The Little Big Sister Waits...

This precious little one, our first grandchild, is about to become a big sister. Brielle was just one when these photos were taken. Now she's all of 14-months. She, of course, doesn't understand the big change that is about to take place in her little world. But within the next ten days or so she will take on a role in which she will have the opportunity for much influence for good for the rest of her life. She'll soon take one the forever-role of being the oldest child in her family, big sister to Evelyn Rose and any siblings who follow.

Brielle's mama was due Sunday. Today Anna had her weekly appointment with her doctor and a non stress test was done on the baby. Both mom and baby are doing well, but no sign of labor. Anna's doctor prefers to wait patiently for his little patient to make her grand appearance in God's timing. So our vigil continues. We wait with eager joy bubbling up in our souls while praying for the safe birth of our second grandchild, rehearsing this thought: "When God wills, as God wills, how God wills." The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, pg. 22

We'll announce the news here when we have a new family member. So stay tuned...
