Experiencing God's Strength

What a week! In the last week we have been to 8 doctor appointments. Sandy went six days in a row for her jaundice; Joshua went for an ear infection and trouble with his lungs (breathing treatments again for 2 weeks), and I went in for an MRI for some problems I have been having. In many ways, the last week and a half have been really tough. My hormones have been off, from having a baby, causing me to be more emotional as well. The thought of leaving my home and family has been difficult. I don't know how I am going to handle the packing and the move, but I know I will get through it by God's grace. Through it all the Lord Jesus has drawn me closer to Himself. He has shown me in many ways how He will provide, not just monetarily or materialistically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. It is so great to have a living and loving God who hears our prayers and provides all our needs, and usually our wants and desires as well. He is Wonderful.

I can't say all of this without bragging on my husband as well. David is so good to me and is such a good father to our children. He has been so patient, kind, and even understanding. When dealing with my health and other issues, I often find myself thinking that WE can handle it. I do not feel alone in life. I love him more and more everyday!

Our Newest Arrival!

Yesterday, God blessed us with a beautiful baby girl-Sandra Elisabeth. She is named after my aunt, whom showed great faith, even through the toughest of times when facing her last months of life on this earth. During great pain and suffering, she continually loved the Lord and never question Him or her salvation. Through her testimony, I realized my need for the Savior and soon after I was saved. Thank You Lord!

Sandy weighed 8.8 lbs at birth and was 20.75 in. long. She was very bruised yesterday due to a tough delivery. However, now she is doing very well, except for a little jaundice. Hopefully, we will be able to go home tomorrow, even if we have to take a light. We miss Joshua and are anxious to have the whole family together. We are blessed!!
