My sister-in-law once shared a story (forgive me if I don't retell it exactly the same, DMA) about how she once called an ordered a pizza for her family. The pizza place said it would be delivered in about 30 minutes. She and her kids waited, expectantly, and hungrily. They waited 30 minutes and no pizza. They knew the pizza was coming. 40 minutes...They knew they had put in their order accurately. They watched out of the window... they waited. Almost an hour...It was agonizing. Been there? This wise mama pointed out the similarity between their situation and times that we have to wait on God to deliver. Trust that the pizza is coming--hold fast. For the family I photographed last weekend, the pizza is finally here. This is the soon-to-be big brother...
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born I set you apart." Jeremiah 1:5
Every baby is a miracle. Every baby has a story. This baby's story is amazing. Sometimes, when we're waiting on God to answer our prayers, it's hard to understand why He keeps us waiting. Then, in time He reveals His plan. He's often executing His plan on a different schedule than ours.
I was so honored to photograph this expectant family. Soon, they'll welcome this little person into their lives... What a blessed little baby, to be received with so much love.
