We made a spur of the moment trip home this weekend. Yes, we were one of those crazies driving in the winter storm warning weather. We left Thursday evening and totally dodged all of the madness on the stack and took the country way through Yazoo. Surprisingly...we didn't have a drop of anything or hit any ice for the entire ride home. God is good.
We celebrated my big sis's birthday Friday evening. It was good to have all of the siblings under one roof. Guess what we had for her bday dinner??? Deer meat :) I ate entirely too much and was full, happy, and sleepy for the rest of the night.
Sunday was such a beautiful day. I absolutely love Sallis on Sundays...especially when the weather is as pretty as it was. We went to my favorite church and listened to my favorite preacher. I found it pretty neat that the one Sunday we are home visiting, he preaches on parenting :) To be quite honest, I have been so caught up in "what to expect when expecting" that I haven't really thought about "what to expect when parenting". But after today...any doubt or worry about the parent I should be that may have come about in the future, is gone.
I was reminded that God has entrusted Blake and I to take care of this amazing gift He has bestowed upon us....because this little one is indeed, a gift. The best way to do that is to love God with all my heart, trust in Him and His word, and let Him take care of the rest. I am so grateful that God has trusted us to be parents to this special gift. Like I've said before, may His love shine through us for this child. I want to be everything I can for this sweet baby.
To our baby B: You are the sweetest gift from our amazing God and I promise to love you with my whole heart. I can't wait to meet you.
