I blinked and seven years just flew by. . This sweet girl couldn’t wait to make her appearance into the world, so she showed up two weeks early. She was tiny on the scale, but already had a powerfully strong voice. . She is full of energy, love, and compassion. She is also strong, confident and a defender of the weak. . We named her Arella, which means ‘messenger’ and her middle name is Joy. Our prayer for her is that she will become exactly that- a messenger of joy. . “As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!“” – Romans 10:14-15 . Arella, you amaze me every single day. You challenge me, push me out of my comfort zone and grow me in ways I would never grow on my own. I love you infinity plus one. Happy birthday sweet girl! 🎂 . #mygirl #sweetgirl #thisisseven #parenthood #momlife #parenting #happybirthday #growingup #messengerofjoy #flashbackfriday #fbf
