It's a Boy!

God has been doing big things around us (but isn't He always...and we just aren't always looking?)

This past month, JD and I have been amazed, awed and humbled as God has fit together pieces like a jigsaw puzzle...and effortlessly, in only His Way, things have been falling into place.

And to watch God work 
And to watch God move
And to watch God create and knit this family of four into a family of five...
Has been incredible, fascinating and indescribable.

On Easter Sunday, we received a photo of a boy...and life has not been the same since we opened that photo up and looked at his beautiful face.  When I looked in his eyes, I saw my husband's eyes and my oldest daughter's eyes looking back at me.  And now, God has given me such a peace...and I know he is mine, just as I know Taylor and Jenna are mine. 

And, in case I wasn't going to trust myself, God reminded me again through my girls (you gotta love the sense of humor and patience that He has).  I showed each sister the picture separately...so they could each have their own thoughts and opinions and time. 

Big Sis T looked at the picture and asked Is that my brother, Momma?  And I said He could be.  And confidently, as only a six year old child can, she said Yes, I want him to be my brother.

Little Sis J looked at the picture and without asking any questions, simply stated matter-of-factly That's my brother, Mommy. 

God
Is
So
Good.

So now we continue on the journey...waiting to meet our son.  May he know how much he is already loved.
