Dancing in the rain

It has been months sense my last post... and so much has changed! Now where to even begin.

First off, to our great joy we our pregnant again!! We have always wanted our children to be close in age, and I have always wanted them to be exactly 18 months apart. So, one day we decided that we ready to start trying for baby number two! This was in May, the first week of June I started testing even before I missed my period just because I couldn't stand to wait, haha. To my disappointment I had three negative tests before I finally had two positives!!! I immediately bought a pair of boy pj's that I loved sure I was having a son!  I am now almost 18 weeks along and just found out last week we are expecting a little boy due on my Mother's Birthday on Feb. 3rd. 2013 making our children just barely 18 months apart!

I have learned so much these past few years, God is so good!! Becoming a parent has been the greatest blessing, I love my daughter and my unborn son so much! I love my husband who is so good to us all and loves God so much. His heart is so good and full of love, I am so blessed to have a husband who I can go thru struggles with. One who is so patient when I get so angry and question God, I never see my husband question His goodness no matter the struggle and I am just so glad to have him to keep me accountable with my relationship with the Lord. We have definitely shared tears and stresses but God has never failed us. Not once. I wouldn't change anything in our lives right now. I know God has a reason for every season we go thru, and if all I learn is to trust and be content that is more then enough. Riches and glory will get us no where, nothing can buy eternal life, nothing can take the place of a walk with Jesus. His Presence is more then enough for me.

My beautiful daughter is now 13 months, the time flies so fast! She is such a joy, learning new words everyday and growing into her own person, I just love her so much! She has started mimicking like crazy which just is a constant reminder of how I need to show her love and watch my words and attitude constantly. I want her to always know the Presence of God and how to walk with love towards everyone. I think I learn far more being a parent then I teach this little one.

Sense the day we found out the sex of our son we have literally been hit on every side. Financially, emotionally, everything seems to come smashing down on all sides. This time I recognize this tho, and I am even more thankful for our son, our lives, and my God. Everything that can be shaken will, this time I just look up to my wonderful King and know His plans are good, that He always provides and that now is a time to draw closer to Him because at the end of every struggle is good.

I live such a blessed life :).
