Flippin' and Turnin'!

Well, I wish I had a picture to share...this child is a wiggle worm, no doubt about it! It's been so fun to smile at her wiggling...it seems to mean so much more now that we know she is our daughter. It's also fun to speculate on her personality. Danny continues to remind me of my strong will...hmmm, that could be fun...and not so unlikely with the punches this kiddo is throwing. :) We'll see.

As we were talking on Father's Day, we realized that one of the things we are looking forward to the most is the opportunity to give little Lizzie the tools she needs to live and serve well. So, strong will or no, we are thrilled with the privilege of raising her in the knowledge of God Almighty and in the grace of His Son's work on the cross. Praise the Lord that He continues to transform us and that He has given and will give us what we need to love and teach our daughter well.

We have an appointment with our midwife, Cindie, tomorrow. We'll go over the ultrasound and begin to think ahead a little bit. That thinking ahead can be a little tricky, and we would appreciate your prayers. I am continually thankful for the faith and trust Danny has in this process. It is such a blessing to be encouraged daily by him as I seem to struggle more.

What a merciful Father we have to carry us in this walk that can seem so uncertain. As we think on Father's Day this past Sunday, we are grateful for our Father in heaven and His gentle ways with us these past 21 weeks, and we look forward to the coming months in the knowledge and faith that He will provide for us exactly enough for whatever comes.

Blessings, loved ones!
