Desert Maternity

How wonderful to see the desire of her heart come true – a girl is to be welcomed by three older brothers who are excited awaiting her arrival end of summer. Jennifer has been a blessing from the first day I met her almost a decade ago. From being baptized in her pool to celebrating birthdays as the years roll on and being Auntie to her little ones, and having her by my side when I got married, it is a true blessing to see each other as often as we do – when it was in a weekly small group, to living life in the same church community. The older I get, the tighter and smaller my world seems to become, and the less time I have, the more value I find spending time with a treasured friend like her. Since I wasn’t given a sister in my family, I sure am happy to have her as one of my chosen.
