Today Is A Day Of Celebration....

I must start by saying that I am so thankful for another baby. God entrust us with His children. We have the privilege of loving them and sharing the gospel with them. We are created in His image to love Him and enjoy Him forever.

At my 15 week ultrasound, my doctor said that it appeared that we were having another girl. We are excited no matter the gender of the baby. So, adding another girl to our family is a blessing. We went home so thankful that baby is healthy and so thankful He blessed us with another baby. (and everything stays pink)

HANG ON.......

So, I went just this week to my 20 week ultrasound and saw something that I have never seen on an ultrasound before. A BOY!!! A BOY!!! A BOY!!!

Deep down in my heart, I just did not think the doctor was right at my 15 week ultrasound! I just kept thinking boy, a son that I have always dreamt of. And there he was right before my eyes. My own precious son. Words cannot even describe the joy that has filled my heart. I can hardly wait to lay my eyes on him.

I have been praying for another child if it was the Lord's will for us to bear another child. I had been praying for names way before my 15 week ultrasound. I want to be on the same page as my Lord. He named my child and I wanted to be sure I listened to Him with my heart to give my child the name He had already chosen.

With that said, I was driving my girls to ballet, when the name Stone was placed on my heart. I had never heard of Stone. So, as soon as I dropped the girls off, I pulled up the Bible on my iPhone and started researching the name Stone. What does this name mean? I was brought to the book of Joshua Chapter 4.

When God saved His people and brought them over the Jordan River, they were to make a memorial of 12 stones, one from each tribe. Joshua told his people that when your children ask what do these stones mean, you will tell them v.24 " that the people of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever."

Our God is mighty indeed! Having miscarried this Spring and bleeding for four weeks this pregnancy, God kept His child safe! The hand of our Lord was with this child and forever will I fear Him. I will always remember the work of our Lord through this pregnancy and the AMAZING, WONDERFUL SURPRISE He gave to us.

I can't wait to meet Stone, the little boy God chose for our family!

I am so thankful.....................and I get to add BLUE to our family!!!

Announcements...Announcements...

We are thrilled and blessed to announce we are expecting our sixth little bundle of joy. I believe we are just as excited about this pregnancy as we were for our first.
We have had a rough roller coaster this year. You never know what the day holds when you wake up! God is in control of each day and we were made to honor and glorify Him forever. We found out in February of this year that we were expecting our fifth baby this Christmas. At about eight weeks into our pregnancy, I started bleeding and miscarried our little baby. We were devastated but trusted in the Lord for His goodness. You never understand the "why" but you do have to understand to "trust". And that is what we did.
We took time to heal and prepare my body again for another possible pregnancy. In July, we found out we were expecting our sixth baby. We know just how precious life is and how easy it can be taken away. We are so thankful that the Lord gave us another baby. He chose us again to entrust us with His child. At about six weeks into my pregnancy, I again experienced bleeding. I cannot go through this again! But, again, there is nothing that I can physically do. It is not in my hands. He is the giver and taker of life. I know that all I can do is trust and pray for this new life growing inside of me. I went to the doctor, and baby is great! I bleed for four weeks and continue to go to the doctor each week to peek at the baby to only see that the baby is continuing to grow and is perfect. God is good! He protected His child. I am now almost 20 weeks and I am doing great! If it is the Lord's will, we will welcome a new baby GIRL this Spring. A GIRL!!!! Did you read right??? We now will be blessed with FIVE GIRLS!!! God has some special plans for our family! We can hardly wait to hold our blessing and welcome her into a house full of joy!
