I am glad I waited on the expense because things come up. Surprises lurk around the corner. Life happens.
My year has made some changes I did not expect. My busy spring will be scaled back and the week long vacation I was planning with Devin to San Francisco has been canceled.
Just when I think I have everything planned out and figured out, God shows me His plans, His will be done.
Just when thought we would remain a family with 7 kids, I find out there will be an 8th.
Believe me when I say this was a surprise and a miracle at the same time, a work of Providential proportions.
I am sick and hungry at the same time, feelings I have had with all my babies. I am exhausted tired by noon, and I am excited and grateful for this new gift.
We are all very happy.
Baby #8 will appear earth side around early to mid May.
Happy Wednesday Ya'll!
