Oh baby girl your mama is sad tonight.....<br />
I almost feel like you're slipping away from me and I don' t know what to do....<br />
You will have a new brother or sister in a few months and this baby will need to use your little bed and someday share your room.... and that feels wrong to me right now, but I'm pretty sure it will be ok when the time comes. It will still be your things too, just sharing them.....and sharing is good.<br />
But I need you to know that I love you still...<br />
just as much now as i did the minute I knew you existed, and I never for a minute stop thinking about you. You are my beautiful little angel girl and I still miss you so much.<br />
Mama's heart is big enough to love you both, I promise.<br />
Love you forever,<br />

Now to paint those black "relax" and "enjoy" words a<br />
color that matches.... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">P.S. There are already quite</div><div style="text-align: center;">a few tutorials out there for this and although I did mine a little different </div><div style="text-align: center;">than they did.... it's all pretty much the same idea.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And if you do give it a go.... I recommend Elastic thread! </div><div style="text-align: center;">It made the ruffles that much easier</div><br />

Even when life looks dark and there is nothing right in the world, God is there for and<br />
with us, encouraging us to keep going. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel, we just have to choose faith and MOVE FORWARD towards that light. There is no standing still in life, it may feel like a maze, sometimes making wrong turns, mistakes, but we are learning and growing along the way.<br />
<br />
I was at a place in my life where there didn't seem to be a light, I was done here, but when you reach bottom you finally start looking up.... and that's where hope is, that's where God is just waiting for you to reach out to Him, to just place your life in His hands. He can change everything, He can give second chances and that is where hope starts. He knows what He is doing, what is best for us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a song that I have been listening to often....<br />
<br />
Rend Collective Experiment- Second Chance<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/W6RNJ6HDTpU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
I am holding on to hope, praying for faith and thanking God for second chances <br />

<br />
Once I had all the photos<br />
I just made a collage using the 'picture pile' setting in Picasa 3.<br />

Although I'm going to be busy, I am so happy the weekend is almost here!<br />
I have flowers to do for <a href="http://redecoratingonawhim.blogspot.com/2011/03/first-wedding-of-2011.html" style="color: #38761d;">This</a> wedding, and so far , so good :) Just gotta keep my fingers crossed with that.<br />
<br />
So anyway, Day 3 is a picture of you and your friends.<br />
that's an easy one: This is me and my absolute best friend, the person who knows me better than I know myself, and fortunately loves me anyway :)<br />

What would her little babbling noises sound like?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I miss her more than anything!</div><div style="text-align: center;">She brought so much joy to our lives before she was even here.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But as her mother I shouldn't wish her back.... this </div><div style="text-align: center;">world is so awful and Heaven is so perfect...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why would I not want that for her??</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I'm selfish! I want to hold her, to kiss her soft skin</div><div style="text-align: center;">and most of all just love her.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wonder sometimes ... does she see me?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Does she know I'm her mom and how much I love and miss her?</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I used to sing to her all the time, I remember </div><div style="text-align: center;">thinking I wanted her to know about our Loving Heavenly Father </div><div style="text-align: center;">even before she was born, if that was possible.</div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my favorite songs to sing was</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWgeUrD4MHI" style="color: #741b47;"></a>How He Loves Us by the David Crowder Band</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I just have to remind myself that she is </div><div style="text-align: center;">happy and singing to Jesus now.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I travel on business, I like to talk to the taxi drivers who take me from the airport to my hotel, or to a convention center, or to a restaurant. Taxi drivers are often immigrants with interesting personal histories and unusual cultural backgrounds. I ask them how long they've been in America, how they chose which city to live in, and what they like best about where they live. Of course, I also ask them for advice on good local restaurants and any special attractions they'd recommend to a visitor. I've had some great experiences on my travels, thanks to the advice of taxi drivers!<br />
<br />
On one trip about ten years ago, I was making conversation with the taxi driver, asking him my usual questions about how he came to live where he lived. Then I asked him a hypothetical question: "If you could live anywhere in the world-and if money was no object-where would you live?" </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
Without hesitating even for a second, he replied, "I live in my heart. So it really doesn't matter where my body lives. If I am happy inside, then I live in paradise, no matter where my residence is." </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
I felt humbled and a little foolish for my question. Of course he was right-happiness is an inside job. He had reminded me of something I already knew, but had forgotten. If you can't find happiness inside yourself, you'll never find it in the outside world, no matter where you move. Wherever you go, there you are. You take yourself with you. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
I am grateful for the wisdom of that taxi driver. And I'm grateful for all the wisdom others have shared with me about how to be happy. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
