What the Lord is teaching

I have been very slowly working through the Bible. I was reading in Exodus not too long ago. Starting in Exodus chapter 25 Moses is writing about the Tabernacle. The 1st thing that caught my attention was in chapter 25:1-9. The Lord told Moses to tell the people to take a contribution. God had specific details about the contributions- vs 3-7. In the chapters following God had very specific details about how the Tabernacle was to be built. I was reminded that God has very, very specific details for my life. Of course, there are some details He has planned out already that I don't know, but the awesome thing is He has every small detail laid out for my life. One question is - why do I struggle with certain things in my life. Such as this pregnancy. Fear has gripped my heart quite a bit more with this pregnancy. Watching two precious families lose their babies has put me on an emotional roller coaster for a bit. I have been reminded through it all that God is sovereign, and He is in control. He may have chosen us to walk a similar path ("the specific details He has planned out"), I don't know, and if He does I have learned, through watching these families' journey that God is no respecter of persons. He will give us the grace we need for that journey (or any journey He puts us on). There are many things to learn while on the journey. My prayer is that through the suffering/journey that I will be found faithful. I will share more on the lessons later.

The Newest news

Yes you have read his shirt right. He is going to be a big brother. Some of you may know already, but I know there are a few I haven't told yet. I found out when I was about 16 weeks pregnant. I'm now about 26-27 weeks pregnant. The due date is January 4. It could possibly be a Christmas baby. We shall see. We have had an ultrasound done and decided to find out what we are having and it is a boy. Abigail wants a sister, so that is the reason we decided to find out what we were having ahead of time so we could talk to her about it. She accepted it a whole lot better than I ever anticipated, but I really think in the back of her mind there could be a sister after she gets the brother. I said this is it-no more. She is funny. She is still excited about the new baby brother. Jonathan is also.
