New Parent Meeting
Sunday May 23rd Doug and I attended the New Parent Meeting for the Down Syndrome Guild. It was an opportunity to get some information on DS and meet other parents of children with DS. As a mother, I was excited to get to meet other parents yet I found myself tearing up as we walked into the room. Doug, once again was my rock as I walked nervously in and by taking my hand, he let me know that it was going to be okay. I have to say that it was surreal at first. As the meeting went on, I began to feel the nearness of God and a sense of calmness came over me. I realized, I was not alone. Then, I had the blessing of meeting some mothers and their children. These kids absolutely stole my heart! It was in that moment that I knew that Doug and I's purpose was much more than we could have ever imagined. We have been chosen by God to be a part of an amazing journey. All children are a blessing and our daughter is certainly that. In the three weeks that Emma has been on this earth, she has already began to show me things that I would have never otherwise seen...

Happy, Joyous, Free and at Peace are just a small pieces of the blessings that our God pours into our lives when we are called by His name. To be chosen to care for an angel and demonstrate through faith the Glory of God. Wow, what a wondrous gift.

I do believe that God only chooses particular people to be placed around children such as these and each serves a magnificent purpose. Baby Emma and your family have a high calling and your loving, spirit-minded friends and family will be there with you every step of the way. Remember the footsteps, right now Jesus is carrying you guys. :) love you
