I have a reason to worship!

Today is March 7th. Exactly 4 weeks until we meet Baby E! Since my last post, I have had endless encouragement from friends and loved ones and even a few people I don't really even know! In a way, I was afraid the world WOULD judge me for my decision, but then again, who am I to the world?! And really in the end, what does it matter?

There is a song that has ministered to me so much over these past few years, and so much even now. About 3 years ago, my hubby and I were going through a real trial. We could. not. get. pregnant. We even went to the Dr. to make sure everything was fine, and it was. So why wasn't it happening?? I know people have suffered with this much longer than we had to, but 10 months was a long time for us, to be constantly trying. It was very testing for me. I think Casey always knew it would happen sooner or later, so he didn't fret with it as much as I did. But, wow. God put me through the Fire. I remember one certain point when Casey and I went with our youth group to a youth conference in Kansas City. It was so refreshing! One of my dear friends Libby and her hubby prayed with Casey and I, really giving hope and encouragement that this WOULD come! And even that Sunday after, at our home church, she once again prayed with me and talked with me after saying how she really felt God would bring this to pass SOON! And wouldn't you know... I was ALREADY PREGNANT at that time!!!! I found out the next weekend! OH HOW GOD IS FAITHFUL!!! And what would my life be like if I DIDN'T have Eliza?! It hurts to even think about that!!!!

So even now, through this small trial, God WILL remain faithful to me, as He ALWAYS has in the past!! Have you read my love story?? Check it out. Always, always, always faithful.

My song. "This is my prayer in the Fire, in weakness with trial or pain. There is a Faith proved in more worth than gold, so REFINE me Lord THROUGH the flame! I will bring praise, I will bring praise, no weapon formed against me shall remain. I will rejoice! I will declare, God is my VICTORY and He is here!..... I am a conquerer and co-heir with Christ!!! All of my life, in every season, You are STILL GOD! I have a reason to SING! I have a reason to WORSHIP!!!"

Oh my goodness, What a blessing it has been to me!! Constantly on REPEAT in my home!!! God is faithful! GOD is STILL GOD!!!!!!!!

Amen.

Thank you for praying for me, friends! 4 more weeks!!! 4 more weeks!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God has given me JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
