365 Days..

I just spent the last hour reading my facebook posts from the week of Briella's birth last year. On the night she was born, I updated begging for prayers, that my little baby was here & the doctors were trying to save her. One friend commented " Her destiny is to Live! Briella King you will live! You will Live! We declare that over your life. You are one that raises the bar and goes against all odds. You are an overcomer!" and another friend-"Praying for briella to be saved in Jesus' name." 

I just want to thank each and every person that prayed, commented, sent messages & positive vibes, we couldn't have made it this far without you!!!!!

It is surreal to see how God has given me such a happy, bright eyed, strong willed gift & blessed our family for life.

My next update was "Briella made it through the night & is stable. 1 pound 6oz. She is having a blood transfusion now. Thanks for the continuous thoughts & prayers. I am in a peaceful place & we are hopeful. And lil Miss Aubrey is soooo excited." 

I remember the amount of peace that I had. Which is completely unlike me, ever. It was the Holy Spirit, I believe. Something I had never felt.  I just wasn't terrified as I think a mom in my shoes should have been. I was calm. 

There has not been one day (and night) go by that I forget to thank the Lord for giving me Briella. I see her smile and laugh and I cannot imagine what life would be like if the slightest thing would have happened differently. I have no idea what He has planned for Brie, but it must be amazing.
