Colt,
Happy Birthday sweet angel!
Did you know that your life is an example
of God’s love?
In the midst of my
very darkest hour there was a little ray of light.
When I wanted to
lose hope and get lost in the grief over losing my mother, I could not. There
was a baby.
There was a baby
who needed me to keep it together. There was a baby that begged me to eat and
who kept me from drowning in my sorrow. There was a baby who gave me hope and a
future.
You were a light
in our darkness, joy in our pain, and a promise that our family would move
forward and thrive!
I want you to
always know how God has used your life, even before you took your first breath.
You were fearfully
and wonderfully made, my sweet baby boy!
From the top of
your white, blond hair… to the bottom of your dirty, chunky feet… YOU are HIS!
He made you
unique!
Oh, and ARE you
EVER the unique child! You are shy and prefer to be at home. And if you are not
at home, you want to be wherever your Daddy is…
You want to sit
with him while he watches TV, you want to stare at him as he cuts the grass,
and you stand outside the door while he is in the bathroom. You love going to
his closet and getting out his shoes…just to see if they fit your feet this
time. You cry when he leaves the house and REJOICE when he gets home!
Your laugh is the
greatest sound I have ever heard. I wish I could bottle it up and keep it
forever. I have never met such a good looking baby boy in my life! The first time I got
a good look at you, I remember thinking how handsome you were already.
Your Grandaddy ("Da Da Da") says you are the smartest boy in Georgia ;)! He watches your every move.
I am not sure if
you ever will start talking. ..but that does not slow you down. We all know
EXACTLY how you are feeling at any moment.
Your sister is
your best friend! You two have a blast together. She adores you and HATES to hear you cry. She is your biggest defender and I pray it
always stays that way.
But deep, deep
down…everyone knows your heart belongs to your Mommy. We are a team.
I am so thankful
that Jesus chose me to be your Mom. I can think of no higher honor.
Each moment that I
get to pray over your life brings me joy. Oh, and there are A LOT of prayers!
He has used you in
a mighty and powerful way already. I cannot imagine what He has in
store for your life! I am so thankful to have a front row seat!
I love you Colt Man! You
make my heart sing!
Love, Mommy
