When Daddy makes dinner...


C.J. made Big Macs for dinner tonight and he also took these shots of the boys eagerly waiting to devour them.  I have to say, they were quite delicious and really did taste like the real deal.  For the record, neither of the boys was able to eat the whole thing.  They were HUGE!

I will trust...

When your pregnancy doesn't go as you expected; when it becomes risky and you are faced with the reality that you could lose your baby at any time; when you want a guarantee that things are going to be ok; when you want to be told that you will undoubtedly carry your baby to term; when you just really want your doctor to be able to tell you everything looks great, but she can't;  when you pray like crazy and yet realize that God might have plans that look a lot different than the easy path you want to take; when it seems impossible to drastically limit the activity level you are used to as a mother of three young boys; when all of those things become your reality, you listen to this song over and over and over.  At times you weep, and at other times your heart is filled with total peace.  Peace in knowing that whatever happens, God is faithful.  He is good.  He has a plan that surpasses any understanding.  And you just wait and trust.



P.S.  The song is called "Trust in You" by Lauren Daigle, in case you are interested.  I'm pretty sure every one of us has gone through a trial or two in life that this song applies to.
