Having a baby can be scary!!




"The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."
Proverbs 10:22


We are about to enter our 7th month of pregnancy and are simply amazed at how the time has seemingly flown by... well, okay, that's not the only thing we're simply amazed at, lol!!

We found out a while back that we are expecting a little girl and are very excited!  Even though we were almost sure we were going to have a boy.... :-) 

It's hard to imagine that in about 14 weeks we will be holding our little baby for the first time, Lord willing.  This has brought on an onslaught of sudden responsibility in both of us.  I mean, we are actually going to be parents of a child?  To raise her in the way of the Lord, to teach her His statutes, to play with her and take care of her?  We just got married!  We're still learning the ropes of marriage, of running our own home... and now we're starting a family?!  It definitely has some fears attached to the idea, but I think that's where faith comes into play.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:25 & 26,
  "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"


What have we to fear?  Jesus Himself said that we are much better than the birds of the air, whom the Father feeds and takes care of.  All we must do is trust Him completely and He will do the rest!

Prayers are of course appreciated.  We ask that we are a blessing to others and that we give glory to our heavenly Father up above.

  1. We got pregnant about 6 weeks after our wedding. Becoming parents only makes your marriage stronger and God will be with you as you raise your little blessing. :-)
