Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice...

Looks like Isaac is going to be surrounded by lovely little ladies. The Henson's are having a Girl! Yay, I'm so excited. Pull out the baby bows, pink onesies, and all the cuteness that goes with having girls. I'm so excited that Addie will have a little sister. I never had a sister and now I will be blessed with two little girls. Would never have guessed, but am thrilled that this is God's plan for our family.

We have a lot of change headed our way in the next year. All Very good changes, but when I sit down and think on all of it...whew, its a lot at once. Maybe not so much the actual changes, but more the process in getting to the changes. I a planner, so needless to say I'm already thinking way ahead. I was thanking God for all the blessings the other day and asking to continue to see His hand in all of it. I tend to be a person that doesn't enjoy "change". Boring you might say, well yes (that's where my husband steps in) But in my little human mind that is where I always feel safe. God has slowly (thank goodness) pulled me out of that little comfort zone I created for myself and showed me the peace and joy that can be found in trusting him through all of life's turns, whether they are good ones, stressful ones or just plain hard ones. I'm so grateful that I serve a God that refuses to let me stay put. Instead he fights for me and lovingly shows me how to grow in order to live life to the fullest.

That all being said, I casually mentioned the other day to him that it would kind of be nice to just have another girl. It was kind of one of those moments where you don't realize you are talking to God, but your heart just can't help it. I thought to myself, it sure would make all these transitions a little easier. I mean, we already have a full stock of pink clothes, blankets, and everything else imaginable. And I feel like now I "kinda" know what I'm doing with a little girl. You throw a boy at me and I feel like I need to get my tough face on and prepare to get dirty all the time. So God was probably laughing at my casual little plea of "please don't throw me another big change", and in his perfect timing he loved on me by showing me this new little lady that will be joining us soon. Thank you Lord for change, little girls, and loving me in the way you do.
