The other day I went for a nice long walk around the river by myself to think and pray and be silent.
And, did I mention the baby is a boy?
We love him already.

the gift of new life
I've caught myself feeling anxious and cynical a lot lately. I really don't want to think about what could go wrong, but there are days I just can't stop myself. I go there and it's not pretty; I panic and the fear sets in and I imagine the worst.
The other day I went for a nice long walk around the river by myself to think and pray and be silent.
After a few minutes it hit me: this baby is special. This baby wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mia. Though this baby will never replace her or fill the void she left behind, it is comforting to think about God's sovereignty in it all. Had Mia been with us today, this life would most likely not exist.
Things would have been very different and I continue to grieve that loss. But I'm thankful for what I've gained.

I've been feeling the same way since we met Levi. My heart still has that ache and longing for Lydia, but I'm amazed and thankful for Levi's life and my joy is so great. Praying for you and your new little guy!
