In the Valley
When Kevin and I got married, I'll never forget during the ceremony, Bob said there will be times you two are in the mountains and times you're in the valley. We haven't had many valley moments in our almost four years, but this week has been one of those times. It seems like there are so many stressors in our life from babysitter decisions to job stress. I always am comforted by prayer, but I get so frustrated with myself because I know and fully admit that I don't pray enough when I'm in a "mountain" moment. I always go running to God when things are hard. Kevin and I prayed together last night and that brings such a peace to our current situation. I hope one day I pray everyday like I do when I'm in pain.
There are many things that are going right for us. My baby is healthy and only 4 1/2 weeks away from entering the world. We got to have our good friends stay with us for three nights and spent time with their 3 month old baby. It felt like college all over again with roommates. Anyway, if you are reading this and feel like it, we would appreciate your prayers for lots of decisions we are making and things that seem like they won't work out, but I KNOW our God is bigger than any problem that seems so huge to me and I'm confident He will take care of us, He always does. I just hope it's sooner rather than later and that I search for what God is trying to say to me during this time. I always look back on things like this and say, oh...that's what you wanted to teach me. I pray this is one of those "tests" that I pass with flying colors. So far, not so good. Today I'm giving it to Him completely. :)

Good for you! I will pray that you and Kevin find peace and solution to your sitter situation. God has a plan, and he will reveal it to you soon. He never gives you more than you can handle. Good for y'all to turning to him for answers.
Ang, I will be praying for you and Kevin and everything you are experiencing. Having a new baby is enough to deal with as your life changes so quickly, but I know the extra stress of working everything out before she is here must be very stressful as well. I will pray for peace for all three of you! And, that the Lord will reveal His plan for you.
You're right...you will look back on this time and be amazed at His hand. But, for now, remember, to be still in Him and know that He is God!(something I have to tell myself every single day!) I love you!
Thanks for letting us stay with you. Chris and I can really understand being in a "valley" cause that's definitely where we've been the last week and a half since The Great Bottle Melting Fiasco. God takes such good care of us, but it doesn't take much to leave us saying "Help! Where are You?" At least, I know that's true for me. I know he took care of us this week by surrounding us with the love of good friends. And he'll take care of you and Nora -- cause that's what he does. xo.
