Tears of joy for all of you. Welcome to our world, sweet precious Rinnah Jane! Please share with her the story of how a stranger knew she would one day be in your lives because He sent the vision in a dream(even if I had the name wrong somehow).
Thank you for sharing your miracles. I too experienced a long wait for my miracles. I am grateful that you’ve shared your journey, for it can be a lonely one for many.
So beautiful, all of it! Enjoy this precious time❤️
Welcome, sweet Riannah. You are a blessing to all!
