I don’t often stare at a blank, white screen as long as I stared at one for this post. It was an emotional evening with my son yesterday. This pregnancy seems to be drawing from John Henry some emotions and questions about his Daddy Bryan and me. And, one particular issue I wasn’t prepared for. It’s not something I feel at liberty to share just yet, but I will when the time is right. For now, my heart is heavy, and I’m seeking God in how I respond to my sweet, tender son.
You see, this is the beautiful part about following Christ. Because, whenever I feel….
Helpless.
Confused.
Stranded.
In desperate need of wisdom and guidance.
I go to my Shepherd.
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8
I go to my Counselor.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. John 14:16
I go to my Rock.
….when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety…. Psalm 61:2
Can you imagine doing life without Him?

We have had very similar with Isaac and little Noah on his way. It has made me all the better as a mom and a God seeker. I am more fervent in my prayers over Isaac and more diligent to seek God for the answers. I know that is hard, praying for comfort and peace for you and that God will speak to you what to share with JH.

I needed those scriptures today. Thank you for sharing. I pray God will give you the right words to settle JH’s tender heart. He is a VERY blessed little boy to have 2 Dads that love him when some kids don’t have any. Please remind him that he is double blessed. Love you all!
