"You give us Your best for what we thought was better and You are to be praised"

five years ago, i was the girl who swore she wouldnt have kids. ever! here i am pregnant with my second. today, however, is my first baby's 4th birthday. my how time flies. i have so many things to be grateful for but that little man in my life... i cant believe i ever thought he was going to be a burden. i am thankful to Jesus for giving me His best in place of what i thought was better. how foolish we are in thinking we know what we need. or even want. and corbin will forever be my living proof of that. God saved me the day i became pregnant. and although at the time i thought my life was over, i know now that it was a life wasted on abuse and self-deprication that ultimately i was pulled out of by such small hands and feet. he is one of the greatest joys of my life. happy birthday my precious & ornery little boy. you have taught me patience. you have taught me to love in a way i never thought possible. you have made my life rich.
