Babies

Counting down the weeks and days until our newest child arrives. Our due date of January 1st puts us at 11 weeks and 4 days to go...now here's to hoping he comes a couple of weeks early!
I realized last week that I have done an awful lot of complaining and not nearly enough rejoicing that we are adding another child to our family. I have had my doubts and fears but I haven't spent nearly enough time on the joys and happiness that a new baby will bring. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the negative side of things and I am sorry that I have spent so much time complaining about being pregnant and I am going to try to spend these last couple of months enjoying it.
I have a hard time handing things over and letting God be in control of my life, I am trying to make an effort to let go and trust. I know that this works best and it is a daily and sometimes hourly struggle for me to do this, but I am going to try harder.

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope...If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me."
Jeremiah 29:11-13

I know that there is a greater plan for my life than what I can imagine and I pray today that I can let that plan take root and allow God to lead me where He plans and not stop Him from blessing me and my family.
