Our Big News!!!


We are so happy to announce that we received some surprising and wonderful news last week.

Can you guess what it is?!





Yes, we are expecting a NEW BABY!!!!


This will make number NINE!


Here is a bit of the story---I had recently switched to a gluten free diet and felt so hungry for the past few weeks and kept telling everyone, "This gluten free diet makes me feel so hungry---like I am never full." Then one day I was eating a bowl of grapes. Boy, did those grapes just taste ah-mazing.

Now, I knew something was going on. Grapes tasting amazing and not just like regular grapes?? Hmmmmmm.....something seemed strange, and I felt different. And when was the last time I had my period? Three pregnancy tests and a doctor visit later (yes, I was surprised and had to make sure) we are now back on prenatal vitamins after seven years since our twins!



We are so grateful for your prayers! Thank you all for your kind words, love, and support-- they mean SO much to us as a family in this new season of our lives. We are grateful for each and every one of you!  Please pray that all would go well and the baby and myself would be kept safe during this special time.  The Lord has been so kind and good to us, and He is worthy to be praised.




Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him. 
 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth. 
 Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents in court.


-Psalm 127:3-5

Such sweet and blessed news! Congratulations to you and your family... May you walk in step with the Spirit as the Lord brings this precious babe to your womb and know that though this blog is a blessing to many, we will all be okay if you do not post as often as you normally have. The Lord may be restructuring your time at this season once again. Thank you for your faithfulness to our Lord and your wonderful example of obedience to sharing His Truths of the heart and home for women.

Congratulations! What a joy to hear a mom who is so joyful about another pregnancy! I have recently had a big heart change in relation to welcoming more children into our family. I realize I really don't have a right to choose the # of children I am willing to receive from the Lord's hand. My husband does not have this conviction and I am struggling to know how to deal with it w/in the Lord's boundaries of a submissive heart. Of course, I am not refusing intimacy, but it is sad to me to have to separate intimacy from the potential of new life.
