I [Steph] read two interesting quotes recently that I’d like to share with you. The first is by Ruth Bell Graham. She says; “as a mother, my job is to take care of what is possible and trust God with the impossible.” The second is by a man named Kin Hubbard and goes something like this; "The worst feature of a new baby is its mother's singing." I’m happy to announce that both of these quotes now apply to my life, and that while at least in my case the second quote might be just as true as the first!
Yes, God has blessed Ryan and I with our first little bundle of joy! We are due the first week of October. It’s hard to believe that soon our family pictures will include one more! I can’t begin to tell you how excited we are to have this precious gift from God! Maybe you caught on to this high level of excitement by the excessive amount of exclamation points in these first two paragraphs!
As we begin to make room in our house and our lives for this precious new addition we are continually awed by God’s love and provision for us and for our new baby. Please join us in praying and thanking God for this great gift; and also please pray for Ryan and I and for the baby. That we would have faith and wisdom in parenting and that our little one would be healthy and would come to know Jesus early in life! Thank you for these and all of your prayers, we appreciate you so much!
