This is the cream in the middle of an Oreo cookie!
Morning sickness has completely faded. My stomach is not big enough to be uncomfortable . . . yet. :-)
Luke and I are continually thankful for this little life that we have been entrusted with.
. . . I find it so easy to think of this baby as being "mine." And in my pride, I have all kinds of ideas of what my children are and are not going to do. (In reality, I have had those ideals for a super long time!) But during those evenings where Luke and I stay up late talking about Scripture and raising children it becomes more and more clear to me that if my children do grow to love the LORD it will be in spite of me . . . not because of me. I am merely entrusted for a time with a life that God has a sovereign purpose for. The blessing and responsibility leaves me humbled and on my knees before Him - asking Him for wisdom and grace.

If you feel humbled by this great gift & responsibility now, just wait until your children are grown. Dad & I are always in constant amazement of how gracious and sufficient our LORD is. You and your brothers are living proof of HIS faithfulness & love.
