you for walking this journey with us.
