I was pretty sure I knew what my life was going to look like a year from now. I, of course, was wrong.I thought we were done having kids. I have two beautiful kids, and didn't feel like my family was incomplete. I have been sick with fibromyalgia and gluten issues. It just didn't seem like another kid was in the cards for us. At least not one that I carried and delivered.
God had another plan. A perfect plan. I was completely shocked to find out that I was pregnant again. It was a good surprise, but a surprise none the less!
I had often thought that we might have made a bad choice in purchasing our 4 bedroom house years ago. Maybe we should have opted for a smaller house with a smaller payment. Now I know why we bought this house. Baby Bush #3 now has a room waiting for him/her.
I had been working as the Preschool Minister at our church the last year and a half. I loved it, but didn't feel like God wanted me to do it full time. Now I know why God didn't want that for me. The new Preschool Minister started 2 days after I found out I was pregnant. Now I can continue to work in the preschool area, but have less stresses in my life!
My in-laws traded cars with us in June. Their car had a thrid row seat that we thought would come in handy when going to dinner with our parents so we could just take one car. Now we know that the reason was so that we will have room for the new baby's car seat!
As this pregnancy continues, I am seeing more and more that this was in God's plan all along. I was just unaware of it.
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." - James 1:17 I
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more that all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." - Ephesians 3:20-21
He has done more that I ever could have imagined in my life. I am so thankful for His perfect plan!!!
