Blessed Morning!!

I feel so blessed this morning. Every time I get on my blog and see the baby count down it touches my heart. I have started my second trimester and this feels like a milestone for me, since just 6 months ago I had a miscarriage. I was doing the math the other day and figured out that I will be giving birth to this child a year from the time I had my miscarriage. It feels like such a blessing from God. I remember when we had our first child and he was stillborn how empty my arms were. Then we ended up expecting a month later. What joy this brought to me. And what a blessing my Elisha is to me. He didn't take the place of Elijah he just filled the empty arms. I feel that God has all control and that he watches over us and knows our needs.

Not sure why I felt to write this but it is what is on my mind and heart. Thank you Lord for the blessings of my children and there health.

Children are such a blessing. I don't know what it feels like to lose a baby or even just have a miscarriage. I'm sure it is pretty tough emotionally. i'm just so thankful that you will get to hold your little baby in just 6 months. I can't wait to love on (him ;) the baby.

I didn't know you had ever suffered the loss of a baby. How painful that time must have been for you both. But I'm so thankful that God filled your arms again. What a merciful, loving God we serve who comforts us in ways no man could ever do. And soon you'll feel the sweet joy in your home once again that comes when God brings forth another life to serve Him.
You're in our prayers

Sweet post, Sis. Cherrie. I'm so sorry for you loss. I can't even imagine what that would be like. But I'm glad God gave you 3 (almost 4) sweet, healthy little ones. You're in my prayers always.

I can't wait till the next little one comes! Have you decided on a girl name (or names) just in case you have a girl?

God is so gracious. He always knows what we need, and when we need it. Grandma testified yesterday about how she had once been asking God for prophesy in Church for a comfort, and she felt the Spirit, and it got stronger and stronger, and she prayed for somebody in tongues, and her comfort was more in praying in tongues than in receiving prophesy. Kali just asked if she actually said she prayed for somebody. Now I'm not sure. Maybe she just prayed, but not for somebody.

As long as I'm on here, I would like to let you know that I have set my blog to private. Aunt Sylvia has my e-mail address. If you would e-mail me, I could invite you to read my blog, which is what I would love to do.

Babies are such a blessing, and the Lord always knows the prefect timing. New babies are so sweet, looking forward to seeing yours too.

Hey Cherrie, I know this is off topic, but I remember in one of your posts awhile ago that you posted about edible playdoh...have you tried that out yet, and if so, was it a good recipe? =/

Skylene said...

I notice that you haven't been posting as much lately. Are you getting run off your feet getting ready to move? Do you have a place to move to yet? I was dreaming about how green it is out in the northwest sometimes! I can't wait until it's time for our vacation.

That is such a sweet post. Even in our trials God gives us what we need to deal with them. I'm so glad that things are going so well with your pregnancy. I'm with Sis. Mary and I can't wait until you guys come out here and soon we'll have another birth to celebrate!

A little note for Skylene:
You had better let me know when you're coming out here so I can make sure and see you!

Hey Sis. Cherrie, I just wanted to let you know that you are on my list of people who can read my blog. I guess that the reason it let you go straight to my page is because your e-mail address on your blog is the same as I invited. I'm not really sure how that all works, but I imagine that that is a plausible explanation. Thanks for letting me know. I was worried for a minute there!
