Joel's 1st Birthday

Here's a few pictures form Joel's Birthday party on Thursday night. Our little baby is one!! Just in time to become a big brother! :)

37 Weeks

Our little girl is getting closer and closer to arrival. I have not been feeling well this past week, thinking that it may be sooner than I am ready for! I'm very ready to be not pregnant, but I'm not sure how ready I am to have an infant in my house....in my arms, yes, but not in my house! :) I've had a couple of dreams lately about going into labor and not having a bag packed for the hospital or anything. There are a few things I would still like to get done before she arrives. Things such as: give my boys haircuts, get our van worked on, and attend my baby shower next weekend. But, I know God's timing is perfect and I will rest in knowing that He is ALL-KNOWING and can take care of any and every situation in our lives. 

Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him...Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.  ~ Psalm 62:1, 5

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength...  ~Isaiah 30:15

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ~Matthew 11:28

I am wanting to find rest in Him this week and know that He is God, and I am not. He has the whole world and this "little, bitty baby" in His hands. He is my Confidence, my Strength and my Salvation. He wants what is best for me, even when I do not think it is the best...may I be confident in knowing He "longs to be gracious to [me]" and "rises to show [me] compassion." (Is. 30:18)

Now to go start packing that bag...
