This journey to our Karleigh Mei has been an amazing path. We are trusting and putting our faith in the Father in ways that I've not imagined before. The emotions that I have felt have been like a roller coaster. Although the emotions that I have felt have not been new. Even though I'm not carrying my darling girl around in my belly, she is just as ever present! I cannot feel her moving inside of me, but she is still stirring in my heart! My imaginings and dreams of her are the absolute same as any of my other children before their birth. The excitement, anxiety, fears, unbelief at times, and incredible overwhelming love for someone I've not yet met---all of these emotions I have felt before with my other children. My thoughts of her consume my every waking hour (and sleeping too!). I love it when others ask about her! So if you see me and are afraid to ask, please do not be afraid!! I love my girl so very much and it's about all I really want to talk about! Also, please remember to be praying for her. It breaks my heart that I cannot be with her and her with me! Pray that the Lord continues to keep His hand on her! I can sense that the time is drawing near that we will see her precious face.
"Great is Thy Faithfulness"
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Refrain
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

It is such a God-thing that you would post about that song because I can't even count how many times in my life when I am going through a period of waiting or unsurety or questioning that God brings me back to that simply worded song....
Great is thy faithfulness, Oh God my father
there is no shadow of turning with thee
Thou changest not; thy compassions they fail not
AS THOU HAST BEEN THOU FOREVER WILT BE!
While many times it is easy to sing that entire verse there are many times I find myself simply able to utter:
Great is thy faithfulness, Oh God....my father....

What an awesome post! Thank you. I know Karleigh Mei is such a part of you and because she is, I know there are days of sadness and loneliness, too. I pray it won't be long...
Love that song. Am humming it now and really thinking about the words that I've often brushed over...
Love you~
