It has
been such a precious past few weeks for me and my heart is so full to
overflowing with thankfulness for the goodness of God and his sweet sweet gifts.
These
past weeks we have had the joy of celebrating the 7 years my precious first born
baby girl has been with us on this earth....as we waited......and the 5 years my
sweet lovey son has been with us....as we waited some more. And then I had
the incredible honour and greatest of joys to meet a personal super hero of mine
face to face - Charis' very own Elizabeth! We had the most lovely time
together, sharing, praying, dreaming, walking, and yes.....waiting.
And
then at long last, the wait was over and I finally got to meet another I'd been
LONGING to meet face to face - our precious baby girl, Shiloah Lee Guya, born at
3:40 a.m. on June 19th, weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces and measuring 19 1/2 inches
long - our biggest baby yet! It's quite an awesome birth story and I had planned
to share it in detail in this month's newsletter but I've decided it would be
wise to leave you in suspense for now and rather prioritize rest, nursing, and
getting to know my precious girl on this side of the womb. I know Kristin
Schuchmann will be so proud (: Thank you all so much for your love and prayers!
Love
This Mama of FOUR!

'Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them
from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child and The one who labors with child, together,
A
great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
Jeremiah 31:8, 14~~~
