Andrea and Payden Hope
Jen and Payden Hope
Over a year ago, Doug and I began to pray for my cousin Jennifer and her husband Travis. They desperately wanted a baby. Shortly after being asked to pray our prayers were answered. After a long time of trying "everything" to conceive, GOD answered.
We continued to pray for Payden as she grew and developed inside mommies tummy. On December 26th, GOD revealed this beautiful package of love to us. Payden Hope entered the world healthy and happy!
Last week, I was able to meet Payden face to face. Instantly, I fell in love. My heart rejoiced as I held her, knowing GOD has big plans for this little girl. I will eagerly watch as my new "little" cousin, Payden becomes all GOD created her to be.
Praising GOD,
Andrea
Congratulations!!!! She is adorable and a true miracle from God.
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous! Congratulations! My son and DIL have been married 9 years. They've had two miscarriages and are now expecting another child, so we know about the ups and downs and the waiting. If you think of it, join me in prayer for them.
ReplyDeleteChildren are such a blessing. Praise God for his little miracles.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little miracle!!! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling gift from the Father's hand! Praising Him with you for this sweet little life.

She is so beautiful!!! I find myself missing the time when my boys were infants (never thought I'd say that, because I was so stressed when I was in the moment).
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and leaving your sweet comments!
Oh, she is beautiful, Andrea! What a life-long connection the two of will have....
ReplyDeleteMy only child died at birth and I am not able to conceive again because of the trauma to my body, in order to save my life after he died. I have come to terms with this. So, it makes me very, very happy to witness a couple like this who so wanted a child and their prayers were answered!
Have a wonderful day, Andrea! xo, misha

ReplyDeleteAnd your site looks wonderful. The peace of the colors are wonderful. She did a beautiful job. Everything just stands clear and focused as your writing does to we, the readers.
You mentioned you had been missing me this week. I have had a week and the moments of quiet did not lend themselves to writing. I just needed to be quiet or to be in a fog or in a cloud with my LORD. : ) Thanks for your encouragement and sharing.
loving you ~ linda
She is a little doll, so sweet! You look so proud, bless you!
