It is "the object of your hope that sustains you."

Well Stephen, you are keeping us in suspense! Funny how life stops for a seven pound bundle of joy!
The doctor says tomorrow is the day; what do you say, little one?  I have a feeling tomorrow is going to change our lives forever.
 Sleep tight, Stephen. Get ready to greet the world!

Baby Stephen, could this be the eve of your birthday? We all wait in anticipation, hoping to hold you in our arms. Our lives are on hold; we want nothing to take away from your arrival. 
Sweet little one, sleep tight and know you are loved!

I just finished the most inspirational book, Found Art, discovering the beauty in foreign places by Leeana Tankersley. She is a member of Flood,  my daughter's church in San Diego.  Leeana shares how God touched her life during a year in Bahrain on one beautifully crafted page after another. Oh, I hated putting down her beautiful memoir; I felt like I had found a kindred spirit.

Just to tease you, here are two of my favorite quotes from  Found Art:


"The layers of numbness began dying a slow death that day. In their place sparkled an inkling of desire. And desire, as we all know, is the most scandalous freedom there is."


"Great power resides in a voice that sings for no audience and searches for no approval, and yet owns the depth and breadth and passion it has been given."


Leeana's book was found art for me.
