Teaching....

God sure is teaching me a lot lately. Don't you just love when He calls you to take on a responsibility because you think are good at it only to learn that the reason He called you there was to teach you about yourself and who you are or are not in Him. What a wake up call. Although I am more than thankful for what He is doing in my life because I would not be where I am without some tough teaching here in he past months. Being in the middle of a teaching season is hard. Things are so turned upside down that it's hard to have peace, and hey I love peace!! But it's also taught me that my peace was more wrapped up in my circumstances that I thought. Here is to coming into a season of prioritizing and obeying God. Praying to hear Him loud and clear I know He will deliver :)

Pink pink everywhere....

We were so excited when as we went to our 20 week ultrasound. The kids were excited as Henry anticipated the news of a new little brother. Hmmmm yeah that didn't go quiet as he expected. To our delight we saw sweet images of another Armour baby girl in my belly!!! We both had a feeling this would be so, and were thrilled at how healthy and active she was. We got to see her move all around, rub her little face, open and hut her mouth, ton's of stuff.

Much to Henry's surprise, when we told him we were having a girl, he cried. :( yep he cried. And stayed pretty grumpy about it all day. I didn't want to force him to be happy and thought it important that he work through his disappointment. That evening I finally ask him why he wanted a brother... and his answer made me cry. This is what he said " Well mom, I NEED a brother to help me take care of all these girls, it's a big job" oh my sweet little man. Who knew he put so much pressure on himself with these girls!? I had no idea. I reassured him that taking care of them was mommy and daddy's job and that he only had to be their big brother. Later that night he curled up with me on the couch and said "I'm changing my heart about the new baby girl, when you told me that you and daddy would take care of them it made me feel better" oh melt my heart. It just goes to show you just never know what is going on in their little minds and what simple words can ease their anxieties.

We can't wait to meet this new little miss and promise by the time she is born she will have a name :)
