My One Year Old!!

Dear Declan,

You are an amazing picture of God's grace and love towards us. We feel so honored and blessed to have you in our care and be your parents. You shine with your constant smiles and sweet and tender heart. You are so content and trusting and it is a breath of fresh air to your Momma and Daddy! May you continue to grow and develop into the person God created you to be. You are so precious and loved. We pray that God would create a heart in you that is one that fears and loves Him all of your days.

May God bless you and keep you. May His face shine on you. And May He give you peace.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Dreaming in BLUE!!

We found out that our third baby is another BOY!!! We are so honored and excited to have three boys! I always love seeing a glimpse of the baby on the ultrasound. It is so amazing to see. Everything looks healthy and we are so very thankful to God for that. I am holding on to the fact that God will and promises to give daily grace to raise these three children.

Here is a verse shared in a portion of a letter from my Grandma Stewart that I love remembering and reading:

"I want to share with you what I have learned about my responsibility to teach our children about God's love for them, as well as His requirements of them. Proverbs 14:26 says,

"He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, for his children it will be a refuge."

Notice the "it" and you will see it relates back to the "secure fortress" which belongs to the one who fears the Lord! It is a refuge for the children. I can say this was true in my life. I know my father knew the Lord and that he prayed for me..."

I pray Chad and I will always fear God and will continue to learn what that looks like all of our lives. It is comforting to know He promises to keep us fearing Him forever.
