I am feeling extremely joyful. I see the Lord's hand in our lives. It just started out a great day. It is dark and dismal outside, raining so hard the DOGS won't even go out in it, but it was just a great morning! Might have something to do with the kids sleeping until 6:30.
Might have something to do with precious baby skin and smiles and how happy and sweet to each other they are today.
Might have something to do with feeling good about choices we've made, including the Lord in all we do, and that Garrett passed his EMT exam! Hearing the happiness in his voice makes me want to jump up and down.
Might have something to do with how great I am feeling this pregnancy and with how excited I am for... we decided on a first name... Annabel!
"Starlynn, Launa and Annabel" Wow... three little girls. I have been imagining little future "snapshots in time" as they grow up and I feel so blessed to parent them with Garrett and I am looking forward to every up and down and to get to know each of them uniquely as they grow.
I have a testimony that when we have a broken heart, contrite spirit and are truly LIVING the gospel of Jesus Christ that no matter what is going on in your life, you can feel peaceful, joyful and know that the Lord is mindful of you.
You are inspiring Leslie! And congrats to your husband!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tasha. I read your blog about your trials too and I know it's hard when people tell you "you're strong" when you feel anything but, but I do believe that everything comes in "seasons". Seasons of famine, seasons of feast. Look ahead to the days not to far ahead where you can look back on your time in Buff. and see how strong they made you and mostly, how much you'll appreciate the good times! :-) thanks for writing so we can all share with each other and gain strength! I can't believe how much you've been through!
