A Family of Five for a Time

For the first time in my life, I am afraid that I am going to cry the minute I see a child. Just totally break down. Not something I am prone to do. But it is sitting on the surface today. Now that you are intrigued... We are again a family of five. And this child is special - one we have prayed for over and over time and again for many, many months. Welcome to our home baby girl. May we be a source of peace and joy and comfort and blessing to you. May you always know love. May you see the joy of Jesus and learn to know Him. May we be a family to you no matter where you roam. We love you already. And we are so glad you are home!

Yes, this was not in OUR plans, but it was in God's plans. Sometimes His timing is not ours. But this is giving us a time to be totally dependent on Him. Having 3 kids 3 and under is a bit of a challenge, for sure. But I know that God equips those He calls. So off we go on another remarkable journey.

Thank you for praying for us. Many specific things - for the transition for ALL the kiddos, mine included - it's a big change. Love and patience to be obviously displayed for my husband and I as parents. Good health for all of us. Good sleep for all of us. Calmness in the midst of change and extra duties. Ability to find time for me to get my "day job" done and my house chores and laundry, ect.

Crazy times for sure! This Thanksgiving we have three little blessings to be thankful for!
