Isaiah 43:19
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
Meet Baby # 5 (if you count present noses), 6 (if you count Lydia) or 7 (if you count Amelia's twin)
I simplify by answering 5th pregnancy!
I am 9 1/2 weeks along.
Due Date: Sept 2, 2012
(2 weeks before the 12th anniversary of Lydia's birth, 2 yrs and 2 months after Lydia's death)
Yes, our collection of baby things have been making a mass exodus to Good Will for months (not that babies really need that much). I was pregnant and didn't know it when I weepily asked Jason to retire the crib. Yet I'm already seeing God's much more creative plan working to bring new life in my spirit and our family workings.
This song is my theme for this season. It has been still waters to my soul, as I have swung from: But God don't you see that I'm hardly mothering material still!
To: You are working here, will make something beautiful again out of us.

Beautiful Things by Gungor
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
Wow! I could have told you! I saw you in church sometime during December and thought, "I think Allison is pregnant." So, I went on the blog and saw that you were retiring the crib. I thought, "well, I was wrong on that one!" Wow! Amazing! You've been glowing for weeks! Congratulations, Allison and Jason.--Rebecca Lanning

God has decided to give you and Jason a "Masters" degree in parenting, and you a "Masters" degree in mothering - you surely can cook!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently it was time for a new or different crib.
I love has this reads in the Message "Use all your skill to put me together; I wait to see your finished product." (Psalm 25:21)
As He's putting the new little one together, He's also working on you (& us).
Love you,
Dad
