Day of Joy



 My beautiful niece Callyn Joy Thomas was born October 14 at 1:24 pm. She was 7 pounds exactly and 18 inches, had the chubbiest cheeks and LOTS of hair!
Wow, I just cant believe she is here. This is one of the best feelings I have ever had. As soon as I saw her the first time, my breath was just taken away. She was so beautiful. God has already taught me so much because of this little one! With everything that happened last time with Tatum Cate, our hearts were left broken and hurt. Still then, I knew that God had a plan and man did he! With Tatum's death, God has MOVED huge in my families life. He told us it was going to be ok and it was. I love looking back and seeing how much Paiges and Jarods walk with Christ has strengthened and how much God has used them to help other people who have gone through the same thing as them, and it simply amazes me. And for me, God just showed me how much I needed Him. When you go through times of pain, you look for something to comfort you- and for me it was Christ and He showed me just how much He loved me and showed me that through this, I will learn perseverence.  Now when I see Callyn Joy, God just reminds me of how faithful He is! Each time I see her I just get reminded of How huge and powerful God is, and how he created and allows us to love on something like this. I just cannot be thankful enough :).
