Your sister will be here.

And both of you will be loving and helping and serving and laughing — it will be BEAUTIFUL.  But it will be different — vastly different.  And while I am excited beyond words at this new soul coming into our home, there is part of me wondering what it will be like to “share” you both in this new way.

So, I want you to know something.  I will ALWAYS love each of you as the *greatest*, most surprising gifts I have EVER received.  I love you dearly — you are each God’s “exceedingly, abundantly, beyond all we can ask or imagine” in my life.  I am literally awed speechless when I get a chance to stop and really SEE each of you — the way sunlight plays on your hair, the unique ways your personalities are reflected in your words.

I don’t doubt that when your sister gets here, I will feel EXACTLY the same way about her; she will be another gift that blows me away in God’s grace and mercy.  But I just need you to know, that no matter how many new gifts God sends into our family, the two of you will ALWAYS be so precious to me, SO LOVED by God and by your Daddy and me, and nothing will ever change the incredible relationship we have together.
I love you both. And I’m SO proud to be your Mama.
