Just When I Wonder....


if I can do this....

If I can handle 2 more months of little sleep.
If I can keep pace with my girls.
If I can go through yet another labor.
If I can do all the projects and short, unusual seasons of life we have before us in the next year; including 2 moves, 6 wks without my husband, full time school with a newborn...

So as I lay in bed last night, with sharp kicks to my side, pondering these things...
Not knowing my thoughts, Andy suddenly says to me:

"I'm so glad we're having this baby."

And that's all the encouragement I needed.

I value his enthusiasm and zest in life. I've never met someone who can rise above his circumstances so well and FIND the joy of the Lord in all areas. It's hard to complain around someone like that.

I heard a song on the radio last night that had a quote that I love...

"You've never lived till you've lived by faith"

So very, very true.

Let me encourage you by saying you will blink your eyes and your boy will be in your arms. For me the challenges of pregnancy are now a passing memory and they will be for you too soon! Your joy will make it all worthwhile, I know you know that already!
