It's been about a month since I last swung into the baby blog and posted some thoughts so I thought I'd use a few spare moments on another hot SoCal day to reflect. This has already been one of the most exhilerating experiences of my life and I haven't even met this little girl who's already chaning my life in profound ways. She's been moving and kicking like crazy lately. It seems like every time we pray over her or speak to her, she gets a burst of energy. I don't doubt the work of the Spirit even now. Leaping babies in wombs seems Biblical (see Luke 1-2). I sat last week in her empty room (which is about the only room in the new addition completely finished), and I couldn't help but think of all that would envelop this sacred space. Who knows how long it will be her space, and how the colors may change from lilac to something that she some day chooses to call her own? No matter what, I prayed last night that it would be a safe place. That this home, that her mother and I would always be a refuge. It's a nice place.
I'm also excited about the community she will get to experience in so many of you. All the aunts and uncles, and cousins, and grandmas and grandpas, and friends who will play such a vital role in her life. She's already so blessed and she doesn't even know it. Finally, props to the mom to be who is enduring record setting heat during her third trimester and continues to glow (and glisten) with her extravagant charm. Abigail is amazing. She continues to spend each day at Summer Splash, on her feet, loving the children of Azusa in intense heat. And she maintains sanity in the midst of constrution that seemingly will not go away. She's the best, and I can't wait to see her as a mom!
We can't wait to see the MW crew in a few weeks. We're hoping to escape to the cabin in Tahoe before that for a few days before that. We're ready for a little R & R. Blessings to all!
