My heart raced and my hands shivered when I heard that she was
about to come. I was supposed to be the "midwife''. But I was in class, teaching
the grade twos. I watched as the one life time opportunity swiftly passed me
by. I knew by the time the kids go home, she will be born already. I was too
late.
A few hours later, a text came through: “She is here!”
My heart sank with joy, my stomach turned upside down. I
couldn’t believe it.
My hands shook as I walked through that hospital entrance
today, and they shook some more as I stepped into that room.
And there she was, a delightful miracle from heaven above. A
gift by grace from the Father himself, a beautiful baby girl!
As I reached out to hold her and I looked down on her tiny
little face, I couldn’t help myself but to smile.
What a gift. Lesley was indeed a blessed woman. Every detail
of her face was so perfect and nothing was missing, it reminded me of those 6 words:
“God looked and it was good.”
Those little hands, though so small and empty, I pray that God would use them to reach out to the needy. And those little feet, though they might stumble and be weak, I pray that God would use them in His perfect plan. That all she is, will be fully His.

Having her in my arms truly felt special. It welled up tears
into my eyes… what a blessing indeed to be a mom. I loved her and I wish I could keep her forever...Our precious Tubby.
