~How I told Andrew~

Well since it was a Saturday I had someone call me in a BLOOD test.. Andrew has always said " I don't want to know until its on paper and you are 100%!" So I went and had my blood drawn and sat there and waited what seemed like forever! Once the Lab tech came out and said Congrats... I HUGGED HER! Yes, I did!! I am not lying about that!

We were supposed to eat dinner with my parents so I tried to rush them through eating.. I also rushed through cleaning the kitchen so we could go home!

Upon getting home Andrew jumped in the shower- I then started his Scavenger hunt. 
When he got out of the shower I handed him a note- which had a little riddle that led him to the refrigerator... In the refrigerator he found a Reece's with a Note that said "I thought I was just addicted to them but I don't think that I am... Look beside your bed to find out why"...

He was then led to a table on his side of the bed. There was another note that explained to him that I thought I knew how much I loved him... He had been my childhood best friend, my next door neighbor, my boyfriend and my husband.. but Today God showed me that I could love him more.. because he was going to be my child's Father... Under his note was the 3 test I had taken.. and the blood results of course!  

Talk about a man falling to pieces! Our hearts were humbled that God had provided for the need that we had been praying for! He didn't say no.. he was telling us to wait!

Waiting is the hardest thing that I think we had experienced. Seeing so many around you having children so fast and easy was hard. While being happy for them you catch yourself being bitter inside.... -- I kept trying to remember a quote I heard from Pastor Perry Noble.. He said "If we focus on our Circumstances... They get bigger... But if we turn our focus on Jesus.. our Circumstances get smaller"...

That is my advice when it comes to waiting--- focus on the big picture: Jesus! He had a plan- that was bigger than what we could ever imagine!




Bracelet I had made to remind me that I needed to pray more... and worry less!!! God can handle things on his own.. he doesn't need my help!  Phil 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving present your requests to God".
