False Labor & Star Wars

Yesterday morning at 7am, after a long night of contractions, Nate & I spent 5 hours at the hospital. I had a nice time watching movies. Ha! 35 weeks & this baby needs to stay in a little longer. Something that perplexes me is no matter how many kids I have delivered I still second guess if I’m actually in labor. So, this time, again, I’m asking Jesus to make it very clear. Like, maybe my water could break?! Hehe!

After the hospital we enjoyed the new Star Wars movie and Arby’s and some errands!

Now, we wait expectantly for baby to join us! He’ll come on time, when he’s ready! We’re excited for his arrival!

Thank you, Jesus...I really can’t say thank you enough. I’ve been on the other side of pregnancy with much difficulty & I’m so thankful for every day that I feel good! In May I was sick in bed with Strep throat and in a prayer conversation with the Lord felt that I heard Him tell me why I was hesitant to have any more kids. “It’s because you don’t trust me.” When I came to term with the truth of that statement, I was ready for another baby. There were so many different levels of fear in this area that I had to surrender to Jesus. What about my horrible hormones, the lack of energy due to exhaustion & weight gain, Sciatica problems, what about finances, a new van? Th...

Quote of the Week

On Sunday afternoon I had the kids doing some chores to get ready to leave for Arizona. Zeke, my eight year old, said to me, “Mom, could you write down a list for me so that I can cross things off?” Haha! I love it, a child after my own heart. Our, at least another one that I’ve passed my sickness down to! Thank you, Jesus, for these glimpses that you’re helping me raise my kids to be competent adults. Momming with Sparkle, Heather

Your Life Verse

With each of our children we prayed over what we would name them. Nate gave me very specific guidelines for the names of our children- biblical, Hebrew, Old Testament. Yikes! It seemed like such a huge task, but, I believe that God led us to the perfect name for each child. I have asked that the Lord would give me life verses to pray for my kids that go along with each of their names. Isaiah- Jehovah has saved Isaiah 6:6-8- Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.” Isaiah at PMBC this summer throwing a ratchet Moriah- God is my teacher, the place where God is worshiped. “This is what the Lord says: Because you have...
