Lots of Changes!

So much has transpired over the past few weeks. I am reminded of Proverbs 16:9 which says, "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." The Lord is so faithful to establish our steps. Although he already knows the plan he has for us, we just see what's ahead one step at a time. Our joy is growing as we are learning through each step to trust more wholly in our sovereign Lord.

We have been praying about many things this past year and waiting on the Lord to show us his plans for us. One of many answers to prayer is that we've moved! This is a decision we came to through much counsel & prayer. It has been a good walk of faith over these past many months...but that's how we're walk all the days of our lives! :) Our home has not sold and it is now up for rent but the Lord has still moved us on. For awhile, we've also prayed about the possibility of moving in with Aaron's parents for a time. Aaron's brother decided the beginning of March to move out which made us moving in possible. With the twins on their way, the move happened very quickly. We didn't even have much time to let people know we were moving, as it all happened in about a week, but the Lord was faithful to provide all the help we needed. With the doctor's orders for me to be "off my feet," this was quite a humbling task to have set before us. My mom, who is always so eager to serve, ended up staying most of the week with us so that she could help. Friends kept calling saying that they wanted to come and help pack and little bit by little bit, hour by hour, our house was packed up.

It is such joy to be here with Aaron's parents. We know this is where the Lord has us for now and we're so grateful to the Lord and to them!

Quick update on the twins: A little over 2 weeks ago, the sonogram weighed them each in at about 4lbs. 4oz. However, I can feel that they've grown much over the past few weeks. :) They're now over 34 weeks along (breaking Joshua's record of staying in the womb). They're getting much stronger now I love watching and feeling them move all around!

More updates to come...but for now, I'm going to try to get a little more rest before Joshua's nap is up. If I get a chance, I'll post some pictures soon. :)
