Good Good News...

Well I have really great news. Kind of fantastic news…..7 weeks ago we took another pregnancy test. To my surprise, shock and unbelief (I was 100% sure I was NOT pregnant)…. it was positive. This time the test meant nothing. Blake and I both knew we had to make it through a lot of blood tests and make it past the date when we lost the baby last time. Let me tell you, I was fearful! My closest friends would tell you I’ve been in denial for some time now. My walls immediately went up and instead of jumping for joy-I held on for dear life.

We are now a little over 11 weeks pregnant (the baby is the size of a lime) and I think I’m beginning to believe it might just be true. We might actually meet this little one in May. Please continue to pray with us for this little one. Now, my desire when announcing this is for people (myself included) to not forget what the Lord has also done over the last 2 years. YES-I am so very THANKFUL at this moment for the little life he is fearfully and wonderfully creating. I am also thankful for his faithfulness while I walked through what I believed to be a valley.

Below is a Psalm the Lord gave me a few weeks back. I think it perfectly sums up the last two years. Thank you Lord for the gift you have given us and thank you Lord for all the many gifts along the way. *Thank you friends/family for hanging in with us, praying continually and supporting us, I love you.*


Psalm 103: 1-5

Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.


Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-


who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,


who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,


who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

*Please do NOT post this on facebook. Also, to anyone who may be on staff with me reading this….I will tell this coming week, if not- kick me :)

You are right. We do not for one minute want to forget what the Lord has done over the past 2 years. His mercies are new every morning. Blessings for you and Blake and Little Lime!
