We feel so blessed to have our 7th child with us now. He and momma are doing wonderfully!
In the mean time, Daddy and the kids have been on meal/clean/laundry/all-things-momma-related duty. We are trying our best but falling way short of Moms abilities :) here are some efforts....
Note: you learn to really appreciate all your wife does and juggles when you're put in her role and can't fill her shoes! And I'm not even trying to homeschool while doing all this!
Liz and my view while catching a few moments together at the end of the day.
Finally, we covet prayers as the 24 hr bug seems to be making its way through some of the kids this week. We're hoping for a short 24hrs and it skips over some of us, in Jesus' Name!
It seems life is sometimes coupled with incredible blessing and difficulty at the same time. With a healthy new baby boy and a beautiful new place in the country, we are also experiencing some sickness and significant business challenges. I and we are learning to take things one day at a time, to fix our eyes on Him, and thank Him no matter what is going on.
Faith is rising above feelings and what we see to walk by what we don't see. That is easier said than done, especially when the challenges seem greatest. But God is giving us His grace to walk through all things with Him, and He is doing a good work in us through the smiles and tears.
So thankful - or practicing thankfulness :) For the blessings AND the challenges.
Congratulations on your precious baby boy! He looks like a Follman for sure! Praying God will show you His faithfulness during your trials.
