There has been SO much joy in my heart lately... SO MANY amazing things have happened lately. It is so amazing how God plants blessing in our lives even when we don't deserve them. Lately, I have been so much more open to seeing the beautiful and amazing things in life... the little things that make each day so amazing. And today, a BIG thing happened. An amazing thing.
One of my oldest and dearest friends, who I have been through hell and back with, welcomed a baby boy into the world. Jacque Neville Tompkins. AND SHE DID IT ALL NATURALLY! Her and her husband are such amazing people who have hearts for God that shine through in their relationship with each other and those around them... what a lucky baby to be born to such loving parents. And how lucky am I to have a little nephew! Waking up this morning to a text from her sister saying he was born early in the morning put the hugest smile on my face and gave my day the jump start it needed... I couldn't wait to be done with classes so I could go meet my new little man! Needless to say... he is beyond beautiful with the most adorable little features and sneezes.
Looking at this beautiful little boy made me realize how precious each day is. And that blessings are always the best when they come in small packages... whether it be an A on an exam or a new baby boy weighing only 6 pounds... it is the smallest things that keep life going when it gets tough. Thank God for this little baby who has brought so much joy to our hearts, and thank God for the little pieces of beauty He gives us each day.
