My sweet little nephew was an answer to uncountable prayers..... and although it may have taken him a while to get here I have to say he was well worth the wait.
Please don't misunderstand me, I am not saying that those who pray for children and don't ever conceive are being ignored by their Maker. I truly believe that God hears our pleads and knows our hearts desires, but not always do our prayers match "His plan". I know that God doesn't always fulfill our prayers the way we see fit, however He does ALWAYS fulfill our needs. Sometimes when mothers ask for their arms to be filled with a child God chooses to answer their prayer differently then they had imagined.
Some babies grow in their mother's womb and some grow in their mother's hearts.
I am the product of that kind of love. My grandmother may not have conceived my beautiful mother in her womb but she did in her heart. She loved and prayed for my mother before she ever saw her face or touched her little body. My mother could not have known a greater kind of love. I am so thankful God chose to answer my grandmother's prayer with "His plan".
This time the prayer met with "His plan" and we will forever be grateful for the blessing that we have received this week. I can't wait to see what big plans God has for this beautiful little miracle.
