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!!!
