Hope
Posted on Saturday, June 26th, 2010 at 11:25 am“Hope is not knowledge, but rather the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us. It is confidence that if we live according to God’s laws and the words of His prophets now, we will receive desired blessings in the future. It is believing and expecting that our prayers will be answered. It is manifest in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and patient perseverance.”
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Our road to have children has been a challenging one. It seems like a rollercoaster. Some days I do really well, and other days it is a struggle. However in the past few months, I have felt a lot of hope. I still don’t know when the baby that is meant for our family will arrive, but I do know that it will happen. I know that there is a plan for us, a special birthmom, and for a baby that is meant to be in our family.
In the spirit of this hope, I wanted to do something special for Steve on Father’s Day. With the help of my sister-in-law, I created these little shirts. I don’t know whether we will have a boy or a girl so I created one for each.
Steve of course loved the shirts. He is so excited to be a dad! I know he’s going to be an incredible one!
I love how the stiching turned out! Both of them are so cute. We will definitely have to make more.
Those shirts are so cute! How did you make them?
My sister-in-law helped me out with most of it. We ironed some “Wonder Under” to the fabric and then we cut out the letters using a Cricut Machine. We then ironed the letters on to the shirt. I stitched around the letters on one of the shirts to help the letters stay on.
