Gwen, I am behind on reading posts, and I just finished catching up on you and Ivey. The Step post brought tears to my eyes. And, I will definitely keep all that you said in my mind and heart. I pray God gives me opportunities to give like that to others, and I pray that I am not so self-focused that I do not recognize these opportunities when they present themselves.

Your little girl is beautiful, and peppermint icecream - what a treat!! It is one of my faves, too! Jesus bless your baby girl!

Gwen,
I can't begin to tell you how much you and precious Ivey are ministering to me and probably to millions. Your words, your beauty just inspire my life. God has definitely given you a special journey, I'm sure one you wouldn't have choosen but nonetheless, you are carrying with great honor. You are seeing the world through the eyes of little Ivey and that is something not many of us would have ever taken the time to do. You are privileged. You are honored. And you have so much to teach us.All through a little girl. Without her, we would have never had this opportunity.
Those days when you are tired Gwen, let those around you carry you, hold you and embrace you so that we too can experience some of that love first hand.
I so admire you and your family.
Thank you for honoring our Heavenly Father with this journey.
We have much to learn.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I would have chosen peppermint ice cream first every day and twice on Sunday. What a treat.

Thank you for continuing to bless those of us around you by sharing your sweet daughter with us!

I've been out of town, but wanted to catch up now that we're back.

Have a blessed Christmas with your sweeties, Gwen!
