God at work, part seven: rivers in the desert

continued from part six  (read first!)

two days later....

it was 5:00 in the morning and after a restless night of sleep, i was lying half awake in bed and a particular scripture was running through my head.

it wasn't a scripture i had recently read or heard, but it was definitely replaying itself over and over in my semi-consciousness. 

this is what it was:

“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert."
~ Isaiah 43:18-19

i took note of it, rolled over and went back to sleep.

a couple of hours later, i was staring at this:

PREGNANT!!

our hearts are overflowing with joy and praise for this precious blessing! 

remember my desire and prayer to have a baby sometime in 2010?  well, our due date is 12/31/2010.  it makes me laugh everytime i think about that.  isn't that just like Him to do that?

later that morning i shared with greg the scripture that was in my mind and we both agree in faith that it can only be God's reassurance for us as we embark on this new journey that is sure to include some anxiousness. 

isn't He good?  no, isn't He GREAT?!

thank you for your prayers and praise on our behalf.
love,
lauren and greg
