Rejoicing in the Waiting

Real life reasons I'm rejoicing as I wait for Baby #6...

380. Seeing God provide food even during "lean" times... and knowing that our lean times don't even begin to compare to that of the vast majority in the world.

379. Being led to step out in faith and end our relationship with health insurance and joining with a ministry that supports believers with genuine health bills!  And receiving confirmations that only You could provide!

378. Life springing up in our side garden though we planted dangerously early and prior to heavy downpours!  You are so the Giver of life!

377. Singing hymns with the children as Daddy leads us in Family Worship Time.

376. Being forced to wait on the Lord - as I do not know the day or hour when I will go in to labor.  What a gift to be put in a position of having to wait on my Savior's perfecrt timing!  Oh, may I wait with joy as I trust Him to continue His faithfulness to me.

375. Getting a bunch of quality Christian biographies from PaperbackSwap (for FREE!)

374. Reading a Sojourner Truth biography and getting a more accurate picture of the rich, rich faith legacy of Black people who were slaves and the incredible effect she had on our country!  And the kids and Papa are enjoying me reading out loud!

373. Receiving a book from a friend that is truly encouraging my soul and blessing my marriage and family!

372. The gift of Scripture of memory.  You truly will work in the most pathetic of individuals to allow Your Word to direct, prune, shape, and nourish Your people.  And I am that pathetic one!

371. Hubby has no more night meetings until the 3rd week of April!

370. Taking my last 1/2 gallon jar of tomato sauce out of the freezer for dinner tonight!  So thankful for the blessing of a garden and seeds that YOU alone make grow!

369. Seeing the fruit of praying together as hubby and wifey re: some parenting challenges and seeing the Lord answer prayer in an undeniable way!  His Word

368.  Kadin joining the ranks of the newest WhitneyKiddos to begin "formal" teaching!

367. Still feeling great (the best I've felt in any of my pregnancies) and enjoying home schooling the kiddos.

366. Made it to the month of April so we ready for our first home birth experience!
