A Blessing in Disguise

During the past few weeks, I have come to realize that an incredible blessing has resulted from our struggle with infertility. I've always believed that God would work wonders through this process, but I expected it to be mostly internal for me. And while the challenges have definitely strengthened my character, this waiting has also allowed my relationship with Liliana to grow and develop into something even more beautiful than I ever imagined.

Because Liliana has been our only child, she has not known a day that she wasn't the primary focus of our attention and adoration. Had our family expanded as we planned, my attention would have been divided...and our bond would not be so strong. Not only have I been able to give her more one-on-one time, but I've also nurtured her with such a thankful heart. Waiting on the Lord has given me more gratitude and patience..and ultimately, an opportunity to know my daughter in a truly profound and priceless way.

Thank you, God, for this precious daughter. May it be Your will to grant us the gift of another child.

Bless you,
Ramona
