You write so beautifully and have a way to express your innermost feelings and emotions, even in adversity, that is refreshing and uplifting. I am sorry to hear of such a complicated birth, but amazed at how the Father carried you through it all and brought forth something so beautiful in you and Edwin (how He grew you in the process) and of course, the miracle that is Baby Josiah. Congrats to you both, and especially to you: I have to say, you are a TROOPER! Your perseverance and courage is inspiring! We are rejoicing with you guys over the birth of Josiah and praying for a smooth adjustment to parenthood, and a lot of good rest for you!

You and Edwin blow me away, and through you two I am continually reminded of God's providence and perfect love. Thanks for sharing this. Love to the three of you.

Obedient to our God who we have to believe loves us and wants His best for us. It seems that every geographical move you have made has been out of obedience to Him. What if you hadn't obeyed? What if you hadn't moved? Not that we should look back and always think "what if", but can you imagine how vastly different life would be had you not obediently followed the Call? If our Father truly calls us forward because, in part, He knows that it is the best us and the people we will cross paths with...can you imagine having not followed Him in that? I guess what I'm saying is, while you and I know how hard it is to say good-bye and hello and good-bye and hello and good-bye again, part of me wonders if we would really be as happy as we think we would be if we just stayed in one place, knowing that God is calling us elsewhere. Would we really be as happy as we think we would be, if God knows us best and knows how He will help us thrive in each new situation? I don't know, God is so beyond comprehension, but the fact that He can use our obedience to keep our eyes straining toward Him is, I think, a miracle. So I encourage you, dear sister, to remain in Him and strain forward. Brian and I will be praying for you and Edwin in this time of limbo. Remember, if not in this lifetime, then we will be reunited in the next! We love you!

I love the point you made about how God's reputation went before Israel, and how God goes before us to prepare the defeat of our obstacles and challenges. It's such good imagery. I am so encouraged by you and Edwin's journey of faith you are currently pursuing, and I have had similar experiences in needing to raise certain ridiculous amounts of funds that I know I cannot raise, and then "somehow" the exact comes in almost as soon as the prayer is offered! Be encouraged, my friend! The Lord is clearly preparing your way and He is going to use you in powerful, kingdom-changing ways! Love you!

Isn't it amazing how God has created the progressions of relationship to teach us more about His desire for relationship with us? Parents, teachers, spouses, and children. I love it. Your recent posts have given me an entirely new perspective on pregnancy and children - thank you! Love you! I love this and hearing your perspective on all of it.
