Happy 3rd Trimester to us!

Well baby girl, we made it! Today marks the beginning of week 27, the official start of the 3rd trimester. It's also April 19, just 3 months from your due date! I can't believe we are already here, yet it some ways it feels like I've been waiting for you forever. You kick often, rolling around inside of me. Everytime we have an ultrasound the doctors talk about how active you are. I have a feeling you'll be quite the fireball! :)

This week I am learning about compassion and kindness. I've been praying for a compassionate heart, that's moved to respond in kindness to meet the needs of others. I want to show the same kindness that God expressed to us in His son, Christ Jesus. I pray too that you will have a compassionate heart, that breaks for the needs of others. It's amazing how God works. As I've been learning these things, he's demonstrated them to me. My back has been terrible this week, and his people have been so kind to us. One family brought us a delicious meal, and another friend is coming to help clean our house today. Getting passed themselves, they chose to serve us. I am humbled, and I am grateful for the examples in my life. You will love the people of God, they are such a blessing to us. I am so thankful for our community, and for the kindness of God in my life.
