My Sanity

 

I really don't know where to begin! Lately I've been reflecting on this past year & all of the new, life-altering, exciting, experiences we've been through as a family. Around this time last year we found out we would soon be a family of three and soon after I began my five months of complete dependency. Dependency on the Lord, first and foremost, but also on medication which in turn allowed me to function (I had hyperemesis gravidarum) enough to take care of the blessing within me. The word blessing doesn't really begin to even scratch the surface when it comes to my dear husband though.

I've known from the very beginning that I had someone special, but as we embark on each new chapter of our lives together, the Lord continues to reveal just what a treasure I have found in Andrew.  He was there with me rubbing my back almost every time I got sick, reminding me that it wouldn't always be like "this."  Fast forward to now and he is still my encourager, through each moment- the good & bad/ thick & thin.

 

 

In the prefect balancing act that marriage is, he mellows my tendency to over react and meets my moments of "Mommy anxiety" with patience and love. In parenthood, I now get to see him be a wonderful father to Evan. What a gift God has given me...

 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
(James 1:17 ESV) 

God is good! So very, very good.

 

 

 

***Andrew is a 'fly under the radar' type of guy, so he'll probably shy away from this blatant type of recognition, nevertheless, it's 100% true and I love him with all of my heart!
