He bestows many blessings to His children. His faithfulness is complete and perfect. Since the beginning of Creation He knew the plans for each one of us. Our destiny is prewritten and He knows all which will come. So why do I struggle? Why do I have fear of what is to come when I know the Lord is faithful. He has always been so good to us in the past, so He will continue to be in the future. Feelings of sadness are normal after a family member comes for a visit. My sister spent the whole week here and it went by way to fast. I am mad at myself for not taking more time to spend with her. She did get a whole lot of love from Avery while she was here so that went well. Avery is getting so big, and her vocabulary is amazing. She also does tend to pick up on words like when Aunt Diane uses the terms “fricken cold.” And other such. She has learned however from school not to say stupid or other mean words, so it’s kind of funny to hear her talk. As far as the cold goes, we all hope it will go away soon. Spring would be nice so we can get back to getting outdoors and enjoying fresh air. Avery loves to play outside and I for one would enjoy getting out as well. Hopefully winter will not last much longer as we move into March next week.

When I consider how long we have prayed for and waited for a baby, the news of the new ones should not be a surprise. How could it be? Still there is that shock and awe which leaves us breathless and a tad bit nervous. But Pastor Don reminded me the Lord has a plan for His kingdom and needs them for it. And Avery will have her hands full, as will I and Holly.
My sister is pretty busy with her own twins, and my mom keeps helping her day after day. Wish we had someone here who could help us out in the same way. But really there is no one who can. Don’t know what we will do but the Lord does provide. Perhaps as it gets closer things will make more sense. Hopefully the morning sickness goes away soon too, I do not remember it being this hard with Avery.

Every day I pray and I wait, thanking the Lord for His blessing. Also asking Him for His guidance for the coming years, I pray. It is going to work out because the Lord is in control, and He knows. So hopefully we will get the help we need in return. And as we continue on He will strengthen us where and when we need Him.
