From her new blog, Awakened To Dream, Keeli blogs about life as a wife and mother... Every morning I get to wake up to the sound of Anneli Grace rustling in her bed and talking. As I go to pick her up she always greets me with a big smile while continuously reminding me how blessed I am!

While pregnant strangers, family and friends told us to sleep while we could because once the baby came there would be no sleep. We have proved them wrong! We simply prayed for a baby who would sleep. Anneli slept so well when we brought her home from the hospital we had to wake her up to feed her.

Everyday I am amazed by how cute she is and how much fun she is! I love to watch her whether she is laughing, sleeping, eating or playing with her feet. Everything she does is so sweet. Having a baby has made me realize the love of our Father to a greater depth. As a parent I only want the absolute best for Anneli and if I could give her the most magnificent castle in the world I would. Jesus has extravagant plans and gifts for us. It is up to us to receive them. We should always choose to receive God’s perfect gifts!

Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. James 1:17
