A year ago today Mr. Perfect was born!
For those of you that don't know his birth story it is really funny.....See Mr. Perfect was supposed to be a girl. That is what all the so called experts the Dr., nurses & 3D ultra sound people told us anyway. They said something like this to my daughter, "there is NO way in this world that you are having anything BUT a girl." .....that statement was made after ultra sound #2!
So, Mr. Perfect had a beautiful all pink baby shower, he had his room painted ice pink, and some of the cutest little dresses you have ever seen hanging in his closet on pink hangers.
He had a monogramed stocking with a girl's name on it for Christmas, he had a girl's name painted over his bed & a pink pacifier waiting on him when he arrived.
BUT God had other plans in mind.....perfect plans....
And today we are celebrating that perfectly planned life!
Grammie loves you Mr. Perfect! Happy First Birthday!
Ps 139: 13-16 For You formed my inward parts;You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
Oh, too funny. That happened to my cousin, too. :)
Happy birthday to Mr. Perfect... fashioned perfectly before time in the heart of God.
