4 months

I can't think of a betters song/lyrics to play for Hadley's 4 month birthday in Heaven.  It is the song that was played at her memorial and the song that I played over and over again when I was in the hospital with her.  It isn't ironic that you were born exactly 4 months from your original due date.  God knew when you would be born and when you would come to Him.  Your time here with us was short but it will be nothing compared to the beautiful eternity we get to spend with you.  I am so humbled by God that he loves us that much!!

Happy 4 months sweet girl!!  We miss you so much and know you are more beautiful than ever!!

 (Please let song play while you look at pictures from her balloon release)

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
 Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain
I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain
 Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty 

After the storm, God always gives us a rainbow.  That is exactly what HE and Hadley gave to us on the last day of our trip!!

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." -James 1:12
