Have you ever seen the Disney movie, "Tangled"? Scott and I watched it just before Kiley was born and I have to say, I felt such a connection with the song, "I See the Light". I sobbed the first time I heard it. Now that Kiley is a part of our family, I read the lyrics and I cry even more so! I know, serious mushpot here! Well, listen to the song below and you might see why I feel this song is truly about her and how God placed her in our lives at just the right moment. It was His plan all along and as much as I didn't believe that during many difficult moments on our journey to parenthood, now "I See the Light". Click HERE to listen and see the lyrics:
All that time never even knowing (during all the IUI and IVF Treatments)
Just how blind I've been (how I didn’t listen to God or keep the faith)
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight (Now I am blinking in awe of our precious baby girl.)
Now I'm here, suddenly I see (Now I get it, now I SEE!)
Standing here, it's all so clear (As I look at her and hold her, it’s all so clear.)
I'm where I am meant to be (God had us right where He wanted us.)
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted (The fog of uncertainly and not knowing when)
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new (Every tear shed, every question raised, every disappointment, now makes sense, and it was all worth it!
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted (The world is definitely different now.)
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
All those days chasing down a daydream (to become parents)
All those years living in a blur (failed fertility treatments)
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight (Now Kiley is here, in our arms.)
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you (When I look at Kiley, everything is perfect now.)
Just how blind I've been (how I didn’t listen to God or keep the faith)
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight (Now I am blinking in awe of our precious baby girl.)
Now I'm here, suddenly I see (Now I get it, now I SEE!)
Standing here, it's all so clear (As I look at her and hold her, it’s all so clear.)
I'm where I am meant to be (God had us right where He wanted us.)
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted (The fog of uncertainly and not knowing when)
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new (Every tear shed, every question raised, every disappointment, now makes sense, and it was all worth it!
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted (The world is definitely different now.)
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
All those days chasing down a daydream (to become parents)
All those years living in a blur (failed fertility treatments)
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight (Now Kiley is here, in our arms.)
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you (When I look at Kiley, everything is perfect now.)
The song is beautiful and does seem to be written for you! I smile each time I see pictures of Kiley and I know how much joy she brings to your lives!
