One year ago....

One year ago, I met this princess.
Sweet face.  Vacant eyes.

A friend said, "She needs you."

She was right.  In a way.

The truth is, it's not about me.  It rarely is.  (see last post... ha).  She needed SOMEONE.  Someone to love her and hold her.  And kiss her owies....
Well, she's got that now, and then some!





In six months' time, she has grown from 18.5 pounds to 26.25 pounds and from 27 inches to 33.6 inches!  Wow!   She's no longer a baby but a little toddler, although she has just now reached the 5th percentile....

And the beautiful thing is that on Monday, May 16, just three days ago, our judge entered the order declaring her a Steiner.  For life.  Elizabeth Mirembe.... now Leah Grace Elizabeth.  Woot!

Amazing! I loved your last post. So proud of you! Children keep us humble and remind us to ABIDE IN HIM, apart from HIM we can do nothing! :)

Praising God for that precious gift. And for His leading you to rescue that precious gift. It is UNBELIEVABLE the difference that being in a loving family has made. Makes me cry! I do that alot though! I love you all!
