Matt & I have yet another surprise in store for the children in our family. One that Zach most likely saw coming but one that will be shocking the socks off his sister in March. Zach's 2nd little sister is on her way!
Meeting Zach and holding him stirred up this inspiring desire in Matt and I to see our family grow from all corners of life. For the moment, that rests in our desire to treasure and delight in the miracle of our biological children. But God has already planted deep seeds that go so much father beyond that. That will be the surprise to everyone else that we will laugh about some day :)
The coolest part is that our inspiration for our ever changing family isn't found in the hurt in our hearts in which we miss Zach but rather found in the joy in our hearts from the sweet time we had with him!
I was thinking about my children, including Zach the other day and the song Amazing Grace (the version by Chris Tomlin) was playing in the car... My favorite line in that song:
"The Lord has promised good to me" made me cry.
How true it is. God desires the very best for me just like I desire the very best for Halleah and Zach, even still. And then it struck me deep in my heart - that the Lord has promised good to me - and the part of that good that I treasure the most from my past is Zach. And part of that good that I look forward to the most is meeting all my children and seeing them all together some day.
What a miracle life is...
