All was quiet in early September 2010. The 30-year-old me, who had recently discovered her first grey hairs in the mirror, flipped through the last pages in a book on insecurity. We were four years into our wait, and I was thinking about my biggest fear right then. Missing the window. Waiting too long.Being an...
So, funny story. I went to bed last night entirely exhausted. I was nearly asleep when I remembered I hadn’t set my morning alarm. I had been planning all day to get up early – I needed some quiet to myself to read and get some coffee in me before the little ones woke up...
I had been circling Psalm 130’s waiting words for three days. Returning to them. Re-reading them. Digging into them. Unable to shake them. And the next morning, I revisited them once again, this time turning to Charles Spurgeon’s collection of explanatory notes from various pastors, teachers, scholars, and theologians on the chapter. And once again, I found solace in the words.

Two days later, I was anxious. It was Monday morning. My quiet time routine had me reading in Nehemiah, but it didn’t feel right. I re-read Psalm 130:5-6, out loud in the morning silence. This is where I’m supposed to camp again this morning, I wrote. And then I turned to Charles Spurgeon and his timeless commentary for insight.

This is truly a marvelous remarkable and God Filled story of His timing and how much he loves us!! So Happy for you and be prepared to be VERY busy!! I just had my 3rd, Maddyx Jordan, early Easter morning, and his sister is 19 months older than him and man am I a busy Mom but Oh SO Blessed too!! My oldest son is 4.5. Congrats on Party of 5. Also, I too knew after having my 2nd that we weren’t done, it’s a feeling that comes over us as Moms. I feel done now though and settled. Enjoy this last pregnancy!
“The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought, event or noteworthy figure in the Biblefor their prominence, the number 3 was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment on the subject.”
God has truly put his divine stamp on your family and is claiming His miracles and His fulfillment of the promises He gave!! Congrats!! To God be the Glory!Amen!
God gave Psalm 112 and 113 to me in a very detailed dream about 3ish years ago. I have it written down and refer to it often in my prayers. I’ve also heard Psalm 126 a bunch from a specific pastor and have meditated a lot on it. I just turned 35 and am still single but I love watching your journey and story. It fills me with so much joy. What God does for one, he can do for all. ❤️
Ohhhh and congratulations!!! 🙂
Your story also resonates with me bc I was diagnosed with cancer at 26. I love how much you love and supported your friend. Everything about your testimony, I love!
Wow! Congratulations, this is so exciting and it gives me hope for my wait. I’m 8 years in (nearing 11 years of marriage) at 36 years old but it’s so encouraging to read your story and see God’s faithfulness. He is faithful! I’m so happy for you and your family.
My heart is singing God’s praises with so much joy for the 5 of you. You writing is such a gift and your love for Jesus is so inspiring. Let the laughter continue for both of you over the months ahead, as your marvel at the miracle of your dear growing baby and your adorable boys. Blessings
Please tell me you’re due right around the time y’all started that journey 13 yrs ago… oh how good it is to see god drawing that circle.
I am!! Isn’t that amazing?? I love how God ties up all the loose ends and redeems heartache in such specific ways!
