Harper's all dressed up in her Easter Bonnet for you today!
Isn't it so cute????Today Jesus is my provider. I went to a little Christian school in 6th grade and in chapel we would sing a song about "Jehovah Jirah - my provider" and I have never gotten that song out of my head. Probably because God always wanted me to remember that he is my provider. He has ALWAYS provided my needs. I will never be rich and I'm more than fine with that - but God has taken care of me. The verse I love and that has been so true for my family is Malachi 3:10. "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows."
Today's song is Chris Tomlin (and my personal American Idol Christy Nockels) singing Hillsong's "Fire Fall Down". I just love this song! It's just a total "God - I'm seeking you with all I have" song.
Please keep Angie and Todd Smith in your prayers today. Today is Audrey's birthday. One year ago they met and lost their precious daughter. Angie has been such an inspiration to me and even a friend. I admire her faith so much and I pray God blesses their family abundantly.

Darlin bonnet! Oh how fun it is to dress them up for Easter- I'm taking my little girl for her Easter shoes today after school.
Thank you for the Jesus the Provider reminder. I really needed that today.
Oh my word! Harper must be the most precious Easter Bunny! Remember, you are wealthy in love, a beautiful family and an inspiration to us all. How wonderful to see how Harper has grown - that face with its expressions! Thank you for brightening my day! Sending special hugs from South Africa!
Adorable! Probably one of my favorite pictures of Harper!
She's a sweetie.
harper's facial expressions are TOO CUTE!! seriously, she is beautiful!
I love her Easter Bonnet. That is way too cute. Have you decided what she is wearing for Easter?
I have been thinking of Angie and Todd since last week. I knew Audrey's birthday was coming up and how hard it would be for them. They will be in my prayers today.
Everyday you post photos, Harper looks so much bigger! Time goes by way too fast! She is so adorable. Have a Happy Easter!!
Many Blessings,
Amanda Watts
That Harper is just too cute!!! Thanks for the precious pictures.
Also, thank you for the daily inspirations and songs. I have been blessed by each one. God is so good!
On of my favorite old songs....Jehovah Jirah
I will not be able to get it out of my head all day...one of those kinds of songs...
Your little doll is beautiful....
Oh. My. Goodness. Harper is too cute! Thank you for sharing your faith! It's inspiring...
Thanks so much for the reminders of what Jesus is to us. My friends are going through a VERY difficult time with their 4 yr. old in PICU with heart and bleeding problems and have almost lost her 2 times just in the last week. Your reminders are so timely.
And yes, OF COURSE Harper is TOO CUTE in that bonnet! LOVE IT! I'm already looking forward to seeing her Easter dress for her church debut, too! :)
Have a great day and thanks again.
Harper looks so adorable as usual! I love that song. I never know the names of songs that we sing in church. We sing them and I think, "I love that song, I wish I had it on CD" but I never know what it is called. When I started listening to this I was so happy to know that it is one of the songs we sing at church. Now I know the name and can go buy the CD! Ha! Thanks for keeping me in the loop! I really like it when you post about Christian music. It is so fun to listen to and makes me feel so joyful!
Harper looks just like you in the first picture!!
I love love love the first picture. Too cute!
I have been a lurker of your blog for a very long time. I have to comment that Harper is soooo stinkin' cute. I feel like my day is not complete unless I have seen her picture for the day. I also had infertility issues...so I can relate. I do have a son and a daughter and I thank God for them everyday. Now I just need grandkids.....
Chris Tomlin just did a concert here about 2 weeks ago. He is amazing. We have some pretty amazing photos from his show.
Harper is looking beautiful as always. I love the hats and bows. I look back at all my girls baby pictures and I don't think I have any that didn't have a bow or a hat. You will love all these pictures as she grows up.
Hearts and Hugs

What a cute Easter bonnet!
Harper is so beautiful!
A TRUE MIRACLE OF GOD!!
i love the bonnet! harper looks like her mommy!
I have enjoyed reading your blog since before Harper was born. Thank you for sharing your heart and being so real. Your story is an inspiration. I'm so glad your story has turned out so well. I love watching Harper grow up!! She just gets cuter every day. I'm a mom of three little girls and I can appreciate all her little girly things! I am also a children's photographer - I can tell you have an good eye for photography as well!! You can check out my site at www.timelessandtreasured.com
Harper's hair bow is just so precious! Thank you for the daily dose of wisdom and wonderful words. You are an inspiration!
Harper looks absolutely adorable, especially in that first photo! I remember singing "Jehovah Jirah, My Provider" in children's church when I was little...I used to love that song, and it's so true :-)
Harper is the cutest thing! Her Easter bonnet is precious! I think she gets cuter everyday! I love this song! I just love when Chris Tomlin and Christy Nockels sing together! I love this week's theme! Thank you for sharing!
God Bless -

