this is not a rough draft.

I did not literally fall off the ends of the earth, but I certainly did figuratively. On A's birthday back in March, we got our own little present.

This.




I forgot the disruption such a tiny thing can do to a mother's life--my normal schedule is out, cooking is a long lost pipe dream, and naps are a necessity. I am four months tomorrow, but still feeling like I'm in the first trimester. We do get to find out what we're having next month, and I can't wait!

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!

Ephesians 3:20-21, The Message
