Learning to live for HIS glory

Happy Thursday, friends!  The last two weeks have been a crazy blur As we've welcomed little Hudson Luke into our family. He is such a precious gift from God, And we are thankful! As I think back over those weeks these are some of the things that stand out As blessings to praise the Lord for: A quick and safe home delivery, An awesome birth team, Who were consistently pointing me to Jesus, And praying as we worked together  To bring this little guy into the world. A healthy screaming baby... We had no doubt he was alive and well  In those first few moments after delivery! Answered prayer.  There was just so much of that surrounding the birth of our son. It encourages my heart as I begin this new leg of life's adventure. Carl. He is such a good daddy to Hudson and husband to me! I'm grateful we get to walk this journey of life together, Grateful for his patience, His love, And his encouragement! An extreme...

Happy Thursday all! Today as I count my blessings, These are the things I'm praising God for: Two months till Little Buddy is due, A good report from my midwife. Two years of marriage to my sweetheart, Time to spend together on a date tonight! Too many gifts to count, The generosity of others as we prepare to welcome our child. Also.... Music, Books, Time to read, Sleep, Yarn creations, Laundry machines, A Kitchen to cook in, A Dining Room to eat in, A Living Room to sit in, A Library/Nursery to get ready for baby in, A Bedroom to sleep in, A Garden to grow things in. God's Word, His Goodness, His Faithfulness, His Mercy, His Teaching, His Love. His Justice met at the cross.

My heart is full today as I count my blessings... We had an ultrasound done this morning, And got to see a beautiful little baby boy- A strong heartbeat, Perfect fingers and toes... God is an awesome Creator. I am thankful.   And I suppose I am more thankful for this life- Simply because I've lost a child. Children are a miracle,  From conception to the day they're born, and beyond. So today, even as we rejoice in our little buddy that will soon make our family a threesome, We also remember that we really are four.   And in God's perfect sovereignty, He chose to take our first little one, But this little guy He has chosen to protect thus far. We're grateful. And in awe of His awesome power. Life is precious,  Both lives lost and lives gained. Motherhood is a gift- And also a challenge... And although my journey to motherhood has not happened the way I thought it would, I'm thankful to be a Mommy,  ...
