I've got a little bump with some BIG news!


We are going to have a baby! The addition will be here the beginning of May. These munch-kins couldn't be more giddy about the news. The same goes for the parents!
After many many prayers (by young and old) over the past couple years we are humbled that the Lord has answered our desire for more children. And when His timing was questioned, it also brought pruning and gratitude that would be found in no other avenue than His plan for our family. This addition He is lending us is sweeter because of our tears, but more than anything we are thankful to be able to trust a wise Builder.
"Unless the Lord builds this house, we labor in vain who build it." Ps.127:1

Hooray!

Yay!!! Such great news! We are more than thrilled for you guys!

I love that line you wrote, "This addition He is lending us..." that is so true isn't it...the Lord is simply allowing us to raise these precious children for a short while.

Blessings to you all and prayers for the months ahead. Hope you are feeling okay, and do you already know if it is just one? :)

Jenica - we are so excited for you guys! Praise the Lord for His perfect timing and sovereignty over these details!

I know just what you mean about the news being sweeter because of the tears - have been there myself, and it is a very precious time, when you discover new life after waiting and praying.

I'll be praying for you!

I'm so very excited, Mrs. Moffit! And seeing Leyla and Chloe's smiling faces and exciting news of being "big sisters" was such an enjoyable time!

Blessings and prayers as you await your fourth blessing from the Lord!
