Yes, a lot is happening and has happened in the Dahl family the past couple of weeks...and more to come.
Tonight is the last night home before I go into the hospital for induction. As I was lying beside Ava as she was going to sleep, I began to get a little nervous about having our 5th child. I have never had that kind of feeling before giving birth I have always been relaxed about it. Yet, as I was softly caressing Ava's brow, I seemed to be overwhelmed by the #5! What is this baby going to be like? This is the last night or two before Kayla and Ava are the only 2 sisters-soon there will be 3! That seems like a big change for our family all of the sudden!
Due to having 4 kids, it isn't often that I sit and ponder over God's kindness in giving me children. Tonight there was a brief quiet and sweet moment the Lord gave, to help me remember that it is Him that has blessed me with children and that He has made each of our children unique. Not one is the same. He has made each one specifically for His purposes and glory. Also for the good of both Stefan and I! How I can so easily forget that amidst the busyness of training those little hearts.
I know that God has ordained the birth of our baby. I know His grace is there when we need.
I know that this baby will bring joy to hearts. All will be well...but what a neat way to be reminded of His goodness to our family!
Treasure your children!
