The point is that the place I'm in now is a wonderful place to be. It's absolutely incredible when I think back to how things were this time last year. I have grown tremendously. My marriage has grown. My faith has grown. I'm learning to trust God's timing. I'm in a great place.
I'm now to the place where I am thankful that Kyle and I are childless. I don't see that as a bad thing any more. I love that our family is just me and my husband. I love that I am able to invest more in him, in my family, in my friends, and in my work than I would be able to if someone called me mommy. I especially love, love, love that I am able to be so present in the lives of my beautiful nieces (here's where the pictures start to come!). These two baby girls are so precious to me. They teach me things all the time. Their childlike innocence inspires me. Their behavioral issues cause me to think of the ways I continually disobey God. Their stubborn attempts to get their way with their parents remind me of how I react to my Heavenly Father.
Plus, they are just so darn adorable! These were taken on Monday when the whole Reynolds clan went up to the snow for a day of fun.
By the way, it's the little one's second birthday today! Happy Birthday, Ayla!

Fantastic photos Diana, and what a blessing to be in such a good place. I'm really happy for you and its a testament to the goodness God =)
Beautiful photos...and I love your attitude. My husband and I had infertility issues. We ended up adopting and now have 10 kids, adopted from the US, China and Guatemala! Yeah...God has a sense of humor.
You're right. They are just so adorable and they are darn lucky to have you as their auntie.
I am blessed to have been on this journey with you and pray for you. And I'm excited for how God is going to continue His work in and through you. Love you my friend!
Beautiful photos. They are adorable. I'm so happy that you are in such a great place right now. As you know we had some minor issues as well so I know somewhat of how you were feeling before you got to this wonderful place you are now. You are touching more people than you know! :)
Hi Diana- This is a wonderful post, full of peace and hope. God's timing is ALWAYS perfect, His plan for you and your husband is in His hands. Trust Him and continue to draw near to His heart. May you continue to praise him in all situations and delight in Him as he unfolds and reveals all the many blessings in your life and ones still yet to be fulfilled. Bless you!
What beautiful girls. Thank you for sharing a bit of your testimony. God's peace is really the best place to be. You are BLESSED!
They are cute little girls and they are lucky to have such a caring and passionate aunt. I am with you on your journey and know exactly how you feel.
