If you follow me on social media, you already saw our announcement regarding the expecting of a new little one the end of this summer. We have battled a long season of infertility but we are so thankful God has brought us on the other side of this trial. We are also grateful to have so many support and pray for us during this time. God has taught us so much through all of this to which we are grateful. We might trade the trial but we wouldn’t trade the lessons learned and the blessings we have received through it. What a joy it was to see our little one on the ultrasound and hear it’s little heart beat! God is good and His timing is always perfect!
Ephesians 3:20, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think.”

From My Bookshelf
This month I finished reading The Life Giving Table by one of my favorite authors, Sally Clarkson. Sally is a very inspiring author. This book is primarily about using meal times to disciple your children and others. She speaks about using the ordinary moments as well as creating special times of celebration to speak encouragement into the lives of your children. Meal times are more than just for nurturing the body but also for feeding the soul. If you are looking for ways to make mealtime more meaningful for your family, I would encourage you to read this book.

I hope you have had a great first month of the year! Looking forward to what God has for the remainder!
