New Baby!

Our new addition to the family is here! Sweet baby girl arrived in a hurry November 9 at 4:30 a.m. Nothing like a newborn, so fresh and innocent.

I am recovering well. Family has pitched in to help keep me off my feet to get me back on my feet. Nothing is normal right now, so things like blogging get left behind. So thankful that I was able to have my husband here at home for a week after the birth. My mother and two sisters in law have also been caring for our toddler. Makes me sad I can't pick her up or give her as much attention as I used to. We are trying to include her in the care of her baby sister so she feels important. So far, she has done very well with the baby.

So now I've added another ball to my juggling act. My verse for this pregnancy was "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." When my daily simple tasks became overwhelming, I reminded myself of the promise that Christ gave me strength and took things one at a time. Now that the baby is here I still can cling to that verse for strength and encouragement to press on when the going gets tough.

I love being a wife and mother! Changing diapers, keeping my home clean, and loving my husband are some of the joys of my life. I don't need to be rich or have a super "success" story to be happy. Being content with where God has put me and with what He has given me brings a happiness that comes from deep inside.

I hope you can find that joy too! Have a wonderful Monday!
