New Season: Wild, Wonderful, Weird

Wild - I feel so vulnerable...but in a really good, healthy way. It's so deep and out of my control. I have continually let go and let God do His work in me. Lincoln has opened something within. Protection. Sensitivity. Purpose. Lots of emotions that some might associate with hormones and post pregnancy but I know it's Gods way of opening something deep within a woman. I humbly and gratefully accept.

Wonderful - Our hope: the best of Grant and me combined in this amazing new person. Our prayer: to raise one who will make a beautiful mark in this world. The opportunity to shape someones life is a gift. Grant and I have grown so much closer and our love for each other is tangibly increasing with each day. The other night was beautiful and so hard. We both laid there crying - and it wasn't due to the newness of life but the loss that this new season brings. Grant and I have worked together for the last 4 years, driving to and from work together everyday. Our marriage is truly one-of-a-kind rich and blessed. We laid there in bed and cried together and prayed thanking God for our lives, marriage and friendship and released each other into the new season. Such a sacred time. Priceless.

Weird - I'm writing this with one hand on my iPhone and Lincoln feeding in the other. It is 2am. I'm a 9+ hour-a-night-sleep-type-of-gal. Tired and delirious...wondering how long night feedings will last. Want to treasure the time but also looking forward to it passing.

Spring is coming...Lincoln is growing...Life is changing...Love enlarging. xx
