So Blessed!

(A few words from Emily:) Before John and I got married, I couldn’t wait to become his wife and knew a few years later I would desire to be a Momma (his baby’s Mom as some would say-Ha!). Now that we are here, it is neat to see the many blessings God is lavishing upon us. We feel so blessed to have such a great family and group of friends. Since we told our families and friends about our exciting news, we have received Prego clothes to borrow, books to read, money for expenses, free 'baby equipment', and advice from others; not to mention the many others who graciously listen to me telling of this exciting time. This past week end, Marva (John’s Mom) gave me her Trail Blazer (SUV). This gift was beyond imaginable and I am so grateful. John and I bought our cars in high school and have gotten by without having car payments; thank you God! I’ve never cared about what I drove until recently when my car’s attitude got worse and worse by the air conditioning not working (last Fall-didn’t matter last winter!), the car overheating in the least bit of traffic, and my odometer failing (last September). John’s car isn’t doing much better…that’s another story. But most of all, I knew it wouldn’t be easy to fit a car seat in either of our two-door cars. So, this gift is deeply appreciated. Thanks again Danny and Marva! Another huge blessing is the selling of our house, as John mentioned in an earlier blog. God continually amazes us with blessing after blessing – all of which we don’t deserve but are truly grateful! Thank you God!

There are so many things yet to be worked out but we know God will reveal each open/closed door for us. We hope to find a rent house VERY soon, John is looking for a full-time job as a Mechanical Engineer, and the baby and I will try to stay healthy and rested through it all.
