I'm sure after a long period of silence, I have lost most viewers, but just in chase you have faith, I will attempt to blog again.
Today I just had a good, full day of activity and everything "went as planned." I now have read through my husband's blog and I am struck by how much you learn about someone just by reading what they write.
We have had a great few weeks. Last week, my husband was offered a sales position, which he accepted. This is very exciting. A new adventure, an answered prayer and a beautiful reminder of how God orchestrates our life. This is a time of calm after the storm, and I am very thankful. Bless you, those who prayed and stayed in the game with us. We take great comfort in your faith.
Our two-year old is so great. My love for him overwhelms me. It puts me at ease, and then I stand in awe when I think about how much more capable God is of love than I am. Why would I ever worry? My quick responses to any of my baby's needs are nothing compared to God's insights and responses for my life. I would only want the best protection, the most fun games, the most loving friends, the most admired teachers, anything good for my child---and God wants this plus so much more for me. I want us all to know and believe this unsurpasing love more intimately.
What does Christmas time feel like for you? Is it the feeling of the joy of Christ's birth? Is it the shopping sprees, the thrill of hunting for the perfect gift (if it is, please put me on your list!)? Is it the fun party gatherings and unlimited socializing, dressing up like a king or queen for a night out at a show, Is it the pleasant spirit of strangers who are not afraid to speak as he or she passes by and look you in the eye and say something nice or even "Merry Christmas?" I mean, I had a lady grant me cheers when I was standing in line at the deli counter eyeing a maple glazed ham. She was so excited, just by proximity, she blessed me with "Merry Christmas". Is it the Christmas stories or movies? Is it being a "kid" again and appreciating the imaginary world of Santa and his gang? What does Christmas time feel like for you?
We are expecting in mid-March and everything is progressing beautifully. I am so excited about this little angel. A surprise, we aren't fining out "what it is." I expect a baby. A true gift of glory. I did gain 8 pounds over the last four weeks. I was surprised, but I bet those who see me everyday were not. Thankfully this has been my largest gain during the pregnancy, but we still have 10+ weeks.
Take care.
About Me
- Sarah T.
- I'm a mother of 3 boys with two more children due this Spring. I live, work and breath family life with my loving husband, Kevin. We live in the Texas Hill Country, a beautiful place with lots of activity for busy boys. I learned at a very young age (probably because of family moves across the contry) that only God knows and directs my path. I can make plans, but real truth and direction comes daily believing that God is loving and is taking care of me.

Yeah! Another great post by Mrs. Sarah! We are thrilled for you and your little bun in the oven. keep writing Sarah.
Sarah, what a beautiful recap of the holiday season.
yeah, our Father's faithfulness is overwhelming. that passage that goes something like: "who among you, if your child asked you for bread would give him a stone, or for a fish would give him a snake? -- and if you, who are evil know how to give good gifts..."
i don't know where it is, but i like that. he's really there. and he really is never going to give us what is second best. you guys, in your faithfulness during the rocky times especially, buttress my faith in big ways. thanks for the post.
