Today is the Day God Planned : That You Would Be a Mommy!

1.8:2010: This is Lisa, Liz's friend, and blog coach. :) I have been thinking of Liz and Brad all day as I'm sure all of her friends and family have.

So I wanted to post a special note -- to ask for prayer today for them.

• pray that God give them the comfort of knowing--confidently--that they will know exactly what to do for their Natalie Rose--no matter what it is she needs.
• pray for a smooth transistion for little Natalie Rose. This day will be so traumatic--although a blessing for her.
• pray that Natalie Rose is not frightened and if so, easily comforted. Although her tears are a healthy sign of her ability to bond, it is so terribly hard on the mom and dad's hearts to see their little one hurting so. 

Liz: This is it! It's the day! It's here! You're not dreaming about it anymore. You're not talking about it, or planning for it! It's here. Today, is the day you dreamed all those many years ago. The day you prayed so deeply for. The day you will be a Mommy! This is the day, God will place in your arms, the most amazing little girl, that will forever transform your lives in ways that are too amazing for us to begin to understand or even dream of. The little girl he chose for you and Brad, from the beginning. And oh what an amazing Mommy you'll be! This is truly a miraculous day--and I am so honored to know you and have a front row seat on God's miracle, God's plan for you and your beautiful family.

I'd like to close by encouraging family and friends to leave comments here. Once you leave a comment--it is immediately emailed to Liz and Brad in China. These comments and messages of love and support will bring an amazing amount of comfort and warmth to them--half way around the world.
