The frenzied posting, calling and emailing is over. Nisa Faith has been announced to the world. As we approached the day that we celebrate our Saviors birth, we finally get to truly celebrate Nisa’s coming.

Nisa’s cheeks are getting a lot of kisses. Allana is feeling a little more tired than usual….but then she just had a baby and she is not as young as she used to be.
We were prepared for all of the life changes that a newborn brings. Bassinet, Pack n Play, bottles, formula, car seat, diapers etc…. What we did not know was that God had also prepared us for the changes that most likely even on this day two years ago were beginning to take place in the depths of Allana’s bones (weird to type that and not mean it metaphorically). Eleven years of growth through struggle as a family, as individuals and as children of the Living God was about to be tested in a way that we had not imagined even in our wildest nightmares. Still even as we were prepared for Nisa’s arrival, God had prepared us for that which we could not have even begun to be ready for. So many crossroads where God directed what seemed the long and windy path. It seemed so foolish, as foolish as buying diapers and preparing a nursery for a baby that would never come.
Nisa was here, and the long and windy path would soon be clear.
