Sometimes I wonder why God chose Shawn and I to raise these 2 precious girls, and another on the way. I feel so completely inadequate! Lately I am learning to wake up each morning asking God for his wisdom and patience for discipline throughout the day and for ways to guide my girls spiritually.

Adrianna's heart is so open to things. She knows that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, that he rose again, and that we have to ask him in our heart before we can go to Heaven. She keeps saying, "I haven't done that yet!". I am praying for the day when it goes from her head to her heart. That she will realize that she can do it and that she will realize she is a sinner. Because we DEFINITELY see the sin nature EVERY day! We are trying not to make it our decision by pushing her. We are really trying to show her what Jesus says and fill her mind and heart with spiritual things. This is something we have both prayed for since she was born and sometimes I just want to say "Just do it!". Jesus is working on her heart and when it does happen, I know He has amazing things for her life.

Eliza is so different from Adrianna. She is just carefree and joyful. Always laughing, always repeating some funny word, always making us smile. I dread the day when she gets an attitude! For now, we are just enjoying her and the incredible blessing she is.

I often wonder how different this baby will be. I am really hoping "he":), is layed back like Shawn and will be strong and faithful. I think we will probably find out if the baby is a boy or girl in early July. God knows exactly what we need, exactly what we can handle, and exactly what will bring him glory. It is so comforting to know that I don't have to make those decisions, even though I try sometimes!
I am just thankful that I haven't been as nauseous lately. I have all these things to get done in our house during the 2nd trimester when I have a little more energy! We'll see! The first major transition will be to combine the girls in to one room. Oui...I am NOT looking forward to that!
We bought a loft that Adrianna will sleep on and we can still us the twin bed for Eliza.
Eliza is an extremely light sleeper and Adrianna is a sound sleeper. This should be interesting..:)

We'll, I continue to trust in my Jesus who is ever faithful, who is always with me, who will never let me down. I just need to rely on Him more!
