Oh Baby!!!
Everywhere I look it seems some lady is expecting or just given birth. I am thankful to God for those blessings of new beginnings and doubly gratefully that I have my two with no plans for more. When I see a little one, I just want to pick them up and soak up that amazin miracle. They just amaze me... How we start out so small and dependent. Then they growup to carry on the cycle of life, too. I gladly give them back but I like my turn too.
I have yet to meet my newest member of my family but my longings will be satisfied before to long I am sure. Introducing my new nephew!!!
WHAT A CUTEY!!!!
After a much shorter than her prior kids but still and always painfull labor, my sis brought her 7lb 7oz 20" long baby boy into the world Friday, 22nd of January. My sis' bday was the 25th and she told me that the greatest gift was having him in her arms and not her belly. My youngest son happen to have fallen right before my big day as well. The simularity in our children and life are quit interesting. My oldest is so much like my sister (when she was a little girl)at times I swear God is punishing me for being so mean and for mistreating her all those years. Her newest addition favors his Aunt and Grammy.. Dark hair and dark eyes... My youngest and her middle seem to have the quarkiest attitudes. Mine is some what more agreesive but they both definitely have a personality of their own. They can be very funny. Both of our Hubbys are coaches and teach science at the same grade levels but are worlds apart.
I am so greatful for the blessings in my life-TRULY! Although I am still seperated from my family, and "running for the border" often then not, I have much to be thankful about. I have been working out as well and managed to keep at it for some time now. God has helped me lose about 6lbs or so and I can't wait to lose more. I gotten to were I greatly enjoy the time and when it's with my SISTAS, it is double my pleasure. The little childrens choir has been going nicely. I and them are beginning to understand each other. They are learning a great deal and we are having a great time doing it.
Well now on to the future thoughts and dates. Many events and things loom on the horizon of this year but I am doing my best to live life to the fullest each week. While I have been away from my family, I have altered my daily schedule to reflect the needs and responsiblities of our situation. Granted my spouse still carries on with the most important of all, our CHILDREN, but I too have my own. Support from our family and friends has kept us going and the Lord keeps us strong. Thank you to all those that continue to pray for us!!! The strength of prayers goes a long ways... I have learned this month of many that are going thru hard times, from Cancer to early/undeveloped pregnancies!!! These situation continue to remind me that there is always someone worst off then me and all we can do it pray for them and thank God for our blessings and fortune. Continue to encourage each other in life and bring a smile even in the hardest of times. Laughter can bring joy and God proved the moment... Have you thanked Him today?!?!
****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)
