An amazing week that has been. Settling in well in our new home and getting used to the change of very few neighbours, switching on and off security lights mornings and evenings but loving the place and space.
Baby gal or big sister started her new school on Wednesday and she blended in so well and I never get used to it. She walked into her new class, asked daddy for her pencil, sat down and moved on. She didn't even say good bye to me and as we left I wondered whether it was wise to tell her bye or it would distract her, so we drove off. I longed for 2.30p.m. when I was to pick her and she was just fine. She loved the school, had made a friend, loved the swing and I thanked God.
Today, we are 38 weeks pregnant. What an amazing journey this has been. I have seen and tasted of the goodness of the Lord. There has been enough grace and strength to face each and everyday and am grateful for all the prayers and support we have been given as a family. Our friends and family have been awesome. Moving house, I didnt have to pack anything or unpack. I had ready hands and hearts willing to do it all. Food while we moved was no big deal, I had someone willing to cook enough to ensure we didnt have to think about lunch or dinner. What blessedness that has been.
So week 38 is here and my prayer is for a manageable labour. safe delivery and for a healthy baby boy. I have such mixed emotions and praying for strength of heart. I keep wondering how our first meeting shall be? Will I just cry as I look into his eyes, at the wonder of the gift? Just the thought puts tears to my eyes. Will he look like Jaden I wonder? Will that affect me or us in anyway? Will it trigger our memories of Jaden?But the Lord assures me not to worry, He is in charge.
In Psalms 100 He promises
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!

In Psalms 100 He promises
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!
3 Know
(perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is
God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are
His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!
5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
So that is the promise I stand on as we draw closer to the end. I shall make a joyful noise to the Lord. Thank you for your prayers and support. The journey continues.
Loads of love
Sly
