pink lint

Today, I cleaned out my lint trap in the dryer. It is something I do before every use. I got a little teary eyed when I did it today because I was holding a handful of pink lint. I still am so amazed to have Annie Joy- and what a blessing she is.
I love that because of her I was holding in my hand ..... pink lint. I love dressing her in pink. It somehow matches her sweetness. All this time God was holding me in His hand and trying to get me to wait more patiently because He was able to see what was to come.
He was getting me ready for our bundle of joy.
He wasn't holding out on me.
He was waiting for the right time.
He was preparing me for pink lint.
I love you, Annie.
Thanks for making me a mom.
