2020 is a Gift

In January, I wrote about walking in Godfidence and not allowing my fears to sit in the driver’s seat of my life. I prayed and I definitely received, however, God has quite the sense of humor. 2020 has been quite the year. As much as I’ve had my heart broken this year, my heart has also been filled with gratitude.

As sit here reflecting on the past year that my family has experienced, including the glocal pandemic, I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the greatest gift I received this year: my beautiful daughter. 30 days ago I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I’m still trying to wrap my head around being a Mama, because it seems like just yesterday. The pain I felt was worth hearing my husband say that our baby was a girl. The pain was worth seeing her face. It was worth hearing her cries. It was worth feeling her body against mine. Today, I look at her belly button and it is a reminder that just last month she was connected to me physically (So far she is the only human who knows what my heart sounds like from inside).

I’m grateful that God chose me to be her mother. I’m grateful that I was created woman. I am so grateful that each day God is helping me to grow and be more confident in my new role.

There is so much more that I want to share, but I will do that over the next few months.

with joy,

Raquel
