Today, Hensley Grace (my niece) turns two. I remember when that sweet little girl was born. My mind was in a thousand places, and I hated that. I didn't have the mental capacity to dote on her like I wish that I could've. She entered this world only 8 short days after my world came to a crashing halt because of cancer.
In fact, tonight, when I was uploading the photos from her party, I couldn't help but praise God for His healing hand upon my family. When Ashley was pregnant with Hensley, the doctors were guessing the worst about her. Ashley and Brian went through great stress and pain, fearing the unknown, as they waited for their sweet daughter to come. Her head was measuring very small, in proportion to the rest of her body, and Ashley and Brian were terrified for her life. It was at this point that she received her middle name, Grace. I have chills covering my body, just thinking about His grace. This precious angel is a testimony of His power. She is the recipient of much prayer, and I continue to wait in humble expectation of what the Lord will accomplish through sweet Hensley.
Nothing is a mistake. Nothing is a coincidence. It is all by His masterful design.
Here are a few looks into our precious time of celebration.

What a difference a year makes! Look at the change since her 1st birthday!


Especially, when compared to a year ago.







Hensley Grace, your Uncle Brian and Aunt Lindsey love you very much. Happy Birthday, Dear One!
