7 days and 29 years...
Today Lauren is 7 days old and I am 29 years old! Never did I think I would be 29 with 3 children. God is so good! I am taking the time today to enjoy my children and the wonderful gift of life.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOY! Just pretend we are all singing to you! :-) Wow - 29 with 3 kids. When I turned 29, I was hoping that I could talk Paul into not waiting until he'd finished seminary (which was his plan) to start having kids!!! (Since he hadn't even started seminary yet at that point, it's a good thing I "won!!")
Hi Joy! I don't know if you remember me or not, but I grew up at MPFBC and even baby sat you a few times. I've been following your blog since just before you left for Africa and love following your story. Congratulations on the birth of Lauren. You have a beautiful family! Hope your birthday was a happy one!
What a jewel!!! She is long and lanky and precious!! Way to go Mom and Dad, and of course, Go God! It's so great to see pictures of your beautiful family. You are doing the world a favor by making such beautiful people to walk around it!! So glad to hear the delivery was good and that you felt peaceful. How cool she will be able to say she was born in Africa!! I love you girl! be praying still for you.
Kendal and Joy - Congratulations! What a beautiful family. You guys have been in my prayers as well as in the prayers of our church family here in Austin (First Evangelical Free Chuch). I'm so proud of you both for your courage and faithfulness to God as you are blessing - through serving - those in Zambia. I pray for your safety, your comfort, and that God would contiue to bless you as you remain faithful in your calling. Love, Nate, Sarah, Aiden and Ethan.(sarahcline2000@yahoo.com)
