Oh, the waiting!


We are very anxious for our third child, Christopher Martin, to be born! He isn't due until July 22, but Susan has been saying she's "ready" since the end of June! Needless to say, she is starting to get impatient, and I am starting to get anxious to hold the little guy!

Our kids spent the night with Susan's parents last night in the hopes that "maybe" it was the right night for Sooz to go into labor (she had visited the doctor yesterday morning, who "stripped her membranes"--this sometimes leads to labor within 24 hours). Well, Susan did have some "hard" contractions last night, but alas, they went away.

It makes me think of the scripture: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings of eagles..." (Isaiah 40:31)

And also: "Be still and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10)

We covet your prayers as we learn to "wait upon the Lord."
