I stand in awe

As my hand is placed on my belly with my growing child inside, he kicks and twists and wiggles, I watch my hand move up and down. Maybe you've experienced it before and know how I feel. Maybe you haven't, but you might one day. I appreciate this more now, pregnancy that is. Because we lost two babies, my eyes have been opened. I realize what a precious gift it is to grow a baby. To carry a life inside of my body. What a beautiful miracle it is. It causes me to think of my Maker and how He made us by hand. He knit us together in our mothers womb, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I stand in awe. I am amazed at the work of His hands, and I praise Him. I praise Him because He is good, and all that He does is wonderful. 

(Psalm 39:14, Psalm 139:13, Psalm 135:3)

I'll be posting a testimony blog here shortly, it's in the works. Who knew that it would take prayer, tears and lots of thought to work up one post? There's so many details to weed through and I want it to be just right. Either way the glory goes to God!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello there!

   Well hello! Man, it's been a while since the last time I posted. So much has happened and I will try my best to fill you in. The past few months have been extremely busy and jam packed. 

 

  I almost don't know where to start, wait never mind of course I do! I'm pregnant! Yes, 30 weeks today in fact! Oh and he's a boy, yes a little boy will be added to our family in June! Baby Manzi is what I've been calling him, also little fox and Justin calls him Boy! He rubs my belly and says, "Hey Boy!" All the time. We're not telling people the name yet, which I also realize is something that is SO hard to keep quiet. We want to tell the whole world! But I'm stubborn...and we agreed not to tell, so I'm not letting Justin tell anyone. (Am I mean?) Haha, oh well!

    

   The past 7 months have been such a joy. They've been such a blessing to my life. It's truly flown by, which is something I'm thankful for. I'm also thankful for such an incredible and easy pregnancy. God has richly blessed us and I'll be posting here soon about what a miracle this little fox is. God answered our prayers. He took our pain and He replaced it with joy! We are grateful for His grace and faithfulness that He has showered upon us. He did a miracle for us and He can do one for you too.

   

   In other recent events, we finally got a church building! We had our first service exactly a month after we received the keys. We had to remodel the entire inside of the building, tear down walls, rip out carpet and lanolium, build new walls, texture, sand, paint and lay the new carpet. That's what we did in a nut shell but I'm telling you, I have so much respect for people who do this on a regular basis. I also have a ton of respect for my husband, he's a machine! He was there every single day for a month (except on Sunday's) he even went on Christmas Day to work on that building (he's crazy! Don't worry, he wasn't there for long!) We had multiple churches from around the area come and help us, we also had some help come all the way from Prescott which was amazing! 

   

   There's no way on earth that I would be able to share everything that's gone on, but I will say this: God is helping us! 

  

    Now hopefully I'll be a little more consistent with my posts. Thanks for stopping by! 

 

  Oh and here's some pictures

Our precious miracle!

Our growing church!
