While driving in the car yesterday, I heard one of my favorite songs at the moment, Sanctus Real's "Lead Me." If you have never heard it, you should YouTube it, it is such an honest, raw song that if most families were to be really truthful, would admit fits them. The song is written from a husband's perspective, and I definitely pray that God will give Paul the strength to be a good head of the household, when he isn't feel so strong; but I also know HE can't do it alone, either. I just really started thinking during all my driving, will Paul and I be strong enough in our faith to raise good Christian children? I want my child(ren) to truly love the Lord, not just simply be in a "routine" of church on Sundays and praying at night. I do pray for this child ten thousand times a day and rejoice in the abundant blessings I have been given, but maybe I should be praying for Paul and I, too! I should be asking that he "leads" us to be better partners to one another, good parents to this child, and better witnesses to his grace! Let us be the parents who do not let life get in the way of our family, let us get our priorites straight and know that ultimately what matters is the family that resides in this house. So I ask that you pray with us that we will take this miracle of life we are being given and raise him that way that God intended.
On another note, my best friend Kelsey, who expecting little "Harper"about a month after me, got some really devastating news yesterday! They believe that the baby has skeletal dysplasia, which could be stunted growth of specific bones, or bone growth could cease altogether and it would be fatal. She sees some specialists tomorrow morning and we will know a bit more, but there are also tests to be sent off, and will take awhile to get those results. Kelsey and Noah have a rough, uncertain road ahead and they need all the prayers that they can get, please raise them up. My hope is that the doctor she saw yesterday, who is only human, made a mistake and that sweet baby Harper is going to be just fine! My gut says that Harper and Hudson Pierce Andrew Nolte (we will pick a name soon enough) are going to be the best of friends, and once Noah feels ready to let go ,will go on to marry after their four years apart at A&M and Tech!
21 week survey coming tomorrow...
