Hindsight

Hindsight is 20/20.  What truth in that catch phrase!  10 months ago we found out we were pregnant with our little Hannah and a week later received the call that Dan was accepted as an active duty army chaplain.  You should have seen my first reaction to the later news... not my finest moment I must admit.  Not because I didn't strongly believe this had been God's call on our lives, but this was not my timing!  My plan was either for us to stay an hour from our families in the community of friends and ministry we had just begun to grow comfortable in... OR go active duty and THEN get pregnant after we were nicely settled into another comfortable life community.  It surprised me that wasn't God's plan because it made perfect sense!

Well, here we are 10 months later, 2 moves later, 3 different OB doctor offices later, and 2 kids later.  Hannah was born on her November due date... the only part of this journey that went as planned :).  And as I've posted in earlier blog posts, God has provided for us in every detail of our needs and desires along the way.  It never ceases to amaze and surprise me... although it shouldn't, that's just who God is. 


The next 2 years will bring many new experiences for our family with two growing girls and months when Dan will be away for training or deployment.  As a new Army wife, I can't even imagine what that will be like.  However, as I look in hindsight at the last 10 months I'm confident God is loving and trustworthy.  What peace and joy that truth brings!

Happy new year!
