Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Baby Shower!

The ladies of the congregation threw a baby shower for Katie and I in November. It was a really lovely time of sisterly fellowship, and Trish and Ligia really outdid themselves with the decorations (the 'safari cake' is made out of diapers, believe it or not!). And yes.... the blue decorations are mine this time!! We found out in early November that we are indeed having a boy!! The ladies really showered us with love and made it a memorable time with games and special treats.

Julie, I am reading every one of these posts. I appreciate you sharing your heart through all of this transitioning. I look up to you. I am experiencing "weirdness" just from readjusting after our first furlough so I cannot even imagine what weirdness you are going through (and it doesn't help to have the pregnancy hormones as part of it).

I am so excited to hear that you are having a boy! We are due with #3 (a boy) in May. When is your due date? Blessings to you and your family. Praying for you.
