As many of you probably know, we have a baby coming soon. The official due date is Sept. 4 (Labor Day), although the baby will be ready to go in about 3 weeks. We finally have everything purchased and set up and are ready to go; at least, as much as we can be ready with a new baby coming. We are so excited to expand our family and to become parents. We've actually taken a class with my parents about parenting, and it is amazing how much fear is taken out of this process when you know what you are doing, or at least have a guide to follow. I guess that is that same with any situation in life really. We are trusting in our Sovereign God for a lot of things right now, but this new baby coming is definitely the biggest one.
Her name is going to be Charis. For you Greek buffs out there, that is pronounced with a K sound, like Christ, and it is the Greek word for grace. We thought it appropriate to name our daughter that because it is only by the grace of God that she is coming into our lives.
I will try to keep this blog updated with pictures and updates, but so far so good. She is coming and nothing is in her way. We are trusting God to bring her out safe and sound and we'll rejoice when she gets here. Later......
