I guess I somehow forgot to post here that we are having a baby! #7 is on it's way and due in May. I'm 13 weeks today and judging by my growth and having a very rough first trimester, everything seems to be well, but tomorrow is my first prenatal visit and it's always a relief to a mommy's mind to hear that little heartbeat. I'm so grateful to God and excited to have seven children. It seems so perfect. I jokingly say that we will be Jen and Kevin Plus Seven ;)
Seventh
by Jennifer Wilson
I know I'm number seven,
but the fact you can't deny
is that God, Almighty Giver,
is the Author of my life.
My soul is no less special,
and my spirit no less great
than those that came before me--
be they one, or six, or eight!
So many eyes are blinded
by the whispers of this world--
to them, there is no miracle
in a human life unfurled.
A baby's just a plaything,
a burden, or a chore,
and we must proceed with caution
to prevent too many more!
Only a fool would trust the Lord
to give as He desires
and live a life of trust in Him...
whatever that requires.
A new car may be exciting;
a new house may be a prize,
but my new life is better
than any thing that money buys.
So all the world may roll their eyes
when seven now they see--
But I can't wait until I meet
the "fools" who welcome me.
