New Blog

I decided it was time for a change. So, I made a little blog switch! For the few who actually read this, you can now follow me here!

Happy Friday!

Showered

Baby Luke and I sure were showered with love and generosity during our visit to Alabama. We had two baby showers (one in my hometown, one in Adam's). There are some sweet, precious people in Jackson and Thomasville. The Lord has truly used them to bless our little family.

Jackson Shower

Aunt Jenny and "J-J"

Nonnie (my precious MIL)

Sweet hostesses

Thomasville Shower

Sisters-in-law!

I am SO very thankful for these two. They not only organized this shower for me, but they have also showered me with much motherly advice as well as good quality hand-me-downs! They are both excellent, godly mothers, and I'm sure I'll be calling them often with questions after Luke arrives.

Baby Samuel is due about 2 weeks after Luke. Close cousins!

Good outfit for cold Louisville winters!

Angela and Ana

LOVE this diaper bag!

As if this wasn't enough, my sweet Louisville friends are planning a shower as well! I love seeing Christ use the members of His body to provide for each others' needs. God has been so good to us through the gifts of others, and we are so thankful!

We are in count-down-to-baby mode (even though I still have approximately 8 long weeks left). The nursery is pretty much done, and I'm planning to post some pictures as soon as I finish up the last few things. There is still plenty to do before D-day, though. I've been in a cleaning-out/organizing/nesting frenzy since I've been home! I feel like every closet and drawer needs to be clean and organized before we bring Luke home (especially since we are in such a small space). I'm pretty sure Adam thinks I've gone a little nuts. He is correct. What I really need to do is slow down, still myself before the Lord (very often), and seek to prepare my heart for motherhood. I'm still simultaneously thrilled and terrified about the task ahead. I pray that God would give me the wisdom and strength necessary to love and serve this baby boy sacrificially and to faithfully teach Him the things of the Lord each and every day. Pray for us!
