The Big Brother

Now that Corrie is here, Mac seems so much older and bigger than before. Here are some pictures from earlier today...what a big boy he is!

One Week Birthday

Well little Corrie has been with us for one week, and to celebrate her birthday she got to listen her first sermon and of course watch more NFL football with mommy (Go Redskins!) Here are some pictures of her from earlier today.

She's a 10!

My mom thought of the idea for the title of this entry because our sweet, cute, super cuddly little Corrie was born on 10-10-10. What a great birthday that God decided to give her! Also, my dream came true and I went into labor on a Sunday morning, which meant that I got to spend the day watching NFL football with Corrie (Redskins won in overtime). Not too shabby for a first day of life.

Corrie's Books

I have been praying that God would provide the money for me to be able to have some copies of The Hiding Place to give to people when Corrie is born. Lately I have been thinking "if I could just get at least 2, I could give to one to Kelly's neighbor that we have been praying for and bring one to the hospital in case a nurse is interested. Well, today my friend Kelly gave me two Barnes N Noble gift cards. The store had two books on the shelf, and I only had to pay .96 cents. I am really excited to see what God will do with the books and I am so thankful for Him answering my prayer and providing them.
Also, I have seen God working in other ways regarding Corrie's birth. I have been praying that He will bring her "at just the right time." This phrase comes up in a few places in scripture when God has been planning something important, and He always makes sure the important event happens (or will happen) in the fullness of His time. Ellis has gotten to a point with his projects that it is a good time for Corrie to come, and Lynn had her baby, so that means that Ellis' parents will be able to come down and help us without missing Lynn's labor. Mac is over his terrible bout of Roseola (although now he has impantaigo). We will see when God sends Corrie to us.
I have also been praying for a labor/delivery that will honor God and that will be joyful. I am not sure what He wants me to do as far as natural birth or medication, but I am praying that I will be sensitive to His leading if it matters one way or the other.
