I will sing to the Lord because He has dealt bountifully with me.
Ps. 32:6
Today is my 32nd (ekkk) birthday and I want to share the gift I'm holding precious today. It's the new life of another baby! Our family is praising Him and cherishing what He's given.
Thank you for your prayers!
Please continue.
The realization that this baby is not mine is very real to me. Along with that comes fears and a bit of anxiety. But it is also just the right place to be with this little one, with Daisy, with my miscarriage a few years ago, and with my 3 active, healthy children. None of them are mine. I don't deserve to keep them and the Lord's plan for each life is wonderful. My hope can lie in nothing else than Him. He is enough.
This baby is due the same week we lost Daisy. The first week of January.

What great news!!! How neat of the Lord to arrange it so that their birthdays will be so close to each other... He is so good to bless us in ways we never could have imagined. :) My little Sophie was born just a few days before the first anniversary of my Dad's death. It was a gift of joy from the Lord in a time of great sorrow. I will forever be thankful for that.
Yes... great news, Jenica~ Will pray for you throughout. Wonderful to hear:)
Oh and Happy Happy Birthday!
happy birthday and congratulations on this wonderful baby news! Praise the Lord!
Jenica, He has dealt bountifully! We are so very very thankful for this new life and we praise Him for it. We will continue to pray for all of you, that your mind will be stayed on Him.
Love you all so much!
Oh, Jenica I am SO happy! What wonderful news!!! I will definitely continue to pray. Your attitude has been so beautiful throughout, giving glory to our heavenly Father.

Happy birthday! I hope you have a lovely day. I am thrilled to read your announcement. Thank you for the reminder...they all belong to our heavenly
Father who created, loves, protects, and holds them. Love you!!!
oh what wonderful news! Jenica, what a happy birthday!
I will be praying for you, as you walk this road. Such a precious time! But I can understand the anxiety too... when we lost a little one, the due date would have been the first week of January too. But I also have a living child born that same week, and so it is a reminder that they are all His and not mine at all...makes me teary to think about, but there is just so much peace too. I know you know.
Love and prayers...
Happy Happy Birthday and congrats on your new pregnancy! We are so thrilled for you. Blessings.