That's a far better bonnett than what my mother put on me as a child! :) Everytime I see one of those hats out somewhere, I think of you guys!
kelly, every day when I get home from work I read your blog. Bailey sits on my lap and she just LOVES baby Harper. Today she even giggled when she saw her in her hat. I wish our girls could meet in person.
Harper looks adorable in her Easter bonnet!!
Just wanted you to know that a couple of years ago our church had a jungle theme and all the kids learned Jehovah Jira- words and hand motions. The cd is still a fave around our house. Maybe I will send you one! :)
love all Haper's sweet Easter outfits!!!
What a precious little blessing! I love to see what she has on each day. I actually look forward to getting home to check your blog and see that beautiful little face. Before it was your weekly belly pictures. BEAUTIFUL
Love your post today (and always) but i love any time some one points out Malachi passages as I have a Son names that. His birthday this year is on the Monday after Easter and he was born on Good Friday, It was a scheduled c-section and everyone was like stay away from "friday the 13th" my answer was why its Good Friday and it will always be a good friday to me as I have a fourth gift from God not counting salvation. Please keep up your blog it is great if you have time check mine out I am not as creative as you but I enjoy it. danielsfive.blogspot.com
Thanks so much Michelle
Harper is adorable!
I enjoyed reading your Focus on the Family related interview. I too didn't get married until my early 30's, and although I didn't have typical infertility problems as such, I did find out post-marriage that I had major problems with my uterus. I've had a couple of C-Sections and major surgery, but now, at the age of 41, I have the 4 children we prayed for. God is soooo good. Harper is a tremendous testimony to the grace of God.
BTW we got to visit Hillsong in Sydney once when our eldest was a baby. We actually got to meet Brian Houston, and found him to be a genuine and humble man.

Oh goodness sakes! I love that picture of Harper!!!
I am always inspired by Angie, as well! I cannot even imagine what they are going through. But, praise God, she still keeps her eyes on Jesus!
She is tooo cute!!!
I have to ask - do you hand make all her bows? They are all so beautful and eloborate?
Im over at The INfertility Journey to Motherhood...I love the bows and need to know!
She is the cutest thing ever:)
And thanks for the reminders of Him always providing especially during these turbulent times.
Love the song too:)
Blessings always,
Kaye
Matthew 21:22
LOVE your posts this week! Harper is a-dorable, and she is looking SO much like you!!!!
I grew up singing Jehovah Jirah, My Provider, too! God has brought it to my mind so many times over the years. Such TTRUTH! Harper is looking smashing, as usual!
Praying for Angie and her family.

Hi Kelly,
I've been following your blog for awhile now. You are so blessed to have Harper. Harper is such an adorable girl; I love all the pic's you post of her. She's the cutest thing I have ever seen:o) I have 2 boys, Jack-12 yrs. and Samuel-10 yrs. and 2 Westies-Max and Sadie! I know you love anything monogrammed and maybe you already been on the site, but if not check out brooklynAlizabeth! Take care and God Bless!

Love, Love, Love the Easter Bonnet. It just warms my heart everyday to see her little face!
Love Harper's bow and bonnet! She looks like a true model posing every day for her close-up!
Blessings!
You KNOW I love that big 'ol bow! What a sweet baby girl!
I must tell you something funny about that song "Jehovah Jirah - my provider". We used to sing it at church too here in Australia. My daughter was about 5 at the time and she thought the correct words for that song were "Jehovah Jirah - my provider, you do the dishes for me, for me, for me"! Of course we know it was supposed to be "Jehovah Jirah - my provider, your grace is sufficent for me, for me, for me". After we stopped laughing, it was a wonderful opportunity to explain to her the real meaning of that song, that God's grace is always sufficient for us". Brace yourself for the years ahead, I'm sure your sweet little Harper will say lots of funny things too that will crack you right up!
I just have to say, I LOVE all the adorable outfits! Thank you for sharing your life and your testimony with all of us.
Great Easter bonnet! Probably more comfy than most...I've enjoyed the focused entries on what God has been and is to you. What a great way to prepare for Easter!
Harper is the cutest thang!!! I mean, seriously!! She is soooooo photogenic. She takes after her mommy! :)
What an adorable little hat!!!! I've thought of Angie often today..my heart just breaks for them.
Harper is too cute this week in her Easter outfits!
Love the Chris Tomlin video...I love this song too on the Hillsong United "United We Stand" CD/DVD!
I found your blog when Harper was so sick...I prayed for you all and absolutely fell in love with your heart for Jesus. Thank you for doing these daily posts - I hope you all have an amazing Easter. Sunshine
Fabulous bonnet! Fabulous old song--Jehovah Jirah, My Provider, his grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me.
Definitely praying for Angie and Todd today...thee first anniversary is so very hard....
Stopping by to let you know I'm here praying!
Psalms 28:1-2 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
