A Very Special Announcement

"In his hand is the life of every creature

and the breath of all mankind."

(Job 12:10)

God is so good. Is there any time in which God is not good?

He has heard our prayer to serve Him alone, and patiently waited for us to open our hearts, leave behind our idols, and loosen our grip on our sense of control and calling our own shots.

He has given--

sent new Catholic friends, mentors, revelations, people, places, situations, sacramentals, and graces to help gently pry our fingers off the wheel of our lives and to allow Him to steer. 

He has put in us a new heart, and put a new spirit within us, one that sees children as a heritage from the Lord. (Ezekiel 36:26; Psalm 127:3). 

Blessed be His name!

This past year, the Lord has also taken away. 

He has called Deb's mom home suddenly, and our two little ones who were never born. But he has also taken away fear--the fear of the unknown, the fear of loss, the fear of losing face for our faith. 

We bless His holy name, for though he slay us, we will trust Him still (Job 13:15). 

Blessed be His name!

And now, He has given once again. 

Twelve weeks along, and a strong heart beat at Deb's appointment today, so time to start breaking the news. David is sure it is a boy, because he prayed for a boy, but we will have to wait until February to find out. We know the risks, but also know that God will not be outdone in generosity. 

Blessed be His name!

God is so good. Is there any time in which God is not good?

Thank you all for your prayers this past year, and always!

:)

"I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; 

I will tell of all your wonders." 

(Ps 9:1)
