About 6 or 7 years ago one of my very best friends bought me a hat… and a dress. A lovely dress that didn’t fit, lol. It seemed to have a good spot to put a belly, specifically a baby belly, which I didn’t have nor did I truly believe I ever would.
During the time I received this little gem I was coming out of one of the darkest seasons I’d ever encountered, and it took enough strength to have faith I would survive that season, let alone gear up more hope to believe for marriage and children.
I made up in my mind that one day I would get to wear that dress and fill it with a baby belly.
The amazing thing is that instead of her saying to take it back or exchange it, she said save it and put it in my Dream Box — I’ll explain more regarding the box at another time — and so I did. As a step of faith, I put that dress in this tiny box another amazing friend had created for me, and I made up in my mind that one day I would get to wear that dress and fill it with a baby belly.
Fast forward YEARS later and there’s a wedding I have to attend at a place that reminds me of pain (see new memories post) and I had nothing to wear because nothing fit. And then I remembered my gem.
My dress.
The dress I put away in faith to one day wear was now the dress that fit perfectly over my belly, my baby belly, standing beside my husband at a place that now no longer brought me pain.
There is power in faith, and hope and prayer. No one can tell me otherwise and I believe that also applies to you.
