Howdy, Internet viewers. I’m an excited new mother! Luke and I conceived our child in late December, and I’m learning all about motherhood. We’re deciding between calling ourselves “Mommy and Daddy” or “Mama and Papa”…right now, I prefer the latter. I’m eating all that I can stomach, and making sure it’s healthy. Baby is about 8 weeks old at this point, so I couldn’t tell you if God’s blessed us with a boy or a girl.
Please pray for our unborn child, and that we can be the parents that God made us to be…hopefully, that means loving, caring, patient, humble, wise, and always trusting in God as the one who knows best. If anything happens to our precious one before he or she is born, or even shortly after, please pray that we may accept that, and do God’s will.
Whose bright idea was it to live off savings? How can people possibly live without income today and hope to rent a home for a few months without bankruptcy? It’s a cloudy time in my family financially, and we can’t lose hope. Jesus never did, and He loves us more than we love our kid…wow. Luke and I want to make our home where it’s safe to do so, and that’s hard to do when the jobs are in the cities. I abhor cities and try to understand the people who tolerate living in them. Thank God for His green earth and small, sometimes friendly towns, and thank God for volunteers and encouraging friends and family.
Have a great Lent! Remember to abstain from meat on Fridays, and enjoy the fish.
