Surprise!!! For you.... for me!!

I am to be a mama ... a mum!! a mom!!! a mummy!!!! 

I am utterly and completely overwhelmed ... I had no idea this is something that would happen ... I thought that door was so very closed!!! I came to Gentle Hands as a nurse only ...

... and then a month ago, out of the blue, Charity asked me if I would consider fostering a little girl called Bea (pronounced Baya)... 

Wow! I fell in love with Bea on my first trip to Gentle Hands. There is always one that captures your heart! She was THE ONE!! 

... and suddenly I'm being asked if I would be her Mama!!! ... oh, how my heart swooned ... my mind never had a chance :) 

My first encounter  ... two and a half years ago! 





.... And my heart for her has never changed....

Before I knew our future! 








I hope to give Bea the kind of life my parents have given me ... a life filled with love, of encouragement, and of unconditional support ... a life that has given me the confidence to always follow my heart. A life that has brought me here today.

I could not have asked for anything more. They will be my forever role models.  

I hope you will continue to follow me in my 'Gracious Journey' ... as a nurse, as a missionary ... and now as a mother! 

You never know what lies ahead ... even when you think that road does not even exist, it can suddenly appear!! I am a testimony to that, this day.
