Why Am I Here?

I'm simply in awe of what the Lord has done in my life over the last 18 months. I know I've said it before, but I did NOT want to stay home when Hannah was born, but I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God was telling me to. After a long, long, long journey, life has started to make sense. I'm so thankful we serve a God who "knows the plans" He has for us. What would I have missed if God hadn't of put me here?
