Life sure is busy these days! I am always checking others' blogs but have not found the time to update ours! In a nutshell, we are in the midst of home remodeling. We tore out the linoleum and csrpet and had the concrete stained last week. We are now the happy owners of stained concrete! That has been a big undertaking and we had to move EVERYTHING we own that touches the floor into the garage. We are truly thankful and appreciative to our dear friends, the Chadwicks, for opening their home to us while our floors were worked on. Staying at Hotel Chadwick has been a blessing to us. While the house is empty, we are taking advantage of that and are in the process of redoing ALL the baseboards in the house and painting. Jadyn's getting a new room so her little brother can move into her old room (since it's painted neutral). Jadyn's girly room should be done with painting by the end of this week so we can start moving her things in. :) We are also doing touch up painting around the house where needed. Oh, and the dust MESS that was left behind from having the top layer of concrete ground off!!! I'll be cleaning concrete dust off of things for MONTHS!!! Whew! But, praise the Lord that we can do all this and get it done. It should look really good when it's all finished.
I'm almost 6 months along in my pregnancy. Time is flying as life keeps us very busy. So, four months away from having a son to hold and 4 months away from being a stay-at-home mommy.
Prayer requests and praise reports:
Please pray for our dear friends, Curt and Mandy, who just learned of the miscarriage of their second child. Praise the Lord that He is in control and knows all things. Please pray for Mandy's body to heal quickly and the miscarriage process to be as painless as possible. Praise the Lord that He is the God of all comfort.
Praise the Lord for the pregnancy of our friends, The Murphy's! Kelly's in her first trimester and baby Murphy #1 is on it's way! Pray for a safe, healthy, and uncomplicated pregnancy for Kelly.
Please pray for our unborn baby boy that the pregnancy will continue to go smoothly and without complication. Pray that at the end of June we will be able to welcome a healthy baby boy into the world. It's our prayer that the Lord's will be done and Him be glorified. Everyday, Jay and I pray for a happy, healthy, whole, beautiful, and smart son. You know, when you look around you and you watch those closest to you go through the heartache of losing their child(ren), your heart breaks, and you realize what a true miracle life is and to be able to go full-term and deliver a healthy baby is an amazing miracle that God alone do. He is the giver and author of life. I thank the Lord for the opportunity to carry this second child and can only believe and trust in the Lord that all will continue to go smoothly for the rest of the pregnancy.
And I praise the Lord for each of you. You are invaluable and precious to me.
I love you all.
Good night.
