We've spent many summer days working on our house. Remodeling always takes much more work than anticipated, but we are happy with our progress. We still have many projects ahead of us and things that we would like to do, but we are living in our home and looking forward to many traditions and memories we will make here. I'm realizing more and more that life is just one project after another. It keeps things interesting.
We found out that our third child will be another precious GIRL! Brad and I are both so thrilled. Noah knew it all along. He called the 'it' his baby sister from day one and I should have known better than to doubt the innocence of my child who hears from the Lord.
To answer your question: she does NOT have a name yet. And she may not until she arrives. We feel no urgency to give her a name and will just wait to hear from the Lord. Plus, I'll just add it to my list of things that need to be done before the baby arrives. It's growing by the day. My list, that is. And myself, if we are going to get technical.
We have traveled some and Brad and I spent a great week of spiritual retreat together. My hubby took a new position at our church, so he has been learning the ropes of the college/young adult ministry and transitioning into an exciting role.
Overall, this summer has been one of transition. I've learned several hard lessons through the clashing of my planned personality and the all of the unexpected, unplanned days that this summer held. I have began to weed out all of the non-essentials in my life in order to focus on and devote more time to the things that mean the most to me and I have seen how God meets not only the needs, but also the desires of the hearts of his people. He has shown that to me through my own life and his goodness poured out. Yet I have also realized, now more than ever, how undeserving I am of anything good. It truly is... amazing grace.
