God's Answered Prayer

I have thought about this post for weeks and really don't know where to begin. . . June 27th is a day that I will never forget. I had a very vivid dream the night of the 26th and on the 27th my dream beacame a reality when I saw this. . .
That is right . . . I had a dream that I was pregnant and saw two pink lines.

I have always clung to Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

Tieg and I knew that the future for our family was in God's hands. We had prayed about a third child for almost a year. In the beginning of June, we had the talk if a baby was in our future. I had longed for another baby, but neither one of us could commit to saying we were definitely going to have another baby. We just kept trusting God and knowing that if it was meant to be, he would show us. I specifically asked Tieg to pray for peace for me if we were going to have just two. I just didn't feel content. I didn't feel complete. I felt like I had more love to give and I wanted to raise more children. I am so thankful we serve an amazing God who is always faithful. We can't wait to be parents to this little sweet baby!
To show the power of prayer. The baby measured a week ahead of my estimated conception. This baby was a total answered prayer!
