Life

Lots of things on my heart this morning...many things on my mind...but mainly, just reminding myself that His ways are higher than mine. Preparing for this HUGE blessing in our lives (baby Powell) ...it's really made us take a look at everything from a closer angle and evaluate: "Is this how we want to live; are we being who we want to be; what do we want our family's future to look like?". One thing's for sure, if you let it get to your head, it can completely overwhelm you with fear. I am determined to trust that God's timing was and is still perfect, His blessings are secure and that we are safe in His care. I'm thankful for all He's given us and all that the future holds...what a blessing to call a child our own and to know that the Lord himself knew that child before they were ever formed and gave it a purpose. Thank you Lord, you are the author and finisher of our faith! Help us to live lives that honor You and are worthy of Your call....Your ways are HIGHER than ours...

It's A.....??




Well, we had our ultrasound yesterday... and they couldn't see very much! However, the tech took a guess and said that in her opinion... though it's yet to be confirmed...we're expecting a baby girl! :) So...in 3 weeks we're heading back to the doc's in hopes of confirming our baby's sex. No matter who you turn out to be, lil baby, we already LOVE you!

Almost 20 weeks and counting!

We cannot believe that we are almost 20 weeks pregnant! Monday (1/5) we're finding out the sex of our little one...though many people, including us, are betting on a boy, we will be thrilled with the outcome either way! Stay tuned and welcome to our expanding family blog! :)
