It's a baby!

After many years of praying for another child, my husband and I found out last month that we are expecting a baby in February. 

My husband was beginning to doubt that we would have another baby, but I had peace about the issue and knew that God was going to give us another one...and hopefully before we started drawing Social Security.  Roger claimed he was too old to have a baby.  I reminded him of Sarah and Abraham.  He said "But I am not Abraham."  No, I can attest to that fact and he is only about half as old as Abraham was when Isaac was born.  I never thought I would be having a baby when I was 40 years old but I never thought I would be teaching Sunday school and married to a preacher either.  God has plans for us that we have not even conceived.  There is one thing about it, this baby will be a blessing to our whole little family.  Isabella already kisses the baby goodnight (i.e., my tummy).  She wants to be a big sister so that she can "boss someone else around."  She wants a brother and has already asked "Can we get bunk beds?"  Uh, I told her we should wait until the baby is born first:)

I know most of friends my age have children who are already grown.  I got a late start.  I was too busy traveling and having fun to settle down.  I also knew that I had not met the right guy to settle down with.  God's plans are not ours and I am so glad He has everything in His awesome control.  I am thankful for my life.  It is not "perfect" but God has fulfilled the desires of my heart since I delighted myself in Him.
