Zoe Rebecca is Here!

Our little bundle of joy arrived on October 4, 2010. I must say I was humbled a bit because I was so convinced that it was a boy and we ended up having a girl. It was a good reminder that my intuition is not always what I think it is. None the less, I couldn't be happier with the little girl God gave us. My heart is filled with so much gratitude at His awesome kindness that I really don't have words right now to express the joy I feel. I look at her and cannot believe that Ken and I have the privilege of being her daddy and mommy. She was frozen for 10 years as an embryo and now here she is breathing and living in this world. It is still surreal and hard to wrap my mind around. Zoe's life did not come as a surprise to God and He knew of her beginnings and her life story even before the foundations of the world. It gives me a lot of comfort knowing that we serve a sovereign God who ordains each one of our lives and the steps we take. As each of our stories are told, may they continue to point back to our God and Savior.

Grateful for His goodness,
B

Baby Arrives Tomorrow!

This will be the last post before baby arrives, but it certainly isn't the end of this baby's story. I am excited to see God's plan for this baby unfold and to have a front row seat in watching it. God is so good and so kind and I am in awe of how He works all things for His glory and our good. I pray that we will be good stewards of this little life and point him (or her) to the gospel.

Looking forward to meeting you little baby and holding you in my arms,

mommy
