Well, I realize that it has been 2 months and 2 days since my last post. Yikes!
Truly, Thanksgiving and then Christmas just took over my time! I haven't felt so good either. Ha ha...there is a reason for that. Most likely in August 2009 we will be welcoming a new little one into our home. Yes, I am expecting my fourth child. It has been such a fun journey to this moment. My kids have been praying and asking for a new sibling for the past three years. Personally, I really thought that God has closed my womb. Then here we are...pregnant!
It is so like the Lord to give you a surprise, to be just like who He is- a loving parent who enjoys giving good gifts to his children. I am so thankful to Him for this baby growing inside me.
This past Sunday we had a lady come to speak from the local Women's Center (an alternative safe place that gives options to pregnant girls, options other than abortion!). She read to us from Psalm 139. As I was listening it just struck me that at this very moment my baby's "delicate, inner parts" were being formed,and he or she was being knit together in my womb. The verse that really just captured my heart was verse 16, "You saw me before I was born. Everyday of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day passed." Isn't this incredible? My child hasn't even started life outside of forming and being made yet God has fully and completely recorded the future for him or her. How good is my God.
This is what gives me the trust that I have in him. He knows me, he knows my child, he has us in his hands. I encourage to read through Psalm 139:1-18, it is so encouraging.
Same. But different.
