Happy First Birthday, Selah Grace!

It feels like we blinked and she has grown into this happy, silly, smart, beautiful girl. She brings so much joy to our lives, and has taught us more about the Father’s grace, faithfulness, and love than she will

ever

know. She made me a

mommy

. And not only are we celebrating her today, but deep in my heart, I am celebrating a year of being, mommy. One absolutely beautiful year.

All I can do today is cry. Because God is so faithful. He is so good. He was good during the

darkest days of our journey

to find her, and He has been good in the sweetest days. So ultimately, we’re celebrating Him. His goodness, His faithfulness to us, and His great love for this precious girl.

“For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your

faithfulness

to the clouds.”

Psalm 57:10 ESV
