So Close

We are so close to the summer being over and for me that is always bitter-sweet. I so enjoy being off for the summer and being home with my family, but I also enjoy getting back to work and getting some routine back in our lives. The boys are so out of whack during the summer - staying up until all hours of the night and sleeping until all hours of the day. This has been an eventful summer with one major thing to look forward to. I know it was such a shock to find out I was pregnant, but as the shock has worn off the excitement has begun to settle in. We are all praying pink, but most importantly praying for a healthy baby - no matter what the gender.

I've learned alot over the past month. First of all God is awesome in his timing- even if it isn't what we had planned. Secondly, God is always in control. I had such hard pregnancies with Nate and Jacob - in bed for 7 months and 2 months and stressed out all the time. However, I had been praying that God would make this one different and that things would be okay, but I was praying faithlessly just knowing that I would be lucky to have a good pregnancy. Then Travis preached on walking in eitheir by consequences of our actions, by fate or by faith and I knew then and there that God was telling me to pray faithfully and with the faith that he would take care of it all. I did that finally. I asked God to take care of this one and make it different and to date he has been faithful to his word as he always is. So far everything is going good (despite the morning (all day) sickness), and I have complete faith that it will continue to be great. I beleive that because I believe in an awesome, faithful and merciful God. After all, even with all the complications the first 2 times look at what blessings he gave me then. This will be no different. I look forward to meeting our new little one and seeing what God has in store for us this time around.

God bless all of you and I pray that you all will walk in faith knowing that God is in control.
