Three weeks early! What a surprise for Momma and Papa. We were all a bit worried but Dr. Music said, “no problem, this baby is going to be born today.” Sure enough, they even let me go home the next day! Many people prayed for me, that is why my name is Eliana. The verses that I remind my parents of are Proverbs 3:5-6:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will direct your paths.”
