Those who plant in tears will harvest SHOUTS OF JOY. They weep as they plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the HARVEST.

That Season Again

The past 7 or 8 weeks have been pretty long and drawn out for me lately. My oldest daughter has really stepped up to the plate and taken over with running the house which I am very thankful for. The Lord is showing me again to not worry about the little things for he takes care of everything. I sometimes think how will I school everyone, get all the chores done, do the laundry, etc... Then I feel a gentle tap on the shoulder and He tells me I am in control trust me and let me guide you through this season of your life. You ask, "What season?" Pregnancy season. Yes we are expecting again and excited to bring another child in this world to glorify and honour God. I saw the midwife on Saturday and heard the little one's heartbeat and looked up at her, and said," Well it's official I guess we really are going to have a baby." I think that is the day it really sunk in that I was carrying a child. It is so amazing to hear the beating of the heart of your unborn child. As I write this I look at my oldest daughter as she makes breakfast for everyone and I am amazed at who she has become in her short 12 years. It gives me great excitement to know that I will be given the opportunity to raise up another child to love the Lord.

I am SO excited for you and your family! The Lord has exceedingly blessed you and don't, for one minute, take for granted that you have the ability to raise up the full quiver that He has in store for you! Whether it be 8 or 12 (or more) - God is in control!
