Believe


"With God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26


Our hearts are full of joy as we welcome the arrival of our precious miracle, Miriam Lynn. She weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces and measured 20 1/2 inches long. We praise God for a healthy baby girl! As many of you know, our journey to our baby girl was difficult. I want to share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "Never Once" by Matt Redman. May these words encourage us to trust God in all circumstances because He is faithful.


Standing on this mountaintop. 
Looking just how far we've come.
Knowing that for every step. 
You were with us.
Kneeling on this battleground. 
Seeing just how much you've done.
Knowing every victory. 
Is your power in us. 
Scars and struggles on the way.
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did you leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, you are faithful.

Aunt Bethany & Gran stayed with us for two weeks.
Miriam arrived the day Aunt Bethany made it back to Nashville.
She was very excited to meet her and didn't want to miss one minute!

The Copeland family celebrated Christmas in Nashville at our house. 

Papa & Meme are thrilled to have a granddaughter!

Cousin Gentry adores baby Miriam. It's precious! 
We can't wait to meet his little brother or sister in February!

"For this child we prayed."

  2. Love, love, love all the pictures, and love this little gift from above. I promised God in my prayers for Miriam -- and you know how many there were! -- that He would get all the glory when she came! Never has a baby been more welcome or more wanted.
