3 + 1 = 4

Today we are celebrating our life as a family of three and we are rejoicing in the love that God has given us for each other. Our life was radically changed two years ago when Asher was born. I can hardly remember what life was like before God gave him to us.

Tomorrow our family of 3 will add 1 to become a family of four. Anne will be induced into labor at 7 a.m. and our lives will change forever with the arrival of our little girl (the doctors think it is a girl and we are pretty sure it is, but you don't know for sure until the little one comes out).

Please pray for Anne as she prepares for labor and delivery. Ask the LORD to give her great strength and an awareness of His presence with her.

Please pray for Asher as he prepares to be a big brother. Pray that he would always know that his mommy and daddy love him deeply. Pray that we would be wise and understanding as his world changes dramatically with the addition of a new baby to our family.

Please pray for me as I prepare to be the father of two. Pray that God would give me wisdom and understanding as I lead our family. Pray that I would have the strength and energy to lead our family and our church plant.

Pray that the gospel of Jesus Christ would take root in the lives of our children and that we would display the glory of God to every person we come into contact with.

Soli Deo Gloria

So excited! Praying for each of you... I will be up and praying for Anne tomorrow morning! Please let us know how things are going at any time you feel led... I will be anxiously awaiting the news of the new healthy arrival and peaceful mom holding her baby...

Anne, give your pain to the Lord... He will carry it... May you find only the peace that He can give throughout your labor. I'll be praying that is short and as pain free as possible.

God Bless your family and enjoy your last day as a family of 3!
